I've added mentionId field on wp_posts table on MySQL.
Now, I need to make a query that; "get posts by mentionId" but couldn't make it with get_posts() function on WordPress.
Here is my example code.
'posts_per_page' => $_GET["end"]-$_GET["start"],
'offset' => $_GET["start"],
'orderby' => 'ID',
'sort_order' => 'desc',
'meta_key' => 'mentionId',
'meta_value' => '40243'
How to include that extra field?
I suggest you to not to touch the database by adding new fields or tables because you may loose your changes when you update your Wordpress core. The meta_key are located at the wp_termmeta table (not recommended to touch!). I suggest you to install ACF Plugin where you can add meta_key values and create a custom query out of it.

I have a custom post type called BID which contains a user's bids (similar to freelancer.com, upwork, etc) However I need the BID results on the page to be ordered by meta stored in a users profile, which is a custom post type PROFILE.
How would I go about doing this?
Here is my current Query
WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => array(BID, PROFILE),
'post_parent' => get_the_ID(),
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_key' => 'rating_score',
'post_status' => array('publish','complete', 'accept', 'unaccept')
)
);
I don't know of a way to do this with WP_Query alone so I'd probably write some extra PHP to do this. I'm not sure exactly how things are set up so I can't write code, but here's the general idea.
Generate your bid results without paying much attention to how they are ordered.
Loop through your generated query result and, for each item, define a new attribute that fetches the meta information from the corresponding profile meta.
Order your array using this new meta information. You might be able to use PHP's sort() function, or if you need a more general function, try usort()
I have multiple post types - 'news', 'events' and 'others'. I want to combine them in one query - sorted by the date of creation. At the moment the following query provides the result:
query_posts( array(
'post_type' => array('news', 'events', 'others'),
'showposts' => 4,
'order' => 'DESC'
) );
The post type 'events' have a custom field which is called 'cf_date'. This field contains the date of the event. The posts of the post type 'events' should first appear 10 days before the start. How is it possible, that the events can be created flexible and will be displayed (added to the query) 10 days before the event?
Thank you for your help!
Create a template named archive-events.php, copying the existing archive.php in your theme. Inside the loop, insert your test for the date, using get_post_meta on the date field. Set the template on Page Attributes to the name you used for archive-events.php.
I'm trying to get 4 posts in order by 'pageviews' from a plugin named Wordpress Popular posts. I found in phpmyadmin where it stores the page views per post. My problem is that the values for 'pageviews' for the post is not in the wp_postmeta but in a separate table: wp_popularpostdata and named pageviews. Please help :)
phpmyadmin
from wp_popularpostdata
postid | pageviews
..1..............14
the code below I'm trying returns nothing
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'meta_key' => pageviews,
'orderby' => meta_value_num,
'order' => DESC,
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
You could use the built-in function wpp_get_mostpopular as explained here:
if (function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular'))
wpp_get_mostpopular("range=weekly&order_by=comments");
If it isn't sufficient to you, you'll have to alter the query through wordpress filters like posts_join, posts_where and etc. The docs should help you to find the way.
I want to get post by get_post order by meta_value_num and meta keys , I tried this code:
get_posts(
array( 'post_type' => 'posts',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_query' => array(
array('key' => 'class'),
array('key' => 'chair')
)
)
);
I want to get the post sort by class's number then chair's number .
but htis code not working how can this be done?
Although the new orderby parameter is great in WP_Query, it does not support multiple orderby for multiple meta_key's.
I've went through a couple of scenarios and even went and digged into trac and make and came up with the following
make.wordpress.org A more powerful orderby in wordpress 4.0
trac ticket #17065
None of the issues regarding this very problem have been answered. It also seems from those two links that there is an issue ordering by a meta_key and another field like post date for instance. I haven't tried this as yet.
I truelly think that you have two choices here without creating two queries.
hack using the posts_orderby filter as described by #s_ha_dum in his answer here
By making use of PHP ordering using usort. The idea here would be to sort your query by one meta_key and then take the returned posts array ($posts) and sort them by the second meta_key before the loop starts. You can either use the the_posts filter (just remember to remove the filter once done) or simply unset $posts in your template and set it with the reordered array of posts once done
I am implementing this plugin ZillaLikes http://www.themezilla.com/plugins/zillalikes/ which is great plugin allows people to 'love' my posts. I want to be able to now sort by those that are liked.
I have read through the documentation of sorting wordpress posts which is fine but cant work out how to do it with the associated likes?
Haven't tested this. But it should be possible to order by meta_key _zilla_likes
new WP_Query( array(
'meta_key' => '_zilla_likes',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num'
));
