For last month this query worked, now this 3 days (new month started), no posts at all:
<?php $current_year = date('Y'); ?>
<?php $current_month = date('m'); ?>
<?php endif;
arras_featured_loop( arras_get_option('featured1_display'),
apply_filters('arras_featured1_query', array(
'list' => $featured1_cat,
'taxonomy' => arras_get_option('featured1_tax'),
'query' => array( 'posts_per_page' => 15,
'meta_key' => 'post_views_count',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
'year' => $current_year,
'monthnum' => $current_month,
'category_name' => Music,
'posts_per_page' => $featured1_count,
'exclude' => $post_blacklist,
'post_type' => arras_get_option('featured1_posttype')
)
) ) );
?>
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
UPDATE:
This was not pissible.
But now I found way to do this with plugin Wordpres Popular Posts.
Its working alone in template with this code:
<?php
if (function_exists( 'wpp_get_mostpopular' )) {
wpp_get_mostpopular('range=weekly&cat=276&order_by=views&limit=8');
}
?>
Now, what I need to do is to use this code up into this template down:
<?php endif;
arras_featured_loop( arras_get_option('featured1_display'), apply_filters('arras_featured1_query', array(
'list' => $featured1_cat,
'taxonomy' => arras_get_option('featured1_tax'),
'query' => array(
'posts_per_page' => $featured1_count,
'exclude' => $post_blacklist,
'post_type' => arras_get_option('featured1_posttype')
)
) ) );
?>
I think I need to put it inside here:
'query' => array(
Problem is I don't know to turn query from existing to one with arrows 'range=weekly' to 'range' => weekly didnt worked.

I am using two loop query:
<?php
// show all coupons marked Top Coupon
query_posts(array(
'post_type' => APP_POST_TYPE,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_key' => 'clpr_topcoupon',
'meta_value'=> 1,
APP_TAX_STORE => $term->slug,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => 1
));
?>
<?php get_template_part( 'loop3', 'coupon' ); ?>
<?php
query_posts( array(
'post_type' => APP_POST_TYPE,
'post_status' => 'publish',
APP_TAX_STORE => $term->slug,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'clpr_excoupon',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
),
array(
'key' => 'clpr_excoupon',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => '1'
),
),
) );
?>
<?php get_template_part( 'loop1', 'coupon' ); ?>
Now I don't want to show the first post from the first loop in the second loop. I tried get_the_ID(); however if this one is not having the 'meta_key' => 'clpr_topcoupon' one post is missing. How do I get the get_the_ID(); from first post but only if it has the 'meta_key' => 'clpr_topcoupon'?
Wordpress docs suggest that you should avoid using query_posts whenever possible stating:
Note: This function will completely override the main query and isn’t intended for use by plugins or themes. Its overly-simplistic approach to modifying the main query can be problematic and should be avoided wherever possible.
Instead we can use WP_Query . We'll use the first loop to store the post id and check it during the second loop. Maybe something like this:
<?php
//set parameters for First query
$args = array('post_type' => APP_POST_TYPE,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_key' => 'clpr_topcoupon',
'meta_value'=> 1,
APP_TAX_STORE => $term->slug,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => 1 );
$first_query = new WP_Query($args); // create query
$post_id = 0;
//initialize loop for custom query like this
if ($first_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($first_query->have_posts() ) {
$first_query->the_post();
$post_id = $post->ID; //store post ID outside of loop
get_template_part( 'loop3', 'coupon' );
}
}
wp_reset_postdata();
//setup second query
$args = array( //excludes post from query by ID See Bill erikson for complete list of WP_Query() arguments
'post__not_in' => array($post_id),
'post_type' => APP_POST_TYPE,
'post_status' => 'publish',
APP_TAX_STORE => $term->slug,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'clpr_excoupon',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
),
array(
'key' => 'clpr_excoupon',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => '1'
)
)
);
$second_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($second_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($second_query->have_posts() {
$second_query->the_post();
get_template_part( 'loop1', 'coupon' );
}
}
wp_reset_postdata();
Hopefully, this code is able to assist you. As you can see, WP_Query accepts an argument 'post__not_in' that takes an array of page id's and excludes them from the query. We retrieved the id from the first query and referenced it in the argument of the second query. I also included wp_reset_postdata which is worth taking a look at if you're running multiple queries.
Good luck with your project!
I have two custom fields for views. weekly_views and all_views. The weekly views custom field is deleted every week and starts counting views again from 0. So now what I want to achieve is show 12 posts by weekly views but when the custom field is deleted and unless there are views on those posts the query shows nothing. I want to show here posts by all_views instead of no posts.
