Revisited and simplified answer: You can try: $args = [ ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘category_name’ => ‘projects’, ‘_name__like’ => ‘proj*’ // <– our new input argument! ]; $my_query = new WP_Query( $args ); where we’ve created the _name__like input argument. It supports wildcard *, for example: ‘_name__like’ => ‘a*b*’ Note that draft posts … Read more
If you need to: page the query retain 12 posts per page instead of “sticking” the desired posts on top of the required 12 only need to show those posts on the first page you can try the following $ids_args = [ ‘post_type’ => ‘products’ ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘_price’, ‘order’ … Read more
Basic programming techniques you should have learned before building a plugin: You can concatenate checks with && (and) and || (or). You can (and should) guard each CREATE query with its own check SQL syntax you should have looked into before writing queries on your own: IF NOT EXISTS On a related note, please make … Read more
Use the fields argument to grab just the ID – will save you a ton of memory 😉 $product_ids = get_posts( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_type’ => array( ‘product’, ‘product_variation’ ), ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, ) );
Please do not use showposts it got replaced by posts_per_page ages ago. Personally I would add the arguments to the WP_Query like shown below, additionally pagination should work like shown below: $paged = ( get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1; $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘paged’ => $paged, ); $the_query … Read more
Issue 1 In your tax query, you should use NOT IN instead of NOT_IN. That’s preventing your tax query from working ( Assuming that the other fields are correct ). Issue 2 In your arguments for WP_Query(), you should use category__not_in instead of cat. So, change your code to: $argsQuery = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, … Read more
$access_ids is a string. post__in accepts an array. So instead of $access_ids you could use ‘post__in’=> $ids skipping the $access_ids = implode( ‘, ‘, $ids ); all together.
If you poke through WP_Query the set of queried posts is saved into posts property and current post gets assigned to post one (each time loop iterates). So you could do $connected->posts[0] if you need to just fetch that, but it might be more convenient to do $connected->the_post(); then $connected->post if you need to skip … Read more
The shop page is actually an archive page for posts of type ‘product’. Its template is in woocommerce/archive-product.php. You need to use the pre_get_posts action to preprocess the query before the loop, conditional_tags to recognize that you are in the product archive page, and a taxonomy query to filter the product categories, which belong to … Read more
You can define the args outside of the WP_Query instantiation: <?php $tax_query = array(‘relation’ => ‘AND’); if (isset($search_course_area)) { $tax_query[] = array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘course-area’, ‘field’ => ‘id’, ‘terms’ => $search_course_area ); } if (isset($search_course_level)) { $tax_query[] = array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘study-levels’, ‘field’ => ‘id’, ‘terms’ => $search_course_level ); } if (isset($search_course_mode)) { $tax_query[] = … Read more
