Archive posts by tag or meta value plus add pagination

This certainly should be possible, but might require a fair amount of coding. Email me at mac =at= mcdspot =dot= com to discuss.

Thanks for replying.

I figured out a way to use a custom taxonomy for the Series.
Here

If I want to list all the Series names, the only way I know to do that is by using:

wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy'=>'sermonseries' , 'format'=>'list',
'smallest'  => 12,
'largest'  => 12) );

Is there a way to paginate the wp_tag_cloud results?

Would I need to look into wp_query for a custom query in order to make this work?

I can’t seem to find many posts on paginating wp_tag_cloud or wp_list_categries results.

Thanks again!

You can change the wp_tag_cloud call slightly to return an array:

$tags = wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy'=>'sermonseries' , 'format'=>'array',
'smallest'  => 12,
'largest'  => 12,
'echo' => false) );

Then you can use paginate_links() to paginate the $tags array.

Sample code for paginate_links:

// Test the use of paginate_links

$rows_per_page = 7;
$current = (intval(get_query_var('paged'))) ? intval(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

$rows = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'");

global $wp_rewrite;

$pagination_args = array(
   	'base' => @add_query_arg('paged','%#%'),
   	'format' => '',
   	'total' => ceil(sizeof($rows)/$rows_per_page),
   	'current' => $current,
   	'show_all' => false,
   	'type' => 'plain',
);

if( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() )
   $pagination_args['base'] = user_trailingslashit( trailingslashit( remove_query_arg('s',get_pagenum_link(1) ) ) . 'page/%#%/', 'paged');

if( !empty($wp_query->query_vars['s']) )
   $pagination_args['add_args'] = array('s'=>get_query_var('s'));

echo paginate_links($pagination_args);

$start = ($current - 1) * $rows_per_page;
$end = $start + $rows_per_page;
$end = (sizeof($rows) < $end) ? sizeof($rows) : $end;

echo '<br />';
for ($i=$start;$i < $end ;++$i ) {
   $row = $rows[$i];
   echo "I:$i  ID:{$row->ID}  Title:{$row->post_title} <br />";

}

Cool thanks!
I’ll give it shot.

I ended up creating a custom query like:

$query = "SELECT * FROM wp_terms,wp_term_taxonomy WHERE wp_terms.term_id=wp_term_taxonomy.term_id AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy='sermonseries'";

And I used This easy PHP pagination code for the paging.

However, I will still try to implement your code.

Thanks again!
