Main loop problem parameters

Hi,

You can add 'posts_per_page' => -1 to your query_posts like this:

query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1) );

Thanks,

yes, i know, but i need to select not infinte post. I need to include only some post ID too.

Could you send your code to make your request easier to understand?

If query_post doesn’t work then you might need to set global $post to be query_post like this:
global $post = query_post( $args );

it doesn’t work. I explain.

My loop load the most near (20km) geotagged post of today. If there are not enough posts near, then load the not near one to complete the get_option(‘post_per_page’) (set in reading settings).

So my loop.php do that:

– get the id of all post near
– if not enough add other id/ids (more recent)
– all the id are in array
– use post__in => the array of id in main loop to alter it, but doesn’t work.
PS: the array is filled correctly, so is a problem of loop

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post__in' => $near_post,
	'category__in' => array(1)
);
query_posts($args);

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
etc. ....

If the query is correct then the loop should work.

If there are not enough posts near, then load the not near one to complete the get_option(‘post_per_page’)

Are you using a query like this?

$args = array(
	'post__in' => $posts,
        'geotag' => 'near'
);

Then the two conditions AND together – not OR together. So this would return no posts unless the posts in $posts are also near.

If that’s not the problem, then posting as much code as possible would be really helpful.

Hi, I means. Now i’ll tell you a thing that will make u scream. The same problem happen with a custom wp_query like this in home page.

$args2 = array(
				'post_type' => 'post',
				'post__not_in' => $near_post,
				'post_per_page' => $less,
				'category__in' => array(1)
			);
			$my_query2 = new wp_query( $args2 );
			while( $my_query2->have_posts() ){
				$my_query2->the_post();
				$near_post[] = get_the_ID();
			}

This query, customized and not related to main loop query, has the same problem: – post_per_page number is related to the main loop query.

So the problem that i think is that EVERY query loaded (query post o simple wp_query) loaded in index.php (the home page) has some parameters that can’t be overwrite like post_per_page and post__in.

This is my idea, but it is very strange. However, returning to your post, the array is filled correctly (i printed the value of array). The problem i’m 100% sure is in the home page, where its loop can’t be overwritten.

Means, i think that every loop loaded in the home page have some parameters that can’t be overwritten. Every loop, every kind.

If i set up a custom wp_query, the problem is the same. Seems that there is a upper “god” query which parameters can’t be rewrite.

Very strange…. And I’m loosing hairs for this XD

The following code works:

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
);
query_posts($args);
while (have_posts())  {
  the_post();
  the_title();
}
wp_reset_postdata();

$args = array(
  'post__in' => array(1)
);
query_posts($args);
while (have_posts())  {
  the_post();
  the_title();
}
wp_reset_postdata();

You might need to post your code if you’d like someone to fix it.

it doesn’t work, so i post the complete code of loop.php. I remeber the problem i’m asking for: “Some parameters like post__in and post_per_page seems to be overwritten by the main homepage wordpress loop”

All the code is correct ($near_post has all elements id, the problem is really in the query, but can’t understand what is it)

Hi! I found the solution! Everything is in this topic: Solution

However my idea is that the index page has some parameters like posts_per_page that can’t be overwrite, a custom wp_query() can’t do it too.

With post__in the problem was that i’ve had to order the post for the post__in like ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’, else it show post from the newest to oldest.
