Filter on one post type with taxonimy and get other post type

tax_query with an ‘OR’ relation. This means that the query will fetch posts that meet either condition: they are ‘landing-pages’ with the specified taxonomy terms, or they are any of the other specified post types without additional taxonomy constraints. $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 6, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post_type’ => array(‘news’, ‘videos’, … Read more

Custom WP Query with neither ASC or DESC

Don’t think the effort worth it to do it with generating appropriate mysql statements as you can just use three queries, or sort the posts after you have the results of the query with both ways resulting in a mostly readable code. Main reason not to choose the above is if performance is critical. Another … Read more

Exclude page ID AND current page from wp_query of a Parent page

WP-Query and Searching Inside Arrays

For array and object meta values, WordPress serializes them to string representations using serialize(). Thus, your meta value looks like this in the database: a:3:{i:0;s:9:”1 | 1 | 1″;i:1;s:15:”1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5″;i:2;s:12:”22 | 22 | 22″;} There is no built-in way to query within these serialized strings, but since these are strings with a … Read more
