In wordpress, right now only on my main blog page, I managed to sort all posts with:
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'blog-category' ) ) : ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'blog-category' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="blog_list_content">
<?php
global $wp_query;
$args = array(
'meta_key' => 'publish_date',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, $args );
query_posts( $args );
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', get_post_format() );
endwhile;
theme_paging_nav();
endif;
?>
What do I need to do in order to sort the posts on other categories in the same way?
It is the correct code.
Copy and paste the same login in the single.php file of your theme and you'll get sorting for every category.

I use WP-PostRatings WP-PostViews plugins and was able to display pages using functions
<?php if (function_exists('get_highest_rated')): ?>
<ul><?php get_lowest_rated(); ?></ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (function_exists('get_most_viewed')): ?>
<ul><?php get_most_viewed(); ?></ul>
<?php endif; ?>
but they are displayed as plain text and I cannot edit them, add a thumbnail of the post and do other things is it possible to not display them as if using get_posts() like this
<?php
global $post;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'orderby' => 'comment_count',
'order'=> 'ASC'
);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ){ setup_postdata($post);?>
<li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
<?php } wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
but only for rating and views
Building a Wordpress page template for a custom taxonomy and related custom post type. Within a new WP_Query I need to grab fields from (2) different ACF post object fields; list-staff and list-rep. Code works as expected up to the wp_reset_postdata(); correct amount of results are returned, data within each post is unique up to the point of the reset. After the reset, all data is the same within each post. Code follows, and I'm certain there's a more elegant solution:
<?php
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'parade-of-homes',
'parade-category' => 'parade-homes',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'entry_number',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$listing = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $listing->have_posts() ) :
while ( $listing->have_posts() ) : $listing->the_post();
?>
<?php the_field('list_number'); ?>
<?php
$staff = get_field('list_staff');
$rep = get_field('list_rep');
if( $staff ):
// override $post
global $post;
$post = $staff;
setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<?php the_permalink(); ?><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php
endif;
if( $rep ):
// override $post
$post = $rep;
setup_postdata( $rep );
?>
<?php the_field('mkt_co'); ?><?php the_field('mkt_tel'); ?>
<?php
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
<?php the_field('list_address') ?>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
?>
Figured this one out. setup_postdata() is a completely wrong direction for this application. What is correct is documented on the ACF page for "displaying data for multiple post objects." As the article states "Using this method, the $post object is never changed so all functions need a second parameter of the post ID in question." Read more about it here; https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/post-object/. My working code follows:
<?php
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'parade-of-homes',
'parade-category' => 'parade-homes',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'entry_number',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$listing = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $listing->have_posts() ) :
while ( $listing->have_posts() ) : $listing->the_post();
?>
<?php
the_field('list_number');
$post_object = get_field('list_staff');
if( $post_object ):
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post_object->ID); ?>">
<?php echo get_the_title($post_object->ID); ?>
<?php
endif;
?>
<?php
$post_object = get_field('list_rep');
if( $post_object ):
?>
<p><?php the_field('mkt_co', $post_object->ID); ?></span></p>
<?php the_field('mkt_tel', $post_object->ID); ?>
<?php
endif;
?>
<?php the_field('list_address') ?>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
?>
Added this code to display wp custom post by category, but unable to get pagination to work when added posts_per_page="5"
<?php query_posts('post_type=encounters_news'); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'encounters_news_categories');
foreach($terms as $item):
if($item->slug == "chapter-news"):?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content-news', 'page' ); ?>
<?php //comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php encounters_content_nav( 'post-nav' ); ?>
Rewrote and change to this code
<?php
// set up or arguments for our custom query
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$post_type = 'encounters_news';
$tax = 'chapter-news';
$tax_terms = get_terms($tax);
if ($tax_terms) {
foreach ($tax_terms as $tax_term) {
$query_args = array(
'post_type' => $post_type,
'$tax' => $tax_term->slug,
'showposts' => 5,
'paged' => $paged
); wp_reset_query();
}}
// create a new instance of WP_Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $query_args ); ?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); // run the loop ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content-news', 'page' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if ($the_query->max_num_pages > 1) { // check if the max number of pages is greater than 1 ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php echo get_previous_posts_link( '« Previous' ); // display newer posts link ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php echo get_next_posts_link( 'More »', $the_query->max_num_pages ); // display older posts link ?></div>
This code creates the pagination as desired, but displays all the Encounters News Categories instead of just the Chapter News category.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

<?php
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => '', // name of post type.
'tax_query' => array(

Below is my example code that is dynamically get the posts.
<?php
global $post;
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 4 );
$the_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $the_posts as $post ){ ?>
//The Post Content Goes here...
?>
The code above will works correctly but my question is, since this is not a default blog page or a category, how can I use the posts_nav_link() so that I can still access the rest of the pages? I tried to used it but it doesn't work unless if the current page is a category. Hope you guys can help me this.
If you giving you paging in your custom post type. then i think you can do very simple you have to use wordpress plugin like wp-pagenavi after then add your custom post type in this plugin in admin panel after then add
<div class="pagination">
<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
</div>
<?php
global $post;
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 4 );
$the_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $the_posts as $post ){ ?>
//The Post Content Goes here...
?>
<div class="pagination">
<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
</div>
Without plugin you can use like this
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 3, 'cat' => '-10, -72&paged=' . $paged) ); ?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<li>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>
<span><?php the_time('d.m.y') ?></span>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('« Previous Page'), __('Next Page »')); ?>
I have a custom post type named "audio". To display all the posts in a page I wrote the code below, but it does not work.
<?php
$post_type = "audioes";//post type names
echo "djnbfj";
$post_type->the_post();
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => $post_type,
'orderby' => 'post_date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'showposts' => 1,
));
// The Loop
?>
<?php
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="issue-content">
<?php get_template_part('includes/breadcrumbs', 'page'); ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail();}
get_template_part('loop-audio', 'page');
?>
</div><!--issue-content-->
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div> <!-- end #left_area -->
How can i got the posts type i want the custom one written above.
Is the post type called "audio" or "audioes"? Your $post_type variable is set to "audioes".
I'm not sure what the get_template_part lines or the echo line is doing, but the below code should display your post type. You also have the post type name as "audioes" in your code, but you state that the name is "audio". Try the code below, but if the post type is named "audioes" then you'll need to change that in my code below. You can wrap additional divs, spans, or other HTML tags around <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> and <?php the_content(); ?> to give them CSS styles is you wish to.
<?php query_posts(array('post_type' => 'audio', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC')); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="issue-content">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
