Using a new WP_Query inside the loop

It seems that the following code is at fault:

$query_args['tax_query'] = array(
        array(
          'taxonomy'  => 'edd_log_type',
          'field'     => 'slug',
          'terms'     => 'file_download',
        )
      );

It seems to be combining the tax_query args with those from the search query itself, by removing this I am getting a better result, although it is counting ALL logs, not just those with the ‘file_download’ id.

For me it works as downloads are in the hundreds/thousands and some posts maybe have 3-5 other logs that get counted too.

A half fix, but functional for now unless anyone can figure out a way of getting the query to recognise a separate set of tax args?

Thanks guys! 🙂
