I have a problem, i have a custom type post (authors) and taxonomy (manager and team) called position
I need to get all authors of the team on a page and need the manager to be at the first one of them
the authors ordered by name but the manager name begin with "T"
what can I do with this situation.
my code is
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying auther custom type on custom taconomy position filterd By the page name and position name
* Template Name: taxonomies
*
*/
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit; // Exit if accessed directly
get_header(); ?>
<?php
// echo the $slug name of the page
$page_names = get_the_title(); ?>
<section id="articles" class="articles">
<div class="<?php echo $classcase ?>">
<?php
$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type'=>'authors','posts_per_page' => '-1','orderby' => 'title','order'=>'ASC' ) );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post( );
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'position' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
if($term->name == $page_names) { ?>
<div class="tax-container">
<a href="<?php the_permalink( );?>">
<div class="parent-before">
<img class="tax-img" src=" <?php the_post_thumbnail_url( ); ?> " data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>" />
<div class="tax-div-p" data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>">
<p class="tax-p" data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>"></p>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
<?php } } ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); endif; ?>
</div>
</section>
<div class='endauthors'></div>
For this task you need to use tax_query https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_tax_query/
First we take all managers sorted by title, then the entire team
Try this code
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying auther custom type on custom taconomy position filterd By the page name and position name
* Template Name: taxonomies
*
*/
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit; // Exit if accessed directly
get_header(); ?>
<?php
// echo the $slug name of the page
$page_names = get_the_title(); ?>
<section id="articles" class="articles">
<div class="<?php echo $classcase ?>">
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'authors',
'posts_per_page' => '-1',
'orderby' => 'title',
'order'=>'ASC'
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'position',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'manager' )
)
)
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post( );
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'position' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
if($term->name == $page_names) { ?>
<div class="tax-container">
<a href="<?php the_permalink( );?>">
<div class="parent-before">
<img class="tax-img" src=" <?php the_post_thumbnail_url( ); ?> " data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>" />
<div class="tax-div-p" data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>">
<p class="tax-p" data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>"></p>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
<?php } } ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); endif; ?>
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'authors',
'posts_per_page' => '-1',
'orderby' => 'title',
'order'=>'ASC'
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'position',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'team' )
)
)
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post( );
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'position' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
if($term->name == $page_names) { ?>
<div class="tax-container">
<a href="<?php the_permalink( );?>">
<div class="parent-before">
<img class="tax-img" src=" <?php the_post_thumbnail_url( ); ?> " data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>" />

