This turned out to be a quite extensive little project for me. BASIC IDEA My approach was to go with a custom archive page as this seems to be the best approach here. The thing with custom taxonomies is that if you have a structure in place, changing that would become a real messy expedition. … Read more
One solution would be- $terms = get_terms(‘taxonomy-name’); foreach($terms as $term) { $posts = get_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘custom_post_type_name’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘taxonomy-name’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => $term->slug ) ), ‘numberposts’ => -1 )); foreach($posts as $post) { // do what you want to do with the posts here } }
REWORKED APPROACH Due to this becoming a bit of tameletjie due to styling issues, lets rework everything and look at a different approach I think what we should do here is to rather shuffle the $posts array through usort() to get the posts sorted in the order we want, and then there after we can … Read more
If you look at the Codex for WP_Query you will notice that orderby is not a valid parameter for a meta_query, nor is order, and in fact nor is meta_key. But even if that were sorted out, I don’t think you can do what you are trying to do with WP_Query. A meta_query is a … Read more
As @Robert hue says you can’t do it directly, you need a filter and a CASE in the orderby eg $args1 = array ( ‘orderby’ => ‘tag_count’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘pagination’ => true, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘1’, // 1 post per page?! ‘meta_key’ => ‘_thumbnail_id’, ‘suppress_filters’ => false, ); function wpse173949_posts_clauses( $pieces, $query … Read more
To restrict users to just one post, don’t let them create new posts. Just add one wp_editor() instance to their profile. Hook into ‘show_user_profile’ and ‘edit_user_profile’ to show the editor. Hook into ‘personal_options_update’ and ‘edit_user_profile_update’ to save the content to a user meta or a hidden custom post type. Now they don’t have to search … Read more
I’ve experienced this with several plugins of my own, while trying to display a numerical pagination for my custom post types and custom taxonomies. It’s my understanding that by using WP_Query to fetch posts from the database in your own custom way (other than the default) will prevent you from using such functions as expected. … Read more
Is it possible to do a custom query and convert it to a standard WP_Query object? Yes. You can do something like… $post_ids = $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE ….”); $posts_qry = new WP_Query(array(‘post__in’=> $posts_ids,’orderby’ => ‘post__in’)); The second query will preserve the order of results from the first. I am fairly sure that you … Read more
Please use below code to show posts in texonomy and titles $s = $request[‘s’]; $tags = str_replace(‘ ‘, ‘-‘, strtolower($request[‘s’])); $q1 = get_posts(array( ‘fields’ => ‘id’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘s’ => $s )); $q2 = get_posts(array( ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘tag’ … Read more
This might happen because you need to include the pagination information when you run custom queries with query_posts. Because custom query_post commands ignore any default values of the query_posts command. Here is an example of a query i have used to solve this problem in a simpler case (just to exclude a single category from … Read more
