You can get the post ID from the slug with the url_to_postid() function: $ID = url_to_postid(slug); then just exclude the ID from your query: query_posts(array(‘category_name’ => ‘Mycat’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post__not_in’ => $ID )); You can create an array of post IDs if you need to exclude multiple pages.
First of all, never use query_posts. Rather use WP_Query to construct your custom query which is the prefered way You are also using the category_name parameter wrong. If you look at the WP_Query documentation, it states category_name (string) – use category slug (NOT name). Go and have a look at the examples given in the … Read more
Your real big problem here is the use of query_posts. It breaks the main query object, and sets the main query object to the query made by query_posts. What you are seeing is quite normal. Your real solution here with the use of query_posts would be is to reset the main query back to what … Read more
Your code looks sound, so you should have a look at the code in your single.php template, as I suspect that there is something wrong in that template to why nothing is displayed. You should set debug to true in wp-config.php. This should help you locate your problem Secondly, your single-posttype.php is wrongly named. Your … Read more
Eventually, I realized that the output lines after the queries are stack traces! So I looked in the theme’s code, and indeed inside the white_label_themes->CUSTOMFIELDLIST function is a $wpdb->get_results(…) call to the queries. So it wasn’t get_post_meta() after all – that part appears to work fine. I’ll see what I can do regarding those queries … Read more
i found a solution to my problem! function custom_author_archive( &$query ) { if ($query->is_author) $query->set( ‘post_type’, ‘idea’ ); } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_author_archive’ );
The single_tag_title() function returns the tag title while you need the tag slug or ID for use in query_posts(). This should get you started: if ( is_tag() ) { $tag = get_queried_object(); $tag_title = $tag->name; // Same as single_tag_title() $tag_slug = $tag->slug; $tag_id = $tag->term_id; } http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Tag_Parameters
OrderBy The query functions, like get_posts(), query_posts() call a new WP_Query inside – they’re just wrappers. The more important thing is what goes on in the class WP_Query. Specifically inside WP_Query -> get_posts(). When you add an orderby argument, then the following happens: WP checks if it set. If not, then it uses the $wpdb->posts.post_date … Read more
Your meta value is a serialized array. What you’re asking it to get for you is all posts with a meta with the key ‘Notes’ and the value ‘price’. Your meta value is not ‘price’, though, it’s a:6:{s:5:”width”;s:3:”580″;s:6:”price”;s:3:”99″ The first thing you need to do to order by price is to start using a helpful … Read more
Without seeing the broken code it is hard to say, but your filter should look something like this: function pregp_wpse_97354($qry) { if (is_front_page() && is_main_query() && is_user_logged_in()) { $qry->set(‘cat’,2); $qry->set(‘posts_per_page’,5); $qry->set(‘orderby’,’date’); $qry->set(‘order’,’DESC’); } } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’pregp_wpse_97354′); You mentioned something about the user being logged in, which your code does not check for, but I threw that … Read more
