If you use WP_Query you can set the orderby to modified and then the order to DESC and you’ll be good to go. If it’s not a custom query, you can just use the set() method on the default $wp_query global to do the same. Since get_posts() is just a wrapper for WP_Query, you can … Read more
I think you can try the following options. wp_list_categories with the ‘show_count’ parameter http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories get category and use $count = $category->category_count; http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_category You can traverse up the functions to get_term if those don’t work and see what is in there, even though you probably can use get the terms you will have to parse the … Read more
<?php $timelimit=1 * 86400; //days * seconds per day $post_age = date(‘U’) – get_post_time(‘U’); if ($post_age < $timelimit) { echo ‘this post is within my time limits ‘; //DO SOMETHING } ?>
if you use ‘post__in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’) then you are only filtering on posts that are sticky. As mrwweb said you need to look at your query. Then think of the ‘loop’ you want. Do you want to show all posts in a specific query or all posts that are sticky in all categories? You might … Read more
That’s because of the Template Hierarchy WordPress uses. The blog.php you’re trying to use isn’t part of the default templates WordPress uses.

pre_get_posts runs on every query, so you want to check if is_main_query() so it only applies to the default query and not additional queries you run on the page. You should also get in the habit of referencing the query object passed to the function like $query->is_category(), as calling is_category() is a wrapper for $wp_query->is_category(), … Read more
Now, is it possible to check if page is the search page is_search() AND what’s the search string is_search() AND print get_query_var( ‘s’ ) AND how many posts were found? is_search() AND print $GLOBALS[‘wp_query’]->number_posts() … or if you got a custom query… $my_query = new WP_Query( array( /* whatever args */ ) ); is_search() AND … Read more
In order not to interfere with main wp_query I would recommend to use this hook, that I used on one of my websites. //wp_query to buffer $temp_query = clone $wp_query; //Use main wp_query with attributes $wp_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 10 ) ); if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); //your code with html and … Read more
