It would be atypical for server configuration to have a direct impact on posts query, short of SQL explicitly misbehaving. Which would be quite an edge case. The much more common case would be some code attaching to query filters for its purposes and not being precise enough to target just the queries it needs … Read more
Use WP_Query‘s category__and: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘category__and’ => array( 93, 85 ) ); $my_query = new WP_Query( $args ); while( $my_query->have_posts() ): $my_query->the_post(); the_title(); endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();
Random ordering is quite expensive operations in SQL and can become a headache on very big sites. Getting a random post from a category for 6 categories will mean you might need to run 6 separate queries, each ordered randomly. This can really break the bank and leave you bankrupt. From your answer and looking … Read more
post_author is not a valid parameter for get_posts. You really need to look at WP_Query‘s argument list to see that, as get_posts() is really just a wrapper around that class. author (int) – use author id. author_name (string) – use ‘user_nicename’ (NOT name). author__in (array) – use author id (available with Version 3.7). author__not_in (array) … Read more
2 choices here, you either need to set the category as an array e.g. $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘category’ => array(15,16,17,18,19) ); You can’t just add the numbers in a list but I can’t find any documentation that the category element allows multiples (as the name is category) The other option is to … Read more
You can use transient cache to cache your custom query. Here is a simple code to set_transient cache for your query for 12 hours. In 12 hours WordPress will not make new query but fetch posts from transient. On expiration, it will save new query in transient again for next 12 hours. I have been … Read more
possibly: $related_posts = MRP_get_related_posts( $post->ID ); if( $related_posts ) foreach( $related_posts as $key=>$value ) { //only holds the following information: //echo $key; //the related_post_id //echo $value; //the related post title echo get_the_title($key); echo get_the_post_thumbnail($key); } (edited after downloading and testing the plugin)
Use query_posts $day = date(‘j’); query_posts( “day=$day&order=ASC” );
You cannot get over that limit of 100 posts per requests in WordPress for default requests. One way to still retrieve all posts would be to query that interface until you have all posts. Another would be a custom endpoint. If you can, I suggest creating your own REST endpoint. This will already work and … Read more
Why is it always that I look for a solution for hours… then post it here and within a few minutes I find the solution myself…. I found the solution in this post. The default arguments for get_posts() function include ‘numberposts’ => 5. So when I set number, it was ignored and 5 was set … Read more
