Hi Tom and team
Is there a way to create one ‘show posts’ to include multiple post types – for example, ‘posts’ and a few cpts?
Was thinking of using the Flint Skin Dispatch front page as a bit of a template/inspiration (on the Generate Press site library), but wanted to know if there was a way to mix in some cpts to the display.
Many thanks for any help and ideas. Just renewed GP and an amazed at the value.
Cheers
Mike
Ps apologies if I’ve missed anything obvious.
Hi Mike,
It’s possible, but it’ll take some tweaking.
Make this change in your
wp-show-posts.phpfile: https://github.com/tomusborne/wp-show-posts/commit/286caf1164db8b6b6f38b85d3a011b519a27f4deThen you can do this:
add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) { if ( 123 === $settings['list_id'] ) { $args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'another-type', 'one-more' ); } return $args; }, 10, 2 );You just need to update
123with the ID of the list.Hi Tom,
I’m trying to get posts and pages to display and I used the following code:
add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) { if ( 93689 === $settings['list_id'] ) { $args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'page' ); } return $args; }, 10, 2 );I get this error in the logs:
Error: Too few arguments to function {closure}(), 1 passed in /public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287 and exactly 2 expected in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/php/snippet-ops.php(446) : eval()'d code:1 Stack trace: #0 /public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): {closure}() #1 /public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(206): WP_Hook->apply_filters() #2 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-show-posts/wp-show-posts.php(383): apply_filters() #3 /public_html/wp-content/themes/ckyf-divi/category-cours-kriya-yoga.php(8): wpsp_display()93689 is my list ID.
The page blanks out where the shortcode should appear. If I remove the code snippet, the shortcode works (with posts only). Is there something else I should do?
Thanks,
MattIt looks like $settings is never used: if I remove it from the function arguments and remove the number of arguments, it works but it means all shortcodes will have this condition ( posts and pages).
Hi there,
You need to use the latest development version: https://wpshowposts.com/wp-show-posts-1-2-0/
Let me know 🙂
Hello,
I am trying to achieve something similar. I am trying to get one list to show new posts + events from “The Events Calendar”. I already checked that they work fine in a list by themselves.
I just can’t get it working. I started by trying to make the PHP change you mentioned here: https://github.com/tomusborne/wp-show-posts/commit/286caf1164db8b6b6f38b85d3a011b519a27f4de
At this time I had WP Show Posts 1.1.3 active + WP Show Posts Pro 1.0.0. The I added the line to Code Snippets, and changed the list number + post type name.add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) { if ( 16270 === $settings['list_id'] ) { $args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'tribe_events' ); } $query = new WP_Query( apply_filters( 'wpsp_query_args', $args, $settings ) ); return $args; }, 10, 2 );Nothing changed. The list still only showed posts?
Then I installed WPSP 1.2.0-alpha.3 and went back to wp-show-posts.php and searched for the query line. I found this:
// phpcs:ignore -- Filter kept for backward compatibility. $args = apply_filters( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', $args, $settings );So I guess no changes needed there because the settings parameter is already added? But still nothing. The list still only shows posts. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, will this code pull all posts from these two post types, or could you also still require a tag?
Hi Joon,
WPSP 1.1.3 doesn’t have
wp_show_posts_shortcode_args‘s $settings . The change was required so you could target a specific list_id with$settings['list_id'].IF you’re using 1.2.0, you don’t have to do that modification as Tom already added it in.
As for the filter usage:
Also, will this code pull all posts from these two post types, or could you also still require a tag?
You don’t need to include this line:
$query = new WP_Query( apply_filters( 'wpsp_query_args', $args, $settings ) );And yes it will pull posts from the 2 post_types specified. You don’t need to include a tag but you can if you want to specify the query even more.
Ok, I just wanted to provide some background. Right now I am actually using 1.2.0.
But for some reason I can’t get it to work.
Here is the code I added to code snippets. The WP Show Posts list number “16270” is correct, I double-checked it. The post types I want to show in the list are posts, pages and one CPT called “hanke”.
add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) { if ( 16270 === $settings['list_id'] ) { $args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'page', 'hanke' ); } return $args; }, 10, 2 );The list still only shows posts… What can I be doing wrong??
Try it like this:
add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) { if(16270 === (int)$settings['list_id']){ $args['post_type'] = array('post','page','hanke'); } return $args; }, 15, 2 );Great!! Thank you so much. That fixed it. 🙂
If I would like to include a tag to specify the query even more, how would I go about it?
Check the codex for parameters:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#tag-parametersYou can use
tagortag__independing on specificity.Example:
add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) { if(16270 === (int)$settings['list_id']){ $args['post_type'] = array('post','page','hanke'); $args['tag'] = 'cats'; } return $args; }, 15, 2 );
