Base on the updated code, the answer to your question, “How can I add filter or query to show the most views post (new posts) of last 24 hours?” is that you can’t do that. Your code is not tracking time at all. There is no way to pull ‘last 24 hours’ if you aren’t … Read more
Thanks to @Chinmoy Kumar Paul for his amazing help last night and for setting me on the right track. The issue was that because the code was being run inside an AJAX results DIV, WordPress couldn’t locate the ID correctly. It was necessary to post the data using AJAX too and this works fine. For … Read more
You might want to append the query parameter sentence=1 in your search, it is not well documented, but it should retrieve content inside the post that matches exactly the sentence pattern. Alternatively, for a more powerful search, you might want to give a look at Relevanssi plugin. A lot of people agree that WordPress search … Read more
I think you forgot to check if $the_query have posts. <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonials’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?> <div class=”testimonial push_2 grid_10 clearfix”> <blockquote>“<?php the_field( ‘testimonial’ ); ?>”</blockquote> <cite>—<?php … Read more
I would use get_posts() for your two ad hoc Loops. (Actually, you only need one ad hoc Loop, if you’re modifying the main Loop so that only 2 posts are retrieved.) e.g. \\ code modify main Loop to return only 2 posts goes here $firstpost = true; if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() … Read more
When you do a query WordPress already gets the post_meta. Even though you are calling get_post_meta() It is not performing another query. It is retrieving the value from the post meta cache. Now if you don’t need the post meta you can set a flag that will eliminate the additional MySql query. To do this … Read more
Thanks to Rarst for pointing me in the right direction. After a bit of playing around the following query is now producing the effect I’m after: $query_args = array( ‘numberposts’ => $limit, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘post_type’ => ‘match’, ); $query_args[‘meta_query’] = array( ‘key’ => ‘played’, ‘value’ => true, ); if ( isset( … Read more
I think that using standard WP_Query you should run 6 different loops, but this is overwhelming. But using a custom $wpdb query you can do the trick… function get_unique_posts_tax( $taxonomy = ‘category’, $number = 10, $cpt=”post”) { global $wpdb; return $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT p.* FROM $wpdb->term_relationships JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id JOIN … Read more
Static pages doesn’t work with paged query variable, they need the page variable. This is the reason why your second code block makes the query work: it uses the page var when available. However, your paginated links code always use paged: … ‘format’ => ‘?paged=%#%’, … So you are sending paged query var but looking … Read more
In case anyone else needs the code, this is how I solved it. @pieter-goosen was right, I did need to query the correct posts, but the real trick was matching the date format from the jquery datepicker when running the post query. Check the date formats below, jquery is ‘yy-mm-dd’, and the php equivalent is … Read more
