It is needed to add “WPCF-” before the name slug.

function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {

$query->set(‘orderby’, ‘meta_value’);
$query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘wpcf-fecha’);
$query->set(‘meta_type’, ‘date’);
$query->set(‘order’, ‘ASC’);

// return
return $query;

}

add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_pre_get_posts’);

The best option is not to create a Div for each “line”, so it is not needed to open-close en each line.

THE MAIN ISSUE: It is needed to add “WPCF-” before the custom field slug.

@quinini have a view on this post please.

Im having the same issue with a field where I add a Spotify embed code. Here I have the same issue with Wikiloc embed code. Could it be related with html code inserctions in text custom fields?

Thanks! Here the result:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS lm_posts.ID FROM lm_posts WHERE 1=1 AND lm_posts.post_type = ‘programada’ AND (lm_posts.post_status = ‘publish’) ORDER BY lm_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

It seems that it is not ordering by date custom field instead it is using post_date. No idea where is the issue…any advice?

Hi @bcworkz! Im back to this issue.

Here my functions.php as it is right now:

<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'foundation-css-framework'; // This is 'foundation-css-framework' child theme.

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'clubcotacero',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}

function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
         
        $query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');   
        $query->set('meta_key', 'fecha');   
        $query->set('order', 'ASC'); 
        
    // return
    return $query;

}

/*add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_pre_get_posts');*/

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

And here my archive.php file:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying archive pages
 *
 * @link https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/
 *
 * @package Foundation_CSS_framework
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area large-12 medium-8 small-12 cell grid-x">
		<main id="main" class="site-main">

		<?php
		if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

			<header class="page-header large-12 cell">
				<h1 class="page-title"> Activdades Programadas </h1>
				<?php
					the_archive_description( '<div class="archive-description">', '</div>' );
				?>
			</header><!-- .page-header -->

			<?php
			/* Start the Loop */

			/* Mirando el resultado de la busqueda */
			
			/**/

			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

				/*
				 * Llamamos a nuestro propio content solo para listas
				 */

				get_template_part( 'template-parts/content-programada-lista', get_post_format() );

			endwhile;

			the_posts_navigation();

		else :

			get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );

		endif; ?>

		</main><!-- #main -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();

I tryed to paste in the code your line:
<?php echo get_queried_object()->request;

But obviously it is not a “copy/paste” solution. I have this:
Notice: Undefined property: WP_Post_Type::$request in C:\xampp\htdocs\testeo\wp-content\themes\clubcotacero\archive-programada.php on line 42

So I assume I have to change “->request”. Could you please shed some light on this? It would be really appreciated.

Kind Regards

Hi @bcworkz Indeed i worked in the posted link and once you checked it it was already solved. BUT YES! I really appreciate your advice coding.

My main issue, to use a loop, is that I do not uderstand how to deal with “open the line” “close the line”. I suposse I need to include a conditional rule so if it is 0 module division I have to include “open line” and if it is 2 module division (let say we want 3 rows) I have to include “close line”.

If I am in the right way, could you suggest a codification guide lines or a little example?

Thanks in advance. Make it works its ok, but to have an efficient and elegant code makes me happy ??

It is really strange, because the following code works

function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
         
        $query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');   
        $query->set('order', 'ASC'); 
        
    // return
    return $query;

}

But the folliwn one, not:

function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
         
        $query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');   
        $query->set('meta_key', 'fecha');   
        $query->set('order', 'ASC'); 
        
    // return
    return $query;

}

Why if I introduce $query->set('meta_key', 'fecha'); it does returns and empty query?

Hi @bcworkz, @joyously, now it works ??

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi @bcworkz thanks for your feedback! Indeed my idea is to user it as an organizational tool and maybe to use it in multiple cases in advance.

Do you know what is wrong in my code? The template part is not being loaded.

I assume these are the variables to be updated:

$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');	
$query->set('meta_key', 'start_date');	 
$query->set('order', 'DESC'); 

if programada custom post type should be order descent by fecha custom field:

$query->set('orderby', '*****');	
$query->set('meta_key', 'fecha');	 
$query->set('order', 'DESC');

What should be the value for meta_value? are the other variables ok?

Is this more accurate example?

<?php

function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
	
	// do not modify queries in the admin
	if( is_admin() ) {
		
		return $query;
		
	}
	

	// only modify queries for 'event' post type
	if( isset($query->query_vars['post_type']) && $query->query_vars['post_type'] == 'event' ) {
		
		$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');	
		$query->set('meta_key', 'start_date');	 
		$query->set('order', 'DESC'); 
		
	}
	

	// return
	return $query;

}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_pre_get_posts');

?>

@sterndata I have found this (to be added on functions.php)

function prefix_modify_query_order( $query ) {
  if ( is_main_query() ) {
 
    $args =  array( 'post_date' => 'ASC' );
 
    $query->set( 'orderby', $args );
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'prefix_modify_query_order' );

Do you think that it could works changin ‘post_date’ to my custom fild date? I will check the documentation you suggest.

Hi @sterndata! Thanks a lor for your feedback.

Sorry but I will need some more tips to develope this. If I well undertood, i have to add this to my code:

<?php add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'your_function_name' ); ?>

Then I have to define ‘your_function_name’ in functions file. Right?

Something like

function sort_by_date(){
	
}

Sorry for the basic question, but long time not developing…

Could you give me some guidelines for the function develop?

Thanks in advance.
