This example is checking if it’s … Read more
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.

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

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
