Too few arguments error

Oops, this plugin hasn’t been updated in 7 years haha. Line 277 of wp-snap.php should be removed for php 7 and any more recent versions of WP.

If you wish to apply the posts_request filters to the query before executing, you will have to rewrite the plugin because it is using $wpdb and not WP_Query. WP_Query is the second parameter of of the posts_request filter and if any other code is passing in the second parameter, you will likely get a fatal error in wp-snap.

I’ve been using this plugin for years, and I’m expecting it to die one day, but it’s integral to the site I use it on (if it stops working, I may have to switch to Drupal to achieve the same thing, which seems excessive…). I keep hoping someone will take up the mission of updating it, but that seems increasingly unlikely. I should try to learn more php and do it myself, but that may be an equally unlikely occurrence.

Thanks for the information. Maybe I can keep it going a little longer!

I only briefly looked at this for a client that is using it on a not very active part of their site. WP Snap was a decent plugin, but to create something similar is extremely easy with a custom query:

$first_char = ‘B’;
$second_char = $first_char;
if(ctype_upper($first_char)){
$second_char = strtolower($first_char);
}else{
$second_char = strtoupper($first_char);
}

global $post;

$cposts = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE SUBSTR($wpdb->posts.post_title,1,1) = %s || SUBSTR($wpdb->posts.post_title,1,1) = %s ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_title”, $first_char, $second_char));

if($cposts){
foreach($cposts as $post){
setup_postdata($post);
the_title();
echo ‘<br/>’;
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}

I only just noticed your custom-query reply today, aryanduntley. Thanks. I might give it a try when I have a moment!
