Custom meta boxes store values in the same way as custom fields, they just have a prettier UI. You shouldn’t need to modify your query in anyway other than knowing the key under which the custom meta box stores it’s values. If you’re using a plugin to generate the custom meta box, you’ll have to … Read more
I’m not sure exactly what’s happening, but I can guess based on a few context clues. That particular function is parse_tax_query. It appears to be checking if the taxonomy is hierarchical, I assume it’s expecting a string that could possibly be a parent/child path of terms, so it uses basename to get the actual term … Read more
Never forget that there’re actually two filters // Add additional query args that are allowed by the API by default pre_get_posts // Modify the query herself posts_clauses // Inspect the resulting string – test this one in for e.g. phpMyAdmin posts_request So everything you can achieve using the pre_get_posts filter should be done there. The … Read more
They’re both doing the same thing. If you don’t pass a post ID, get_the_title() will just use the current post and go about it’s business. The performance difference between passing a postID and not passing a postID is, if anything at all, is extremely minor. get_the_title() Codex get_the_title() Core Function
You don’t need to 2 array for tax query. You can try this scenario: $args2 = array(‘post_type’ => ‘custom’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘events’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘tag1’, ‘tag-2’) ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query($args); echo $query->post_count; You can see the Codex for better understanding.
For those who stumble upon this later, use either option 1 or 2 found here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19373. “For other developers who run into this and need to work around it, either of these 2 options work: call wp_set_post_terms() to add your taxonomies after calling wp_insert_post() set up a “current user” in your script before calling wp_insert_post()”
You can make use of the custom field parameters in WP_Query like you have, you just need to extend it a bit further You can do your sorting by post_views_count and use meta_query to get all posts that has the highest post view count and has a post thumbnail You can probably try something like … Read more
You can use is_admin() in conjunction with the admin global variable $pagenow to make sure you’re not on either the upload or media page: function remove_images( $where ) { global $wpdb, $pagenow; if( is_admin() && in_array( $pagenow, array( ‘upload.php’, ‘media-upload.php’ ) ) { return $where } $where .= ” AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_mime_type NOT LIKE ‘image/%'”; return … Read more
It might be possible to achieve this by using the post clauses filters and rewriting the generated SQL query. You can also run 3 queries, One very lean query to get the desired posts from the date_query One very lean query to get all the posts from the meta_query One final query to get the … Read more
Found the error: $args = array( “posts_per_page” => 12, “paged” => $paged, “post_type” => array( “event”, “post” ) , “post_status” => “publish”, “meta_key” => “_thumbnail_id”, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘event_start’, ‘value’ => date(“Y-m-d H:i:s”) , ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘DATETIME’ ) , array( ‘key’ => ‘event_start’, ‘compare’ => ‘NOT … Read more
