Here is the situation, I have a custom tax called Skill. I want to be able to display posts only with skill set as Japanese from English.
I am trying to learn how to use pre_get_posts hook to modify my get_posts query. Here is my example, however I land with the error:
Notice: Undefined variable: postdata
This is what I have tried based on research:
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpshout_fundraiser_recent_posts' );
function wpshout_fundraiser_recent_posts( $query ) {
// Fetch only posts tagged with "Japanese from English"
$taxquery = array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'Japanese from English',
'field' => 'skill',
'terms' => array( 'skill' ),
)
);
$query->set( 'tax_query', $taxquery );
I am sure something is wrong with the above query, which I don't fully understand. Any help and please explain what each field of the array is for if possible.
Try this below code this should work,
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpshout_fundraiser_recent_posts' );
function wpshout_fundraiser_recent_posts( $query ) {
$posts_array = get_posts(
array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'Your Post Type Name',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'Japanese from English',
'field' => 'skill',
'terms' => array( 'skill' ),
)
)
)
);
return $posts_array;
}
Here you can check:
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'post_type' => 'Post Type Name',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category_taxonomy',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => "Category Name"
)));
$query = query_posts( $args );
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
$posts_array = get_posts(
array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'post_type_name',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'taxonomy-name',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => $cat->term_id,
)
)
)
);
