Wrote this code to display specific category from custom post type on wp page.
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ?get_query_var('paged') : ((get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1);
$blog_items_num = ($data['blog_item_number']) ? $data['blog_item_number'] : 3;
$blog_order = ($data['blog_order']) ? $data['blog_order'] : "date";
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'aeolus_news',
'cat'=>'24',
'posts_per_page'=>$blog_items_num,
'orderby'=>$blog_order,
'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
rewind_posts();
get_template_part( 'content-news', 'single' );
wp_reset_query();
?>
But nothing displays.
If comment out 'cat' => '24' then all posts/categories from the custom post type display.
Suggestions?
First, consider using WP_Query() instead of query_posts for post queries like this (see this WPSE answer for details why)
Second of all, if you're using the category id, it's expecting an integer not a string, and the apostrophes around the id are making it a string.
Replace 'cat' => '24', with 'cat' => 24, (with no quotation marks around the 24). Right now it's looking for a category literally named "24".

I am trying to create a custom loop which gets the posts that author__in 1 has commented the specific keyword 'test' on and use that to build the recent posts list.
<?php $query_args = array('search' => 'test', 'author__in' => '1', 'post_status' => 'publish', ); $the_query = new WP_Comment_Query( $query_args );?> <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
This query doesn't work, it gives me nothing, i guess ->have_posts does not exist for wp_comment_query?
How can i build a query using WP_query that lists the most recent posts with comment 'test' from author with id 1? Is it even possible?
Couple things here.
First, the "search" parameter is actually only "s", not the full word. Here's that reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Search_Parameter
Second, the author__in param takes an array, like this: $query = new WP_Query( array( 'author__in' => array( 2, 6 ) ) ); rather than a single integer or quoted digit. Here's that reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Author_Parameters
I think you could get what you want by just changing your code slightly. One thing to note, I'm not sure if the search parameter does a keyword search in comments though, it might only search post content. Try this:
$query_args = array('s' => 'test', 'author__in' => array(1), 'post_status' => 'publish', );
Let me know if this works for you.
I was working on my personal blog theme, and I want to list all my "image post" (have image(s) in it) to a page, so I built a page template, but don't know how to make WordPress query only those posts with image(s).
I know how to query posts with featured image but my blog is too old and lots of posts don't have a featured image. So if I can search and query post with "
Is there a way to make a custom query to get all posts with
And I find the solution now, a simple search for "img" tag will perfectly do the job, the query goes like this
<?php
// set up or arguments for our custom query
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$query_args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
's' => '<img',
'posts_per_page' => 9,
'paged' => $paged
);
// create a new instance of WP_Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $query_args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); // run the loop
?>
I have defined multiple custom post types in my wordpress installation. I want to get latest posts from all the custom post types. all resources and tutorials I look into describes only getting latest post from one custom post type, not multiple.
is there any way to do this? for example assigning multiple values to post_type attribute in WP_Query objects or wp_get_recent_posts() function? if answer is yes exactly how to do this.
any help would be appreciated.
It will fetch posts from multiple custom post type.
query_posts( array(
'post_type' => array( 'custom_post1', 'custom_post2', 'custom_post3',
'custom_post4' ),
'cat' => 3,
'showposts' => 5 )
);
First thing I want to clear here I do not know about WordPress but I can help you with the SQL query
I assume you have date time column in your table .
select * from table name
where column name in (here write all your different types followed by comma )
order by your date time column name desc;
E.g.
select * from posts where type in(1,2,3,4) order by created_on desc;
Let's fetch your all custom post types.
$args = array('public' => true, '_builtin' => false);
$output = 'names'; // names or objects, note names is the default
$operator = 'and'; // 'and' or 'or'
$post_types = get_post_types( $args, $output, $operator );
The $post_types is now an array containing all the custom post type names. Your all posts query should be like this
$allposts = array( 'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type'=> $post_types,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $allposts );
if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
while ($query-> have_posts()) : $query -> the_post()
the_permalink();
the_title();
the_content();
endwhile;
endif;
I am trying to display posts ordered alphabetically by title, only for a certain category. I have tried to follow the instructions in the Codex but I am confused because my code in the template pages looks quite different from the examples in the Codex.
I have a category named "designers" so I duplicated the category.php and named it category-designers.php. Inside, there is a call to a loop-designers.php
Inside the category-designers, I have tried the Codex pice of code:
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' );
$glossaryposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $glossaryposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
get_template_part('loop', 'designers');
endforeach;
But the output is weird: first it displays a list of posts ordered by date, then it displays the same posts but ordered alphabetically, only that the alphabetically ordered list is repeated as many times as posts are (9 in this case).
I know I must be doing something terribly wrong but can't find examples using the get_template_part, they all use a foreach just like in the Codex.
Thanks for your answers.
Edited: in my loop-designers.php I have basically the same as in the loop.php, but with modifications so for that category no date, tags or other info are shown. I pasted the HTML here http://jsfiddle.net/6qdvF/
With the piece of code you have there you are including a loop in a loop. Using get_posts() with a foreach loop is essentially a WP loop, then you are including get_template_part('loop', 'designers'); which is more than likely another loop.
You can remove get_template_part('loop', 'designers'); from your piece of code and just stick in your tags to get the desired content, (i.e the_content(); the_title; the_excerpt; etc..) or you can create a new loop with wp_query() like the below example.
<?php
$query = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'post', 'cat' => 1, 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC'));
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
?>
// put your content template tags here
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
This loop will query "Posts" and category 1. You can change 'post_type' => 'post', to query other post types by changing the word post to the post type name. Or change the category number to the desired category ID you wish to query.
I'm struggling a theme that I got, the theme uses query_posts() and pagination used to work. Now pagination is not working on this page, and it keeps on showing posts from the first page on the second. Meaning, the url shows page/2 but I keep on seeing the first posts of the category, i.e. the first 4 on every page.
Here is the code used to get the posts:
global $current_category;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
global $query_string;
$args = "";
if ($current_category['post_type'] == "product") {
$args=array(
'showposts' => 4,
'paged' => $paged,
'post_type' => 'product'
);
} else {
$args=array(
'showposts' => 4,
'category_name' => $current_category['name'],
'paged' => $paged
);
}
query_posts($args);
And here's the loop:
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
<outputs code here>
endwhile;
else :
<output no results code here>
endif;
if ( is_home() ) wp_reset_query();
Now, can anybody please point me in the right direction?
//update:
I have already tried this solution as well, so far, I can only tell that the paged variable never gets updated in the query.
//update 2:
This page was done custom, and setting it as the home page via Settings -> Reading inhibits the above behaviour. When leaving it as a normal page, and setting home as recent posts, the pagination works fine.
if you have any custom queries in the template, make sure to integrate the 'paged' parameter.
Pagination Parameters
Go through these codex pages:
Preserving Existing Query Parameters
Related: Pagination
I have fixed this after some very long research. My code now looks as follows:
global $current_category, $paged;
if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
} elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) {
$paged = get_query_var('page');
} else {
$paged = 1;
}
This just replaces the first 3 lines of the original code in the answer. The rest looks exactly the same.
