I am designing my first theme and I am stuck on the search functionalities of a Custom Post Type.
I created a CPT ‘movies’ and created the archive page with the ‘archive-movies.php’ file in the root of the theme folder. Inside I created a basic WP_Query
In refactoring my code base I noticed there are two hooks that used for modifying the main query.
I’m trying to apply a Datefilter for specific categories.
So here is my problem
I want to show Posts if have same category if not have post then show post of same tag. And to do that I am using “pre_get_posts” action. and setting query like following.
I would like to show an archive of posts that have two taxonomy terms in common. So for example, I’d like to show all posts that have both the terms “sauce” and “cheese” in the custom food taxonomy.
I have a custom post type where the title is a name, and I want to sort the loop by the last word in title, the surname.
I was reading Stephen Harris‘s excellent answer to this question regarding the use of WP_query(), query_posts() and pre_get_posts.
I have done quite extensive research on how to use pre_get_posts on true pages and the static front pages, and it seems that there is no fool proof method.
I read @nacin’s You don’t know Query yesterday and was sent down a bit of a querying rabbit hole. Before yesterday, I was (wrongly) using query_posts() for all my querying needs. Now I’m a little bit wiser about using WP_Query(), but still have some gray areas.
And you’re then assigning this array as the query_vars. Now the query_vars is a pretty large object. And you’re basically overwriting the data in there and just adding your custom ones. This means that you ‘unset’ everything that is added per default.
