Note that the posts_orderby filter is not available for get_posts() where suppress_filters is true by default. You can use WP_Query instead: $args = [ ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘post_type’ => ‘listing’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true, ]; add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘force_random_day_seed’ ); $q = new WP_Query( $args ); remove_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘force_random_day_seed’ ); if( $q->have_posts() ) { … Read more
You can try the following (untested) mini plugin: <?php /** * Plugin Name: Support for ignoring the default menu order in WP_Query * Description: Uses the _ignore_default_menu_order argument * Plugin URI: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/193291/26350 */ add_filter( ‘posts_where’, function( $where, $q ) { global $wpdb; if( (bool) $q->get( ‘_ignore_default_menu_order’ ) ) { $where .= “AND {$wpdb->posts}.menu_order <> 0”; … Read more
I think the use of meta_query is in order: $user_query = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘meta_query’=> array( array( ‘key’=> ‘birthday’, ‘compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’ ) ) ) ); Basically, this looks for all users where the meta key of birthday doesn’t have a value ie doesn’t exist. More info about meta queries in WP_User_Query can be … Read more
I notice that to link to each post, I am calling get_permalink() and this is creating an extra DB query for each post. Not true. If you check the link to the very old trac ticket #18822 in the post that you have linked to, this issue was raised by @kaiser in 2011. The question … Read more
You don’t need to worry to much about your query as there is not much you can do about it. You can unfortunately not just only query categies, post titles and images natively using WP_Query. Post categories needs to be called separately inside the loop, just like featured images. If you dig deeper into core, … Read more
Are you actually using ‘after’ => date(‘Y-m-d h:i’,time()) in your code? That will always ask for posts older newer that the exact current time when that query is run. Something like this: ‘after’ => date( ‘Y-m-d h:i’, time() – 60 * 60 * 24 ) would give you a reference for 24 hours in the … Read more
That’s a pretty complicated approach you’re taking. Why not simply add a counter? Like this: $i=1; echo ‘<div class=”row full”>’; if( $query->have_posts() ) { while ( $query->have_posts() ) { $query->the_post(); if ($i < 3) $class = “large-6 medium-6 small-12 columns” else “large-4 medium-4 small-12 columns”; echo ‘<div class=”‘ . $class . ‘”>’ … output your … Read more
In general, I agree with Howdy_McGee that one should avoid overwriting the main query unless absolutely necessary – more often than not, modifying the main query with something like a ‘pre_get_posts’ hook is a better solution to such scenarios. Manually overwriting the global $wp_query can cause all sorts of unintended behaviors if you are not … Read more
You could try this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘cqpp_interventions’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘-1’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘priority’, ‘value’ => ’80’ ) ) ); The real issue with your query is because you are passing meta_key and meta_value. However, the arrays in your meta_query argument should have the keys key and value instead. … Read more
I suggest to use the Object Cache API or Transients API, whatever fits better your needs. A very quick example with object cache: // helper function function get_my_object() { $object = wp_cache_get( ‘my_object’ ); if ( false === $object ) { $args = array( …. ); $object = new WP_Query( $args ); wp_cache_set( ‘my_object’, $object … Read more
