It sounds like what you really might want is a transient. WP Transients are a way to cache the results of a query, and set an expiration date on that cache. So you could cache the results of your example from above for 24 hours. If anyone requests that data while the cache is still … Read more
Since version 4.0 is available ‘type’ option for ‘orderby’ argument in WP_Query. Also, thanks to the more powerful ORDER BY in WordPress 4.0 you can control how posts of a post type are ordered. Example (untested): $q = new WP_Query(array( ‘post_type’ => array(‘map’,’item’), ‘orderby’ => array( ‘type’ => ‘DESC’, ‘title’ => ‘ASC’ ) ));
I resolved my similar issue (see below code block) by modifying the path to wp-load.php. Actually I used Frankie Jaret’s uri parse script which really only works on the default install but, meh, that’s what I use. I’m sure you can find a function that will parse it out where ever it may reside. Code … Read more
Note that this part: ‘post_status’ => ‘published’, should be: ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, You can then try the following: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘gutschein’, ‘pagination’ => true, ‘posts_per_page’ => ’10’, ‘posts_per_archive_page’ => ’10’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => false, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘meta_key’ => ‘unixendet’, ); add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ’emti_orderby’ ); $q = new WP_Query( $args … Read more
The global $wp_query (in this case its the $query var) holds the $current_post which is available in the loop and tells the index of the current post ( $wp_query->current_post ). The $wp_query->post_count tells the number of posts being displayed in the loop, and this actually becomes a simple arithmetic solution that will work no matter … Read more
Query for distance OR taxonomy term
The only (easy) way this can be done is to query all special, calculate their depth, and then build a new stack of 3-level deep: $grandkids = array(); $specials = get_posts( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ) ); foreach ( $specials as $special ) { if ( count( get_post_ancestors( $special ) ) === … Read more
Attachments count as a built-in post type which is extremely similar to Posts and Pages. The field you’re looking for is post_author. If you have an attachment object: $attachment->post_author If you only have the attachment ID you can use get_post_field( $attachment_id, ‘post_author ); To get the actual Post the the attachment was originally uploaded to … Read more
Try changing the field value to term_id, since there is no id value for that option. Ref: WP_Query Taxonomy Parameters
As per this WPSE thread you are actually putting overload to the apache. That’s why it’s reacting like that. 🙂 So let’s cut the overload, use is_main_query() properly, and just add a simple conditional to your pre_get_posts hooked function: function e_exclude_posts( $query ) { if( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_tax(‘my_tax’) ) { $expired = g_get_all_the_expired_posts(); … Read more
