pre_get_posts

    Hi:

    I am trying to get a category main query to include another category. It seems that cat_ID is set in the $query object and there seems to be no way to alter it. What I really want to do is alter or set the main query to all posts when it is set to a category.

    Any ideas? This is my last try!

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'hfo_modify_alter_insights_to_all' );
// Modify the current query
function hfo_modify_alter_insights_to_all( $query ) {
	// Check if on frontend and main query is modified
	if (!$query->is_main_query() || is_admin()) return;
	if ($query->is_category && is_category(1)) {
		   $taxquery = array(
				array(
					'taxonomy' => 'category',
					'field' => 'term_id',
					'terms' =>  array(7) ,
				)
			);

		$query->set('tax_query', $taxquery);
	}
    return $query;
}

    Thanks, Willy

    Hi:

    Got it. I was so close. 13 is the category I wanted to include.

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'hfo_modify_alter_insights_to_all' );
// Modify the current query
function hfo_modify_alter_insights_to_all( $query ) {
	// Check if on frontend and main query is modified
	if (!$query->is_main_query() || is_admin()) return;
	if ($query->is_category && is_category(1)) {
		   $taxquery = array(
				'relation'=>'OR',
				array(
					'taxonomy' => 'category',
					'field' => 'term_id',
					'terms' =>  array(13) ,
				)
			);

		$query->set('tax_query', $taxquery);
	}
    return $query;
}

    Thanks, HTH, Willy
