Turns out I didn’t follow the instructions in the manual to the letter: I seem to have declared global $post too early. I don’t entirely see through this but it works fine now using this code: $eventsPosts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT); if ($eventsPosts) { global $post; foreach ($eventsPosts as $post) { setup_postdata($post); the_title(); // or whatever … Read more
You’re using query_posts() for your featured-post custom loop. As the Codex says: don’t do that. The query_posts() function is intended to modify the Primary Loop. If you need a custom loop, use e.g. $my_custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ). See here for a good break-down of custom-loop options.
Change: foreach ($posts_array as $monster_news) { setup_postdata($monster_news); To: foreach ($posts_array as $post) { setup_postdata($post); It seems setup_postdata() actually doesn’t modify $post itself (which was news to me). PS also loose empty , in array… I am not sure how it actually works for you with that.
Try the following: if ( have_posts() ) { while( have_posts() ) { the_post(); if ( ‘reviews’ === get_post_type( get_the_ID() ) { echo ‘I am a post of the post type ”reviews“’; // We’re done here, continue to next post continue; } // Do other stuff } } EDIT In case you’re not sure if you … Read more
You get all categories with: $categories = get_categories( array ( ‘fields’ => ‘ids’ ) ); This returns an array with all categories. Then you should use get_posts() or a new WP_Query, because query_posts() has many side-effects and should not be used anymore. Sample code, as illustration: $categories = get_categories( array ( ‘number’ => 5 ) … Read more
Yes it is. First you have to combine the results in one array: $all_posts = array_merge( $related->posts, $features->posts ); Now, let’s sort the array items by date: usort( $all_posts, function( $a, $b ) { return strcmp( $b->post_date, $a->post_date ); } ); Finally, do the loop: global $post; foreach ( $all_posts as $post ) { setup_postdata( … Read more
Edit 3 Now, combine Edits 1 and 2: ‘date_query’ = > array( array( ‘before’ = > strtotime( get_the_date() ), ‘inclusive’ = > true, ) ) Edit 2 You don’t have your inclusive parameter inside the correct array. Change this: ‘date_query’ = > array( array( ‘before’ = > get_the_date() ), ‘inclusive’ = > true, ) …to … Read more
to hook in the <head> you would use wp_head. You can read the documentation here. add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘meta_example’ ); function meta_example() { echo ‘<meta name=”description” content=”Meta Description for this Page.” />’; } // End meta_example() This assumes that your theme has <?php wp_head(); ?> in the <head>.
WordPress caches the user information. There’s really no problem just to call get_userdata every time you need it. The only thing you are doing by transfering it to a variable $userdata is have WP fetch it from another place in the memory. Note: read this post for a more general dealing with passing variables to … Read more
Notice that there are no echo statements, so nothing will be output. You need to echo the result, or nothing will be sent to the browser. If it was just a basic loop (without a blue container) I could style the posts with nth-child formula, but I need to place this container in between the … Read more