My query goes as follows but it's not working as I want. In short what I want to achieve is to show posts by weekly_views custom field but if there's no post then show posts by all_views. And also if there's less than 12 posts by weekly_views then show weekly_views posts first and then remaining posts by all_views.
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'custom_post_type_1', 'custom_post_type_2'),
'posts_per_page' => '12',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'weekly_views',
),
array(
'key' => 'all_views',
),
),
);
The above code is returning me posts but are sorted by all_views.
Edit
The new query that's working for me
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type'=> array( 'custom_post_type1', 'custom_post_type2'),
'posts_per_page' => '12',
'meta_key' => 'weekly_views',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ($the_query->post_count < 12) {
$countweeklyposts = $the_query->post_count;
$showallpostscount = 12 - $countweeklyposts;
$args2 = array(
'post_type'=> array( 'band', 'artist'),
'posts_per_page' => $showallpostscount,
'meta_key' => 'all_views',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
);
$the_query2 = new WP_Query( $args2 );
}
?>
<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>
//Code to show posts goes here
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
<?php while ($the_query2 -> have_posts()) : $the_query2 -> the_post(); ?>
//Code to show posts goes here
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
You could do this too if you want a little less code
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type'=> array( 'custom_post_type1', 'custom_post_type2'),
'posts_per_page' => '12',
'meta_key' => 'weekly_views',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
);
$args2 = array(
'post_type'=> array( 'band', 'artist'),
'posts_per_page' => '12',
'meta_key' => 'all_views',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
);
if ($query->post_count > 12) {
$query_args = $args;
}else if($query->post_count < 12){
$query_args = $args2;
}
$query = new WP_Query( $query_args );
while ($query -> have_posts()) : $query -> the_post();
//Code to show posts goes here
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
Im using a plugin to select featured post which uses 'pre_get_posts' to filter posts.It works fine in normal query_post() but it is not working inside ajax. Here is my code
<?php
add_action('wp_ajax_portscroll', 'portscroll');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_portscroll', 'portscroll');
function portscroll(){
?>
<?php
$offset_click= $_POST['data'];
$offset= 4+$offset_click*2;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'posts_per_page' => 2,
'featured' => 'yes',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'offset'=> $offset
);
$post_osrtfolios = query_posts($args);
if ($post_osrtfolios) :
foreach ($post_osrtfolios as $post_osrtfolio) :
///contents goes here
endforeach;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
} ?>
Everything works fine, query works fine but the parameter 'featured' => 'yes' is not working. This parameter is from plugin.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'posts_per_page' => 2,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_is_featured',
'value' => 'yes'
)
),
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'offset'=> $offset
);
Use this
I want skip every post that has no thumbnail. The code does not work properly yet.
Actually the script doesn't show posts without a thumbnail - that's good, but in the loop the post with no thumbnail is still counted as a post.
So when i have for example 10 posts in my wordpress database. I want show 5 of them. But only the posts who has a thumbnail.
<ul>
<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$my_posts = get_posts( $args );
global $post;
foreach( $my_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
if ( !has_post_thumbnail() ) {
continue;
} else {
?>
<li>
<div class="clearfix" >
<div class="thumb"><?php the_post_thumbnail('post-image-big'); ?></div>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<p class="category"><?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Try
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish' ,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_thumbnail_id',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => ''
)
)
);
or this if checking for an empty string didn't work for you
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish' ,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_thumbnail_id',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => null
)
)
);
How do I order post by a custom field if "releasedate" > "currentdate" but in acending order. Basically only display post with dates starting after today but in ascending order. currently i have
<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('showposts=10&post_type=movies&meta_key=releasedate_value&orderby=releasedate_value&order=ASC');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$currentdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")));
?>
<?php if ($releasedate > $currentdate) {?>
"my contents/ post here"
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
now everything works except when its ASC and not DSC, no post will display because wordpress in getting the post first and the erasing the post that are not before current date and only 10 post are allowed, therefore if 10 post has a release date before today, wordpress loads then erase them after and leaves everything blank! Thank you for your help
I'd put the date criteria into the query itself. Assuming you have WordPress version 3.1 or higher, you can use the meta_query parameter. Something like:
<?php
$currentdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")));
$wp_query = new WP_Query( array ('showposts' => 10,
'post_type' => 'movies',
'meta_query'=> array(
array(
'key' => 'releasedate_value',
'compare' => '>',
'value' => $currentdate,
'type' => 'DATE',
)),
'meta_key' => 'releasedate_value',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC'
)
);
should work.
This works with me too:
$currentdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")));
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'event',
'meta_key' => 'date_field',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'date_field',
'value' => $currentdate,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'DATE'
),
),
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
