tl;dr: build affordable unique identifiers for queries is possible, but is pretty useless. If you’re looking for unique identifiers for query objects, then you can use spl_object_hash, but IMHO is pretty useless: it is non-predictable, and also you get different id even if query vars are identical, but set on 2 different query objects. Only … Read more
You can try the following (untested): Setup the query arguments #1: (today) //—————– // Query part #1: //—————– $args1 = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘orderby’ => ‘comment_count’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1, ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘after’ => date(‘Y-m-d’), ), ‘inclusive’ => true, ) ); Setup the query arguments #2: (!today) //—————– // Query part #2: //—————– … Read more
WP_Query has a bug (#29167) when you try to fetch posts with (almost?) any other status than publish. This bug seems to be fixed in trunk. I haven’t tested it, so I cannot tell if it covers your use case. Try it, and give feedback there if it doesn’t. There are two workarounds: Use get_post( … Read more
First, read this post to understand my answer Search that will look in custom field, post title and post content You may want to use the acf/fields/relationship/query/ however, when adding the args: $args[‘meta_query’] = array(array( ‘key’ => ‘your_meta’, ‘value’ => $args[‘s’], ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’, )); you will find that using that query, WordPress will search … Read more
Take a look at the codex for a better understanding of queries of custom fields but it should look something like this: $subjects_array = explode(“_”, $_GET[“subjects”]); $args = array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘field_name’, ‘value’ => $subjects_array, ‘compare’ => ‘IN’ ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query($args);
Starting in WordPress 3.5, the orderby parameter will allow the value post__in to sort by the order of the post__in parameter, just like in your example. It may not be ideal to wait or require 3.5+, but this will almost certainly be the best and easiest way to do what you’re looking to do. Here’s … Read more
Found the answer from the WordPress docs. For what the query is ordered by, I use: global $wp_query; echo $wp_query->get(‘orderby’); For the order by which the posts are queried: global $wp_query; echo $wp_query->get(‘order’);
You need to consider quite a couple of things here and it seems like you are after increasing performance of a query. The first and most important question you must ask yourself is: Do I need a custom query I have done an extensive post on this subject a while ago which you should check … Read more
Does tax_query beats meta_query even in situations like this? No. Taxonomies are appropriate if you have a common set of values that are shared by many posts, and you’re doing a simple comparison based on whether the post has or does not have a particular value. They are not appropriate if you need to perform … Read more
You’ll need to setup the post for the query by changing the following line to get rid of the infinite loop. <?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?> If your looking for a custom post type, you’ll need to specify that in the query arguments: <?php $query = new WP_Query( array( “post-type” => “yourposttype”, “tag” => … Read more
