You do need to run a custom query for your second loop. You can simply adjust the main query to your needs. It is always never a good idea to run custom queries in place of the main query. One big issue is always pagination, WordPress disregards all other queries, and only focus on the … Read more
The problem is still present, but I’ve found a workaround for now. When I replaced echo apply_filters(‘the_content’, get_post_field(‘post_content’, $post_id)) with echo wpautop( get_the_content() ), it worked. I also stopped using the variable $post since I wasn’t accessing the global post variable. So that makes my code look like so: $state_posts = array(); while ($query->have_posts()) { … Read more
Out of the box? No You can do some trickery to try and fool WP_Query into using your new db object but it may have issues with cached objects etc e.g. global $wpdb; // backup wpdb $thedb = $wpdb; // pretend mydb is actually wpdb $wpdb = $mydb; // do stuff // reset wpdb back … Read more
This is the solution, according to the asker. He used the get() method of the WP_Query class to retrieve an array of values (colors), each stored with the meta key color. Because [color] => ‘Yellow’ may appear in the array more than once, he then filtered the array through the PHP function, array_unique() which will … Read more
$items = get_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘inventory’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘taxonomy’ => ‘status’, ‘term’ => ‘in-stock’ ) ); $count = count( $items ); echo $count;
Always great if someone wants to use better, more correct and more efficient ways to get things done. To achieve what you need is not difficult. WORKSFLOW: Use the usort() to create your custom sort order Use the the_posts filter to sort and return the sorted array of posts just before the loop is executed … Read more
Do your posts have multiple categories? If not – I think individual category counts are cached, so can sum up counts: $categories = get_categories( array( ‘exclude’ => $folio_cat_ids ) ); $count = 0; foreach ( $categories as $category) $count += $category->category_count; Can also just get and count the posts, that is more flexible and takes … Read more
Page 1 on repeat is usually a wp_query issue. A 404 is a permalink issue – try setting them to default and see if the same problem occurs. If it doesn’t, then switch them back to custom and your problem should have resolved itself. If default permalinks give you a 404 on page two then … Read more
It appears that you want to create a custom page template to display a custom post type? If so, you don’t really need to mess with pre_get_posts at all. First, create your custom page template. I assume you’ve already done this. Second, you need to create a custom query, using WP_Query(): global $post; $types = … Read more
Try using a loopcounter based on the post number count – provides for more flexibility <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php $count = 0; ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php $count++; ?> // if you are in your first post <?php if ($count == 1) : ?> // do whatever you want to … Read more
