The problem is that WordPress is executing the main query before your custom query (and the main query is based on the default post type only). You can intercept the main query, modify it, and then use it like so function add_blog_post_to_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘post’, … Read more
if you want to use ajax in wordpress you must have to follow these step: 1) first make your js file like main.js. 2) localize it in functions.php with wp_localize_script(). wp_enqueue_script( ‘main.js’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/main.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) ); wp_localize_script( ‘main.js’, ‘ajax_object’, array(‘ajax_url’ => admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’)) ); 3) make your javascript or jquery code to run your query … Read more
I found some hints here: Can i merge 2 new WP_Query($variable) ‘s? So i created two separate queries and merged them into a new array: $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->posts = array_merge( $query1->posts, $query2->posts ); foreach($wp_query->posts as $post) : setup_postdata( $post ); And then the usual stuff.
Does calling the $query->query($args) method do anything different? $query = new WP_Query( $args ); is simply a shortcut to the “instantiate class first, query later” version like $query = new WP_Query; $posts = $query->query( $args );. You can see it from the class constructor source here: public function __construct( $query = ” ) { if … Read more
What I understood from your question is, you want to get the best seller product in each category and set its image as a category thumb. you will need to loop through all categories then you will need also a nested loop in each category for the best product in the current loop of categories, … Read more
My recommendation would be to use query_posts() to modify your query such that orderby=title and order=ASC … this will return the same results as your first query, but with the posts ordered alphabetically by title.
Hi @janoChen: If you have a choice, go with WP_Query. Both of the other functions (query_posts() and get_posts()) call WP_Query indirectly. The former is designed to allow you to modify the main query after the standard query has already been run, for example when you want a second loop. But query_posts() affects global variables and … Read more
Try this: <ul class=”list-ensemble”> <?php query_posts(‘post_type=person&post_status=publish&meta_key=last_name&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC’); $current_letter=””; if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $last_name = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘last_name’, true ); $letter = strtolower( substr( $last_name, 0, 1 ) ); if ( $letter != $current_letter ) { $current_letter = $letter; ?> <li class=”letter”> <img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/10561/<?php echo $letter; ?>.jpg” alt=”<?php echo $letter; ?>” … Read more
Just a quick update that a new method is_main_query() has been introduced in WP 3.3. Example: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘foo_modify_query_exclude_category’ ); function foo_modify_query_exclude_category( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && ! $query->get( ‘cat’ ) ) $query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-5’ ); } Resources: WPDevel: New API in 3.3: is_main_query() Codex reference: is_main_query() Related Trac Ticket #18677
You’re getting all the posts because you set ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’. This is equivalent to adding another subquery into ‘meta_query’ that says “get me all posts which have an event_date custom field, with any value OR that have even_date to $today etc.”. PS: There are many event plugins out there that have already figured all … Read more
