We all know that ignore_sticky_posts is used to exclude sticky post from your custom query. – No, this assumption is wrong. What ignore_sticky_posts means: Even though in natural English, ignore_sticky_posts sounds like WordPress should ignore all sticky posts from the query, in reality that is not what WordPress does.

Alternative – Single filter We can rewrite it to use only a single filter: add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, function( $orderby, … Read more
Found the answer: After a looong day debugging thru wordpress core, I managed to solve this issue. Basicly, you CANT have a PAGE and a CUSTOM POST TYPE with the same name. If you do, the permalink rewrite rules will get confused and trigger a 404. A very simple solution I’m using is: The page … Read more
I’m using two loops. First loop is to show the page content, and the second loop is to show the queried post contents. I commented into the codes where necessary.
