WP 2.6 get_posts

query_posts does indeed support meta_key and meta_value in 2.6. So does the WP_Query method.

In fact, get_posts is just using WP_Query now. It’s no longer any different. So switch already.

Hm, how then i should use it?
Such code doesnt work:

query_posts('cat=1&metakey=video&meta_value=1&post_type=post&offset=1&numberposts=2&post_status=publish&orderdy=date&order=desc');
				while(have_posts())
				{
					the_post();

Anyways, i know how to fix it to make work for me.

wp-includes/query.php
line 1022:
$q['category__in'] = array_merge($q['category__in'], get_term_children($cat, 'category'));

Just comment it and you will get directly what you asked for.

“metakey” is not the same as “meta_key”. Spelling is important here…

Also, using category__and instead of cat might be more what you’re looking for. Better than hacking the core code.

well. Good idea, but still not work:

query_posts('cat='.$cat->cat_ID.'&meta_key=video&metavalue=1&post_type=post&offset=1&showposts=2&post_status=publish&orderdy=date&order=desc');
				while(have_posts())
				{
					the_post();

Such code still give me cat and subcats posts.

Yes, because the “cat” parameter gives the children as well.

And you misspelled “meta_value” this time.

Did you read what I posted about using category__and instead? Might be worth looking closer at that.

Also, the array thing you were doing earlier with get_posts will work just as well with query_posts too. No need to do all that string work.

Thank you man for your help.

Well, meta_value just was misspelled here, it works now.
well, such code gives me 2nd and 3rd record i belive:

$args = array(
				'post_type' => 'post',
				'category' => $cat->cat_ID,
				'offset' => 1,
				'showposts' => 2,
				'post_status' => 'publish',
				'orderby' => 'date',
				'order' => 'DESC',
				'meta_key' => 'video',
				'meta_value' => 1);

				query_posts($args);

Something else i can do?

And even ‘category__and’ & ‘category__’ gives same (2nd and 3rd record).

‘category’ => $cat->cat_ID,

…

Did you even try 'category__and' => array($cat->cat_ID) at all?

Wow. It finally works. Big thanks for you!

Does anyone know where the function for $args sits? I am trying to figure out how to get the images/attachments to order based on the order I give them in the admin.
Currently they remain in the order they were uploaded even if I re-order them by dragging and dropping in the admin.

I am wondering if it has something to do with ORDER BY in the mySQL call – and perhaps that call is done somewhere in a function related to $args?

maybe it has something to do with this:
attachment->menu_order

About a minute ago it WAS showing the order of the images as they are in the admin. Now they just show up as 0 for every post. I can’t see anything that has changed since.

Got it!

I used a for loop and then checked against current Post Number using attachment->menu_order

if ($currentAttachmentNum == $attachment->menu_order){
