when you use the loop the number of post displayed is choosen fron the option set in Settings->Reading in you backend. It affects all the standard loops, not only the author page. To change only for author page you have to use pre_get_posts hook and set the wanted number of posts using posts_per_page argument: add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’change_numberposts_for_author’); … Read more
don’t use query_posts() for secondary loops – When should you use WP_Query vs query_posts() vs get_posts()? get only top level categories using ‘category__in’ should not get posts from child categories for example: <?php $cats = get_categories(‘parent=0’); foreach ($cats as $cat) : $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘category__in’ => array( $cat->term_id ) ); $top_cat_query = … Read more
From Codex : Do not pass a role name to current_user_can(), as this is not guaranteed to work correctly (see #22624) Instead, you may wish to try the check user role function put together by AppThemes. I would propose to use is_user_logged_in() to check your function.
Instance of WP_Query tracks number of current post in current_post property, zero based. So inside your loop you can check for something like if ( 2 == $subpages->current_post ) and output your additional content.
I’ve just managed to resolve this now. This <?php $counter = 1; //counter tracks the number of the post we’re on ?> needed to be above <?php $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query(‘showposts=3’ . ‘&paged=’.$paged); while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?> (not below). End code that works correctly is:- <?php $counter = … Read more
First of all, your page templates will normally include everything needed to make up a page, i.e. including this structure: <html> <head></head> <body></body> </html> which is not what you want over and over in your one-pager. However if you’ve built your templates using the get_template_part() function (described quite well over here) you can reuse it … Read more
You can just use else below your code. <?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘single-post-thumbnail’ ); else: $image = array( ‘/images/featured.jpg’ ); endif; $image_url = $image[0]; ?>
Your issue with output is because you are using versions of template tags that immediately output the result when called, rather than return it to be concatenated with the string. For example the_permalink() as opposed to get_permalink().
Well, I’ve achieved it just adding the post type to arguments on WP Query: $args = array ( ‘post_type’ => $post_type, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘name’=> $newSlug ); $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args ); And done!
First off, to me it looks like the first loop just grabs the first posts of post type tip of the day, and then the second loop grabs the rest minus the first, so unless I am misunderstanding the function of your loops, I would just do 1 loop, check if it is the first … Read more
