If you look ate the source code where stickies are included, we find the following condition before WP_Query carries on to include sticky posts if ( $this->is_home && $page <= 1 && is_array($sticky_posts) && !empty($sticky_posts) && !$q[‘ignore_sticky_posts’] ) { The big game player is the is_home condition. Conditionals inside WP_Query is set according to the … Read more
After further research I figured out a solution. Given the following WP_Query: <?php new WP_Query( array( ‘s’ => ‘some keyword’, //keyword criterion ‘category’ => ‘some category’, //taxonomy criterion ‘_spec’ => ‘some value’, //custom criterion to be handled by the plugin ) ); ?> You can handle custom parameters using pre_get_posts in combination with posts_where: <?php … Read more
This should work for you: $tEA = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, // you dont need meta_key as you use meta_query //’meta_key’ => $metaKey, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => $order, ‘posts_per_page’ => $postPerPage, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => $metaKey, // value should be array of (lower, higher) with BETWEEN ‘value’ => array(‘START_DATE’, ‘END_DATE’), ‘compare’ => … Read more

The Automatic Sponsor Posts Injector: Here’s one idea based on my answer for the question: How to show Y number of custom posts after every X normal posts? I hopefully made it a little bit more useful here on Github, but it may be refined much more (future work). The SponsorPostsInjector class will help you … Read more
The offset parameter is ignored with posts_per_page set to -1 in WP_Query. If you look at the source code in the WP_Query class, posts_per_page=-1 sets nopaging to true. if ( !isset($q[‘nopaging’]) ) { if ( $q[‘posts_per_page’] == -1 ) { $q[‘nopaging’] = true; } else { $q[‘nopaging’] = false; } } This in turn will … Read more

tax_query takes an array of arrays. You have an array of arrays of arrays. var_dump($tax_queries); and will get this: array(1) { [0]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(3) { [“taxonomy”]=> string(15) “difficulty_mode” [“terms”]=> NULL [“field”]=> string(4) “slug” } } } Try it without the square brackets. That is turn this: $tax_queries[] = array( array ( ‘taxonomy’ => … Read more
This is very unusual case, and the only solution I can think of here is to get an array of category ids to include into category__in in order to skip posts that are only assigned to category 1 In order to achieve this, we must use get_terms() to get all the categories. We will use … Read more
You can not merge two different queries when the returned type is an object, because they have different methods and properties. Instead, you can get them as an array. Then you can merge them and compare the dates. For this, I’m going to use get_posts() over WP_Query(), and get_users() over WP_User_Query() to achieve this. The … Read more