<p class="tax-p" data-tool-tip="<?php the_title( );?>"></p>

</div>
</a>
</div>
<?php } } ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); endif; ?>
</div>
</section>
<div class='endauthors'></div>
This is my code here -
<div class="gallery-posts">
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'order' => 'ASC',
'numberposts' => 4
);
$product_posts = get_posts( $args );
?>
<?php foreach ( $product_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php $videos = rwmb_meta( '_video-link' );
foreach ( $videos as $video ); ?>
<div
class="card-container video-link"
data-link="<?php echo $video['src']; ?>"
title="<?php the_title(); ?>"
description="<?php echo ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_description', true ) ); ?>"
thumbnail-link="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url() ?>">
<figure class="gallery-image">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<div class="gallery-image-text">
<p><?php the_title() ?></p>
<i class="fas fa-play"></i>
</div>
</figure>
</div>
<?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
I want to set it up so that Next/Prev shows whenever there are more than 4 posts.
With the regular Word Press loop I know you can just do the_posts_pagination but that doesn't work here.
What needs to be added for pagination to work with this loop?
Change your code like this:
<div class="gallery-posts">
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'paged' => $paged
);
$product_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $product_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
$videos = rwmb_meta( '_video-link' );
foreach ( $videos as $video ):
?>
<div class="card-container video-link" data-link="<?php echo $video['src']; ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" description="<?php echo ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_description', true ) ); ?>" thumbnail-link="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url() ?>">
<figure class="gallery-image">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<div class="gallery-image-text">
<p><?php the_title() ?></p>
<i class="fas fa-play"></i>
</div>
</figure>
</div>
<?php
next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $product_posts->max_num_pages );
previous_posts_link( 'Next Entries ยป' );
wp_reset_postdata();
endforeach;
?>
</div>
Newbie here,
I'm trying to display the list of my post depends on the category. But it doesn't display my post. I tried the different type of array, but no luck. I named my page taxonomy-blog_category.php
I call the page via site.com/blog_category/category
here's my current code and I know I'm so close but can't figure it out.
Here is the array:
<div class="row">
<?php $ctr = 1;
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$custom_args = array(
'post_type' => 'blog_post',
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'paged' => $paged,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'blog-category',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('business','people','technology'),
),
),
);
Here is how I display the post
$custom_query = new WP_Query( $custom_args ); ?>
<?php if ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) : $custom_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="col-md-4 text-center">
<div class="content-container">
<div class="wrap">
<figure class="tint t2">
<img src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() ); ?>" width="317px" height="240">
</figure>
</div>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<h3>By <?php the_field('author'); ?> | <span><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span></h3>
<?php $content = get_field('content'); echo mb_strimwidth($content, 0, 200, '...');?>
<div class="read-more-btn">
read more
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php $ctr++; endwhile; ?>
I Don't know if this is necessary but here's my code for pagination:
<div class="pagination-holder">
<ul class="pagination">
<?php
if (function_exists(custom_pagination)) {
custom_pagination($custom_query->max_num_pages,"",$paged);
}
?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
Trying to order some posts I'm displaying on a single custom post type page with random, but they aren't random at all. :/
<?php
// Grab the taxonomy term slug for the current post
$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category-staff' );
if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) :
$draught_links = array();
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
$draught_links[] = $term->slug;
}
$on_draught = join( ", ", $draught_links );
?>
<div class="container hidden-xs">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<hr />
<h3 class="text-center">Other People At Our Great Resort</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1">
<div class="row staff-list">
<?php
// WP_Query arguments
$args2 = array (
'post_type' => 'staff',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category-staff',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $on_draught,
),
),
'nopaging' => false,
'posts_per_page' => '4',
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'rand',
);
// The Query
$query2 = new WP_Query( $args2 );
// The Loop
if ( $query2->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query2->have_posts() ) {
$query2->the_post(); ?>
<div class="staff staff-other col-sm-3 text-center">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $_post->ID, 'large', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive img-circle img-staff' ) ); ?>
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php if (get_field('staff_job')) { ?>
<p><?php the_field('staff_job'); ?></p>
<?php } ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php }
} else { ?>
<?php }
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; // terms if statement ?>
Turns out it was something to do with WPEngine. They disable rand() from the server and it needs to be enabled manually.
Another solution may be to add this code before running the new WP_Query($args) function.
remove_all_filters('posts_orderby');
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/remove_all_filters/
I'm going crazy here - I can't figure out why this doesn't work!
I have a wordpress template with multiple queries to show different post types.
I am able to do this no problem:
$showfeatposts = "1";
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $showfeatposts,
'orderby' => 'post_date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => '58',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
);
Which passses the value of "1" into the 'numberposts' variable.
What I NEED to do is instead replace that value of "1" with a value passed from a custom field in the admin panel so that the administrator can enter the number of posts they want to show.
When I change my code instead to this:
$showarticleposts = the_field('articles-posts-to-show');
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $showarticleposts,
'orderby' => "post_date",
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => '5, -58',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
);
I get all posts returned, as if the value being entered is '-1'
I've verified that the actual value in the custom field is '2' by enchoing it on the page.
What am I doing wrong? Surely this should be possible?
For reference: Here's the page.
ETA: I've also tried this method from an ACF tutorial - still doesn't work:
$args = array(
'numberposts' => get_field('showarticleposts'),
'orderby' => "post_date",
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => '5, -58',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
ETA2: In response to the answer below - I have also tried this option:
$showarticleposts = get_field('showarticleposts');
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $showarticleposts,
'orderby' => "post_date",
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => '5, -58',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
);
And if I put this code on the page - it does echo the number '2':
<?php echo get_field('showarticleposts'); ?>
Per request - here is the full page of code - I have tried to clean it up as much as possible - you will undoubtably notice the weird coding for the reports section, I am taking this over from someone who used Types to create the custom fields and custom post types. But I am using ACF custom fields for my attempt to add the ability to choose how many of each post-type to show on the homepage:

the_field(), by definition, will echo out the value of the field onto the page and NOT store it inside a variable... instead you want to do this:
$showarticleposts = get_field('articles-posts-to-show');
$args = array(
'numberposts' => $showarticleposts,
'orderby' => "post_date",
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => '5, -58',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'suppress_filters' => true
);
To make sure it's getting what you want, do: var_dump( $showarticleposts ); and see if a 2, as you claim it should be, is being dumped on the page. Your third example "should" work, but you are using a different "field" name in each of your examples, so it's hard to tell if 'showarticleposts' or 'articles-posts-to-show' is the actual field name.
UPDATE
Since looking at your code... I have noticed that you are using setup_postdata( $post );. While this is a great thing to use, it's changing your global $post variable, and therefore when you call get_field() it is using the $post->ID of the "changed" $post variable, which is not what you want. You want the original $post->ID of the page you are currently viewing. So, simply add wp_reset_postdata(); after every custom loop you've created and it should fix the issue.
UPDATE 2
Since you mention it is STILL not working, the only other thing I can think of is to set a variable to the original page id at the very top of the page...
$current_page_id = get_the_ID();
Then when you call get_field(), include that id:
$showarticleposts = get_field( 'articles-posts-to-show', $current_page_id );
