With this tutorial, we will create a shortcode that will return the results of a WordPress query.

We will be creating a add_shortcode shortcode that will contain the shortcode name and function as parameters.
With this example, we will call a query for a Video post type sorted by number of likes.

We edited the get option inside the shortcode if you have options. Then we run the new WP_Query.

With this tutorial, we will learn how to create a WP Query which will return the number of posts published or edited during the last 2 days.

With this query, we will ping the Post Type and the results will display the Post Type counter published/edited in the last 2 days.

With our example, the post type is crasyphotosgalleries.
We will add two arguments with the date_query: the first one will check the post_date and/or the post_modified of the last 2 days.

With a function we will return the results within a WordPress shortcode.

You can use the following shortcode in your content:

You can use the following shortcode in your templates:

With this tutorial, we will create new WordPress functions which will get the quantity of posts or post types by user role.
In the example below, the role will be chroniqueur. If we want to add a new user role, we need a new function such as the function below. Make sure to assign users to your roles if necessary.

And then we need to query the database by checking how many posts or post types are associated with the user. Within the function, we need to set the role with the user; you can replace news_writer by author for example.

With this function, we will stock the variable used to query the database for the post or post type parameter.$post_type

Now we will create a shortcode that will return the value of the function above. For example our shortcode will be: [chroniqueurchahutcount]

For our example, the shortcode will return the quantity of chahuts post type which will match the chroniqueur user.

Add your [chroniqueurchahutcount] shortcode in your template or your formidable form.

Be careful as this tutorial will generate the result for a user connected with their user_id (current_user).

With this tutorial, we will create a query which will display posts or post types of an author. This could be used in a scenario where a user wants to see their ads on an online classified advertising service.

First off, you must know that the author.php template could fill our need, however this is will be to create a more custom result.

First off, if not already done, you’ll need to create a template page in English.

Once the template is ready to go, you will be able to add your query to it and create your loop. For that, we will use the get_posts function to display our results.

In the example below, we have a news post type that displays this template which displays a user’s published news post.
Simply replace News by your post type. You will then be able to edit the arguments such as pagination, etc…

With this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use a query with the database so that it displays posts or Post Types that were published during any given month.

The get_posts is a great tool to search within a database but it can restrict the usable parameters. It can simplifies queries in any page template.

It also allows us to display a number of results via the post_per_page without pagination. We will need to make sure to close our query with
wp_reset_postdata();.

In our example below, we’ve configured posts_per_page to -1 because we want to display the current month only. Our Post Type is viavideos, so either replace it by your or ‘post’ for articles.

As you can see, we need to stock two different variables in the dates which represent the current month and year. Then with our parameters we need to do a date_query and add our two date parameters.

And then we close the loop to display our results.

With this tutorial, we will show you how to display the articles liked by a user in their account. We need to create a query that will display the posts with the post meta “like” and its value are equal to the WordPress user’s ID.

Obviously, to be make this function works, we need a Like system so users can like posts such as this one: WordPress Post Like System

You also need a user account and do not forget the conditions in the user’s profile page.

In their user account, we will display the list of recently liked post. This create this query, we fist need to fetch the user’s ID with get_current_user_id() via WordPress’ get_currentuserinfo(). Next, the $types variable with fetch the required Post Type (In our example it’s Listings. Simply replace it by your Post Type or article post). We will display 10 and then we’ll run a meta_query that will match the author’s ID and the post meta key.

Now we will loop. We implement an incremented ranking with $i. Here’s our query:
(The user_liked key must be changed by your post meta key representing the Like)

Display number of posts per author: With this tutorial, we will create a simply query that will allow you to display the number of posts per author on your author.php template.

In order to do so, we will use the count user posts WordPress function.

We will take this example and tailor it to our query. First, we need to configure global $authordata; to fetch the authors’ data. And then in a variable, we will use the author ID along with count_user_posts with our arguments.

In our example, our Post Type is called produits-listings.

Finally, the number of Post Type per author will be displayed within your author.php template. Nice and easy.

Display Posts with an Post Meta Key empty: With this tutorial, we will create a query that will allow you to display WordPress Posts or Post Types even if they have an empty Post Meta.

With our example, we created a query that will check the viavideos Post Type and link it to Post Meta Key. You can add additional arguments if need be. We will use the showposts to display the quantity.

Here’s the code to add into your template or other and tailor it to your query with meta_query this way:

Don’t forget to update the Post Type and your Post Meta Key.

This tutorial will show you how to create a query to display all of your WooCommerce products.

First a quick explaination of found_posts which can be seen in the query below. It will allow you to filter the number of products found and matching the Posts ou Post Types inside your arguments.

For everything else, it’s a simple and basic query for WooCommerce. The post for WooCommerce products is simply called product.

Here’s how we can avoid multiplying your functions if you want to use the same function but you want to display the number of product by status:
Here are the various post_status of your posts or Post Types:
– ‘publish’ == Published
– ‘Future’ == Scheduled
– ‘Draft’ == Draft
– ‘Pending’ == Pending Review
– ‘Private’ == Private
– ‘Trash’ == Deleted

Now let’s build the previous function considering we want to display the number of products and their status.

Here’s the function to add in your functions.php file. Note that we stored a $statut variable that will allow us to fetch the value that we want to assign to it. Said value is display as such: ‘post_status’ => $statut.

Now in the desired WordPress php template file, display the function this way:

With this WordPress tutorial, we will create a query that will allow you to exclude the current ID from your Post Type.

In our example, we already have a Post Type called Services. Let’s say we want to consult one of our services, WordPress will get the data from the single-services.php file and if WordPress doesn’t find this file, it will call single.php.

If you don’t have a single-posttype.php file (Ex:single-services.php), make sure to create it if you want to be able to customize it with HTML and CSS.

Once your file is ready, let’s add our Query Post Type in our sidebar DIV by excluding the current post ID.

The first line, $i = 1;, will allow you to increment by 1 and starting from 1. This means we wil count by number the query order of your services. So if your loop, you can display the sorting number this way:

In our second line of our Query Post Type, we will store the current ID in a variable in order to exclude it with post_not_in (‘post__not_in’ => array($currentID)).

Reference: get_the_ID();
This will display the results of your Post Type in the sidebar except the current page.
