This solution is based on some code by Justin Tadlock. pre_get_posts is called before WordPress gets the posts of the main loop. Basically, you test to see if the page is the archive of the post type and make sure post_parent hasn’t been set. Then you set post_parent to 0, which is the default parent … Read more
Because you’re using a namespace in this class, you need to add a \ in front of the WP_Query call to tell PHP that it’s in the global namespace and not the namespace of this class. Try this: $query = new \WP_Query($args);
My solution was to register the custom post types on the site where I’m calling it from, then in WPML’s settings set them to translate. This is in WPML -> Translation Management -> Multilingual Content Setup, down at the bottom. I assume it works by tricking WP into using that site’s rewrite/translate rules when it … Read more
This is very crude but should sort your posts by year (meta_value) and then by title. It does depend on how the query is setup so it will only work with the query below or with similar ones. function alter_order_wpse_103181($order,$qry) { remove_filter(‘posts_orderby’,’alter_order’,1,2); $order = explode(‘,’,$order); $order = implode( ‘ ASC,’,$order); return $order; } add_filter(‘posts_orderby’,’alter_order_wpse_103181′,1,2); $q … Read more
I had a similar issue but couldn’t solved with the snippets on this thread. I had to order a query by: all ‘featured’ posts first (is_it_a_featured_etf) and by a numeric field (etf_aum) in DESC order after the featured ones. My solution: ‘meta_query’ => [ ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, ‘etf_aum’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘etf_aum’, ‘type’ => … Read more
I know you said you’d rather not install a plug-in, but that’s exactly what you want to do in this situation. Placing the code in your theme’s functions.php file requires you to either use the same theme across all sites in the sub-network or maintain multiple copies of the same file. On the other hand, … Read more
so my question is, is this intended functionality (e.g. are you not supposed to use get_queried_object() on those pages), a technical limitation (is there not a meaningful object to return on those pages), or simply an implementation oversight? get_queried_object() is to get the term, author, single post, single custom post type, or page object being … Read more
You are right, I tried it in a clean WordPress install and it works. Seems like one of the plugins I use in my environment is hooking itself in one of the pre-query events. Thanks!
Have a look at the meta_query_find_compatible_table_alias filter defined in wp-includes/class-wp-meta-query.php. This filter’s documentation: /** * Filters the table alias identified as compatible with the current clause. * * @since 4.1.0 * * @param string|bool $alias Table alias, or false if none was found. * @param array $clause First-order query clause. * @param array $parent_query Parent … Read more
Completely edited after first publish The problem is that to order for a meta value, WordPress need to ‘meta_key’ in query is set to something. But if you set ‘meta_key’ to something, then WordPress will add something like AND ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘the_meta_key’ ) to WHERE SQL clause; and something like INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON … Read more
