After some hard work and research, I finally came up with this working solution. Please feel free to improve on this code and post an alternative answer. For some reason, the query seems to be running more than once (three to four times in my case). Here, I am making use of three hooks, posts_search, … Read more
Note, the excerpt_length filter does not work like that. It takes one parameter, $length, which is the word length of the excerpt. Updated solution First we wire up the callback function wpse_default_excerpt_length() to the excerpt_length filter. This is our default excerpt length handler. Next, some additional excerpt_lengthcallback functions are declared, but we won’t wire them … Read more
I believe get_posts returns all published (no-private posts) but does display password protected posts. In fact, by default, the standard WP_Query loop does this as well. So by default, private posts shouldn’t appear. If you wanted to display private posts for those logged in, and not those who are logged out, you could use the … Read more
$qry_args = array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, // Post type ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, // ALL posts ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘year’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ); add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘filter_query’ ); $all_posts = new WP_Query( $qry_args ); remove_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘filter_query’ ); function filter_query( $query ) { $query .= ‘, post_modified DESC’; return $query; } … Read more
There’s not really a way to “stop” the main query. There are plenty of filters to modify it, just nothing to turn it off completely. The best you may be able to do is hook into posts_request, which fires right before the data is hit, and return an empty string or something non-sensical. This is … Read more
So, actually there is two ways to do it. The first one is using switch_to_blog() and restore_current_blog() functions, example: // in this variable you can pass all the blog IDs you would like to display posts from $blog_ids = array( 1, 3 ); foreach( $blog_ids as $id ) { switch_to_blog( $id ); $args = array(); … Read more
You’ll want to use the tax_query argument for query_posts/WP_Query. query_posts( array( “tax_query” => array( array( “taxonomy” => “country”, “field” => “slug”, “terms” => array( “usa”, “canada” ) ) ) ) ); The tax_query argument is an array, so you can query multiple taxonomies.
The issue is that the default comparison for meta_query is a CHAR comparison, so the order that the numbers would be in by default would be 1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, etc. To resolve this you need to modify your meta_query as follows: ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => … Read more

Maybe a very quick and (simplified)dirty way I show here, but would this function not solve it without the need to make changes for/in the templates? (Yes I know I also make queries in my templates but wanted to help out before leaving office) function wpse214084_max_post_queries( $query ) { if(is_tax(‘genre’)){ // change genre into your … Read more
