A curious journey of a “cat“ Let’s assume we have the following category hierarchy: where the relevant rows from the wp_term_taxonomy table are: We want to query all posts in the animals category where the id is 65: $query = new WP_Query( array( ‘cat’ => 65 ) ); and try to understand why the resulting … Read more
The Automatic Sponsor Posts Injector: Here’s one idea based on my answer for the question: How to show Y number of custom posts after every X normal posts? I hopefully made it a little bit more useful here on Github, but it may be refined much more (future work). The SponsorPostsInjector class will help you … Read more
The offset parameter is ignored with posts_per_page set to -1 in WP_Query. If you look at the source code in the WP_Query class, posts_per_page=-1 sets nopaging to true. if ( !isset($q[‘nopaging’]) ) { if ( $q[‘posts_per_page’] == -1 ) { $q[‘nopaging’] = true; } else { $q[‘nopaging’] = false; } } This in turn will … Read more
I’ve written answer to How to paginate attachments in a secondary query as gallery?, which can be used for solving this problem. Like @wpmudev-ari said the shortcode can be rewritten, or a new shortcode could be created. I explain below – B. – how this can be done. Additionally there is a very simple solution … Read more
tax_query takes an array of arrays. You have an array of arrays of arrays. var_dump($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
Easiest way to display single post on front page would be: global $wp_query; $wp_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘p’ => ‘POST ID HERE’ ) ); include( ‘single-POSTTYPE.php’ );
As far as I know there is no such parameter as post_type_cat, you want to use either cat or if querying posts in a custom taxonomy you would use a taxonomy query. Category query example; $query = new WP_Query( ‘cat=2,6,17,38’ ); or $query = new WP_Query( ‘category_name=staff’ ); See the following Codex entry for even … Read more
Note that here you’re overriding the paging of the main query, with the posts_limits filter, by using hardcoded values: ‘LIMIT 0, 25’ where 0 is the offset and 25 is the number of posts to display. So in this case I would just use pre_get_posts with $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 25 ); and we don’t have to … Read more
