This would be an appropriate use of query_posts(), with a post custom meta query. Since you’re querying by meta_key=featured_article&meta_value=on, you would then exclude on the same parameters. <?php // Setup the custom meta-query args $exclude_featured_args = array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘featured_article’, ‘value’ => ‘on’, ‘compare’ => ‘!=’ ) ) ); // globalize … Read more
You can use the add_filter line inside the template itself & no filter in the “functions.php” file. Then just after retrieving the posts remove that filter with a call to remove_filter. The actual function may still reside in the functions.php file add_filter(‘posts_orderby’, ‘edit_posts_orderby’); // get all the posts for this specific loop here remove_filter(‘posts_orderby’, ‘edit_posts_orderby’); … Read more
You should not have to specify orderby=date. That is the default. If you look at the query, you will see that the field used is post_date, which is the publication date and not the modification date– post_modified. You can prove this just by dumping $wp_query after your call to query_posts. Or try: $q = new … Read more
Regarding my comment to Steve’s answer, see also Override the default number of posts to show for a single loop? The “method” version of Steve’s answer would be: function limit_posts_per_archive_page( $query ) { if ( $query->is_post_type_archive( ‘zitate-sprueche’ ) || $query->is_tax(‘zitate-kats’) || $query->is_post_type_archive(‘daten’) || $query->is_tax(‘daten-kats’)) { $limit = 27; } else $limit = get_option(‘posts_per_page’); } $query->set( … Read more
You just need to provide an array with two items — the column slug and the initial sorting order. $columns[‘my_column’] = array( ‘my-column’, ‘desc’ );
Maybe page.php is not your friend for this one. It depends where is the list of posts you want to modify. Try index.php for homepage or archive.php for category based views. Check http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Template_Files_List page.php is used when an individual Page is queried – that means this page is usually the only post displayed there.

Yes, using this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sort-query-by-post-in/ Also see http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13729
Yeah they’ve moved the parameters to WP_Query. You’re looking for the post_parent parameter.
Is there any particular reason not to use the front-page.php template file, and just not bother with trying to pull WordPress headers into external files? Using the front-page.php template file is easy: Create a new static Page, with any arbitrary name (let’s call it “Front Page”) Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading and set … Read more
this is for the codex: Please remember that the “Read More” tag is used only on the Home page which shows the latest posts. It does not work in “Pages”. If you want to turn it on in Pages too for showing a set of partial posts, use the following code inside the loop for … Read more
