Assuming you have only two levels of categories, you could first retrieve the parent category and then list the child categories. Furthermore, calling get_children and wp_list_categories uses more resources than necessary, using only wp_list_categories would suffice. I’ve explained my answer in the following snippet that should behave exactly as you need it to! $category_id = … Read more
I don’t know what is the purpose of having each each categories for every month because WordPress has monthly archive. You can use it. However, it is possible that what you are going to do. I can’t write the code here because of lack of time. But I can give a guide to develop it. … Read more
You don’t need to! With a little understanding of how URLs and query vars work, we can do this entirely within the URL of the page, with no additional PHP code First we have a URL: example.com/abc/123 Then we have a rewrite rule. The rule has a regex pattern that matches the URL, and a … Read more
To fine-tune DevelJoe’s answer a bit more, you could access the queried posts from the global $wp_query instead of doing an extra WP_Query. // make the current query available from global variable global $wp_query; // helper variable $brands = array(); // loop queried posts foreach ( $wp_query->posts as $queried_post ) { // check if they … Read more

Secondly, we need to adjust pagination between single posts in order for us to pass our referrer between single posts. The problem with referrers is, they are set … Read more
wp_set_object_terms Works better with term slug instead of term id so change this line: $cat = array($category->term_id); to: $cat = array($category->slug);
One way to output the same query yet style it differently is to use current_post or in combination with rewind_posts, or using rewind_posts alone. So for example: Your initial query if ($my_query->have_posts()) :while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $counter_id = $my_query->current_post + 1; //this is the counter // then use a conditional to style each on based … Read more
