You’re not obligated to use categories. The listing of categories is a function of the theme, you can edit your theme and remove that. Depending on the structure of your theme these may be in a number of places. You can search for instances of get_the_category and comment them out. Look for a file called … Read more
If you mean filtering the home page activity stream by blog post category, it’s not possible using any of the buit in BuddyPress template tags, functions or queries. I struggled with this same issue for months and finally gave up. If someone can prove me wrong I would love to hear the solution. If your … Read more
I found this plugin: batch categories plugin. I don’t know anything about it, but it looks like it meets your needs
OK this is what I ended up with, that works well: // get paged value. $paged = get_query_var( ‘paged’ ); $maxPages = array(); $max = 0; // Create the queries $soundPosts = new WP_Query(‘posts_per_page=1&cat=4&paged=’ . $paged); $viewsPosts = new WP_Query(‘posts_per_page=1&cat=5&paged=’ . $paged); $wordsPosts = new WP_Query(‘posts_per_page=1&cat=6&paged=’ . $paged); // get max number of pages for … Read more
This hooks into the update action for any post. It’ll copy all terms for a given set of taxonomies from a parent to it’s children. /** * Update all children of a post with the same terms as itself. * * @param int $post_ID * @param object $post */ function __update_children_with_terms( $post_ID, $post ) { … Read more
Some folks asked the same question you did here. This one specifically worth reading, if you haven’t already. It has ottopress explanation for harmful permalinks. If you really want to force this, you could write your own permalink (http://domain.com/category/subcategory/post…), then either use htaccess rewrite rule or WP_Rewrite to take them to the link wordpress generated. … Read more
First you need to get all the categories that don’t have parents (top-level categories). We’re going to use get_terms for this. Get terms will either return an empty array, a WP_Error object, or an array of objects representing terms. So we need to make sure our call works before continuing as well. <?php // very … Read more
although @roikles offers a way to do it, I don’t think it is very flexible as you will have to go back in the code when you want to add a new category. Another way of doing it can be to add the image of the subcategory as the description of the subcategory. To be … Read more
You’ll have to exclude the category in your next_post_link and previous_post_link calls too, as it’s using the posts data, not your specific queries data, so, this should fix it: while ( $homepage->have_posts() ) : $homepage->the_post(); next_post_link( ‘« %link’, ‘%title’, false, ‘5’ ); previous_post_link( ‘%link »’, ‘%title’, false, ‘5’ ); endwhile; Where 5 is the excluded … Read more
It should be enough to do this: query_posts( ‘posts_per_page=10&paged=’.$paged.’&post_type=publication&publication_category=’.$subcat ); If you look at your original code you can see why you went wrong by looking at what you are literally asking in your arguments: I would like posts that are in the main category but are in the child category.
