First of all, don’t use and abuse the $wp_query global variable. This global should be reserved to the main query only. Use any other variable that will not create conflict. Secondly, don’t use the raw WP_Post properties. These are raw and unfiltered. WP_Query does set up postdata by default which make the use of the … Read more
You might need a 180° solution here 😉 Think about the problem once more and try this: As a visitor I can filter by color and size. So your solution might be: … JOIN … (A) … (B) … (C) WHERE (A.meta_key = ‘color’ AND A.meta_value=”red”) OR (B.meta_key = ‘color’ AND B.meta_value=”blue”) … AND (C.meta_key … Read more

You could use the Metadata API to retrieve the rw_advertising_position metadata for each post, seperate the ads from the content, and then re-insert the ads at the proper locations: /** * Extracts from an array posts with positional metadata and re-inserts them at the proper * indices. See https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/210493 **/ function wpse_210493_apply_advertising_position( &$posts, $return = … Read more
I found the solution. I was looking for: $wp_query->post_count And some of my assumptions were not correct. This is the actual output: Total posts from the loop 22. Posts per page 10. 1 sticky post. Page 1 gives 10 (9 + 1 sticky). Page 2 gives 10. Page 3 gives 2.
I suspect you need an array for the terms – although I’m not sure why it would work with “IN” and not with “NOT IN”… But I’d try this: function menta_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_search() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $term = get_term_by(‘slug’, get_query_var(‘s’), ‘product_tag’); if ( $term && !is_wp_error( $term ) … Read more
Did you actually find a case where there are any real comments in the wp-query object after running a normal query? If you examine the code in class-wp-query.php, you should find that the comments field only is populated with comments when a “comments-feed” is being queried for. In normal operation, comments are not retrieved by … Read more
User Rarst has a very famous answer where he lays out the load process. Looking at this graph whenever wp-blog-header.php gets loaded it calls function wp() which sets up many of WordPress globals like $post and $wp_query. ( Secondary Reference by User Gmazzap ) That’s the technical side of things but it looks like the … Read more
To make that more efficient, instead of arguing the current page slug, you just place the current slug as the tax_query’s terms value. Something like: global $post; $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_type’ => ‘books’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘book_category’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => $post->post_name, // which’d be … Read more
Stop WordPress to run main query is hard: you have to dig inside the deep heart of WordPress. WordPress frontend workflow: wp-blog-header.php call the function wp() wp() function creates an instance of wp class, and call main() method on it main() method code: public function main($query_args=””) { $this->init(); $this->parse_request($query_args); // build query vars starting from … Read more
