You won’t do much good just merging the arguments, you need to merge the resulting posts array and the post_count count. This works for me: //setup your queries as you already do $query1 = new WP_Query($args_for_query1); $query2 = new WP_Query($args_for_query2); //create new empty query and populate it with the other two $wp_query = new WP_Query(); … Read more
$num = $obj_name->post_count; Reference: wp_query
I’m going to answer this myself, but it was the very clever @simonwheatley of Code for the People that solved this one for me. Instead of using wp_reset_postdata() or wp_reset_query(), you can use the following: $publication->reset_postdata(); Where $publication is your query object. The working code now looks like: $publication = new WP_Query( array( ‘connected_type’ => … Read more
Please try this: $args = array( ‘category_name’ => ‘cat1’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ); $pc = new WP_Query( $args ); where ‘rand’ should give you a random order of your posts. For more info check out the Codex on WP_Query order parameters here.
global $wp_query; echo $wp_query->max_num_pages; This shows the number of pages for the current query. If you want to determine the actual number of posts found by the current query, you may use $wp_query->found_posts Source:- http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
The simplest way is to add the action right before the query and remove it immediately after. add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘some_function_in_functionsphp’); $my_secondary_loop = new WP_Query(…); remove_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘some_function_in_functionsphp’); if( $my_secondary_loop->have_posts() ): while( $my_secondary_loop->have_posts() ): $my_secondary_loop->the_post(); //The secondary loop endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); EDIT Another technique you can use is to set your own query var and check for that … Read more
By default, WP_Query returns the standard WP_Post objects for the posts being queried. I believe with some clever rewrite and use of the filters given in WP_Query you can add objects to the returned WP_Post objects array. Will this be performant? In my opinion, it will hurt performance more as you will need to join … Read more
Try ‘post__in’ => array(0) Simple and to the point. Update: ‘post__in’ => empty( $include ) ? [ 0 ] : $include,
You would want to use the NOT EXISTS operator along with passing the taxonomy slug, which tells the query not to include any of a chosen category from your custom taxonomy inside the loop. To exclude all posts that are in the taxonomy “fruit” (regardless of fruit kind), here is the snippet: $args = array( … Read more
The tax_query parameter is an array of arrays, not just an array. This: ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘video_type’, ‘terms’ => ‘episode’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘include_children’ => true, ‘operator’ => ‘IN’ ), Should instead be this: ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘video_type’, ‘terms’ => ‘episode’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘include_children’ => true, ‘operator’ => ‘IN’ … Read more
