Change slug in your post type arguments to products/%product_cat%, and slug in your taxonomy arguments to just products, then flush your rewrite rules. WordPress should now handle /products/my-product-cat/post-name/! Now finally, we need to help WordPress a little with generating permalinks (out of the box, it won’t recognise the permastruct tag %product_cat%): /** * Inject term … Read more
No, it is not possible to order by taxonomy, because from a certain type of standpoint, that doesn’t actually make much sense. Taxonomies are ways to group things together. So the point of having a taxonomy on posts would really be to have terms in that taxonomy that are shared between posts. If a taxonomy … Read more
You can wrap your javascript inside a self-invoking function, then pass jQuery as an argument to it, using $ as the local variable name. For example: (function($) { $(document).ready(function(){ $(“ul.vimeo_desc_feed li a”).click(function(){ alert($(this).attr(‘href’)); return false; }) }); }(jQuery)); should work as intended. If I remember correctly the WP-supplied version of jQuery (the one you get … Read more
Taxonomies, as previously described are a collective noun for the following category post_tag post_format link_category custom taxonomy The first four are built-in taxonomies, while custom taxonomies are taxonomies that are manually created by the user with register_taxonomy. Custom Taxonomies can be hierarchical (like the build-in taxonomy category) or not (like post tags) The categories and … Read more
@Insanity5902: Deployment of a WordPress site from one box to another has been a PITA since day one I started working with WordPress. (Truth-be-told it was a PITA with Drupal for 2 years before I started with WordPress so the problem is certainly not exclusively with WordPress.) It bothered me that every time I needed … Read more
First, register your taxonomy and set the slug argument of rewrite to shows: register_taxonomy( ‘show_category’, ‘show’, array( ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘shows’, ‘with_front’ => false ), // your other args… ) ); Next, register your post type and set the slug to shows/%show_category%, and set has_archive argument to shows: register_post_type( ‘show’, array( ‘rewrite’ => … Read more
You need a custom walker for the nav menu. Basically, you add a parameter ‘walker’ to the wp_nav_menu() options and call an instance of an enhanced class: wp_nav_menu( array ( ‘menu’ => ‘main-menu’, ‘container’ => FALSE, ‘container_id’ => FALSE, ‘menu_class’ => ”, ‘menu_id’ => FALSE, ‘depth’ => 1, ‘walker’ => new Description_Walker ) ); The … Read more
Well what a coincidence that you ask this, Jan! Just today I had time on a long train journey and decided to write a Rewrite Analyzer plugin, one that parses your rewrite rules and highlights the query variables. You can test URLs right there and see what query variables will be set. You can find … Read more
I’ve run into this problem with PageNavi before. My solution is to hijack the $wp_query variable temporarily and then reassign it after closing the loop. An exmaple: <?php $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $args=array( ‘post_type’=>’post’, ‘cat’ => 6, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘paged’=>$paged ); $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query($args); /* … Read more
After combining a bunch of pieces of other answers I got it working! So here’s the solution for those of you who are struggling with this too: This post and this one helped me out some, so thanks to those guys. Note, all this code, plus your initial custom post type and taxonomy registration code … Read more
I would start with this question: Is the functionality related to presentation of content, or with generation/management of content, or of the site, or of the user identity? If the functionality is not related specifically to presentation of content, then it is squarely within Plugin Territory. This list is long: Modifying core WP filters (wp_head … Read more
Your actual question is basically when to run a custom query and when to make use of the main query. Lets break it down in three parts PART ONE When to run a custom query (This is not a definitive list) To create custom content sliders To create a featured content area in a page … Read more
Add define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); to your site’s wp-config.php. That will cause errors, warnings, and notices (non-fatal warnings) to print to the screen. Those are the “debug information” so frequently requested. It is not advisable to have this enabled on a production (publicly accessible) server but if you have to have the debugging information then you have … Read more
The Problem By default, in any given context, WordPress uses the main query to determine pagination. The main query object is stored in the $wp_query global, which is also used to output the main query loop: if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); When you use a custom query, you create … Read more
You are right to say: Never use query_posts anymore pre_get_posts pre_get_posts is a filter, for altering any query. It is most often used to alter only the ‘main query’: add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’wpse50761_alter_query’); function wpse50761_alter_query($query){ if( $query->is_main_query() ){ //Do something to main query } } (I would also check that is_admin() returns false – though this may be … Read more
