I think that you can improve performance saving view information in one single option instead in post meta applying the filter date on saving instead of on retrieving create the markup and save in a transient instead of saving the query (fragment caching) Rough implementation in a class class PopularPosts { const OPT = ‘myplugin_popular_posts’; … Read more
My workaround for this problem: unset( $post->filter ); $url = get_permalink( $post );
The Transient API saves data inside the database, which isn’t as effective as APC, but a similar workflow as used for transients can be used for APC. It is important to check if APC is available and active, so its functions are usable. Because this isn’t always the case, it is to consider to add … Read more
You can filter ‘get_comment_author_IP’: add_filter( ‘get_comment_author_IP’, ‘wpse_77254_trim_comment_ip’ ); function wpse_77254_trim_comment_ip( $ip ) { return implode( ‘.’, array_slice(explode( ‘.’, $ip ), 2) ) . ‘…’; } Note this will fail with IPv6 addresses.
tl;dr: build affordable unique identifiers for queries is possible, but is pretty useless. If you’re looking for unique identifiers for query objects, then you can use spl_object_hash, but IMHO is pretty useless: it is non-predictable, and also you get different id even if query vars are identical, but set on 2 different query objects. Only … Read more
You can try the following (untested): Setup the query arguments #1: (today) //—————– // Query part #1: //—————– $args1 = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘orderby’ => ‘comment_count’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1, ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘after’ => date(‘Y-m-d’), ), ‘inclusive’ => true, ) ); Setup the query arguments #2: (!today) //—————– // Query part #2: //—————– … Read more
WP_Query has a bug (#29167) when you try to fetch posts with (almost?) any other status than publish. This bug seems to be fixed in trunk. I haven’t tested it, so I cannot tell if it covers your use case. Try it, and give feedback there if it doesn’t. There are two workarounds: Use get_post( … Read more
First, read this post to understand my answer Search that will look in custom field, post title and post content You may want to use the acf/fields/relationship/query/ however, when adding the args: $args[‘meta_query’] = array(array( ‘key’ => ‘your_meta’, ‘value’ => $args[‘s’], ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’, )); you will find that using that query, WordPress will search … Read more
Here’s a straight up simple solution. Requires you to have the most recent version of WordPress though. (or at least 4.1) Using nested taxonomy query. Taking what you have, and just adding to it a bit. $args = array( ‘post-type’ => ‘episode’, ‘post-status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( … Read more
Multiple meta_query arguments with OR You may use the ‘relation’ => ‘OR’ argument in meta_query with two sets of field_order arguments: one with meta_value >= ‘0’ and the other one with NOT EXISTS to generate the main query. ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, field_order’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘field_order’, ‘value’ => ‘0’, ‘compare’ => … Read more
