I’ve found an answer: <?php $cats = get_the_category(); $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘article’, ‘post__not_in’ => array( get_the_ID() ), ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘cat’ => $cats[0]->term_id, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘recommended_article’, ‘value’ => ‘1’, ‘compare’ => ‘==’ ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() … Read more
set_transient() using wp_cache_set() and mysql database. WP Cache API using $GLOBAL(global session for application). Cookies and Session saves data only for one current user(cookies in browser, sessions on backend). I think better using set_transient(), it has nice hooks and save all data global, even on site disabled cache.
Yes, an object containing other objects is “natural”. A House object contains an array of Furniture objects in its $furnitures property… Such as in our case… WP_Query contains an array of WP_Post objects in its $posts property… A one-to-many relationship. This is an Aggregation. OOP is all about programatically modelizing things. These things are: From … Read more
The JSON API is just a wrapper for WP_Query bundled with RESTful endpoints (add_rewrite_rules). Its a way to speed up production by providing a framework which you otherwise would have to code yourself. In fact, if you build custom endpoints, you’ll end up using your own QP_Query loops! The choice is really going to come … Read more
I would like to make a series of comments, but the overall length would be too long for a comment, so I have to write an answer. You should state what is working and what is failing, and tell us what you have tried to get it working. Looking at your code is too general. … Read more
It’s quite some time since I worked with WordPress, but it seems to me that: You’re executing the query twice. First when you pass $args to the constructor during instantiation. Second when you call query(). With this, you’re essentially overwriting the first query (the one that contains the orderby=rand). The documentation of WP_Query mentions that … Read more
There’s a third option, creating a front-page.php template file. It’s similar to your option #1, except option #1 includes you creating a Page within the admin, and in your case it doesn’t sound like you need to do so. Option #1 is more appropriate when you also want to manage some of the front page’s … Read more
You will have to change your tax_query. The xs is not the term_id but the slug So your tax_query will end up being like ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘pa_sizes’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘xs’ ) ) I would love to help with the “instock” problem too, but I’m stuck with that question … Read more
Did you try something like this: $loop = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘business_club’, ‘meta_value’ => ‘United Kingdom’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘zone’ ) ); while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); I don’t know yet if you can do the then orderby town and title.
$wp_query->current_post holds information about current post in loop, not global set of posts. Numering posts across multiple pages is not available natively (as far as I know) and probably would be to unreliable (for example what if number of posts per page changes is customized to be uneven?). For specific implementation building custom numbering, based … Read more
