I am sorry for my ignorance but I still don’t understand could you please add example on my code or on new code, so my aim is orderby post_count in ASC or DESC?

my current code:

<?php

$args = array (
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => '16',
);

$the_query = new WP_Query ($args);

if ($the_query-> have_posts()) {
    $authorArgs = array(
        'orderby' => 'ID',
	
		 'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'has_published_posts' => array('post'),
    );

$authors = get_users();
$authors = get_users( array( 'user_registered' => 'blankwordpress' ) );

echo '<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Company</th>
    <th>Contact</th>
    <th>Country</th>
  </tr> ';
foreach ( $authors as $author ) {
    $posts = count_user_posts($author->ID, 'post');
        echo '<tr><td>' . esc_html( $author->first_name) .' </td><td>' . esc_html( $author->last_name) . '</td><td> ' . $posts . '</td></tr>';

echo '</table>';

    echo '<ul>';
    while ($the_query-> have_posts()) {
        $the_query-> the_post();
        echo '<li>'. get_the_title(). '</li>';
        echo '<li>'. get_the_author(). '</li>';
    }
    echo '</ul>';
} else {
    // no posts found
}

?>	

Hi it accepts orderby post_count but not order in ASC or DESC if does please do show me how as I am been a week trying to find a way.

                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

and this is on my htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ wp/$1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

the main site works fine but everytime i create another site I Can’t go to the dashboard

Well I need those different thumbnails sizes, but not everytime I upload an image just looking for a option where I can choose what size to upload without making a duplicate is that not possible??

Hi I found a function that made it work are you familiar with it.

/**
* Conditional function to check if post or page belongs to term in a custom taxonomy.
*
* @param    tax        string                taxonomy to which the term belons
* @param    term    int|string|array    attributes of shortcode
* @param    _post    int                    post id to be checked
* @return             BOOL                True if term is matched, false otherwise
*/
function pa_in_taxonomy($tax, $term, $_post = NULL) {
// if neither tax nor term are specified, return false
if ( !$tax || !$term ) { return FALSE; }
// if post parameter is given, get it, otherwise use $GLOBALS to get post
if ( $_post ) {
$_post = get_post( $_post );
} else {
$_post =& $GLOBALS['post'];
}
// if no post return false
if ( !$_post ) { return FALSE; }
// check whether post matches term belongin to tax
$return = is_object_in_term( $_post->ID, $tax, $term );
// if error returned, then return false
if ( is_wp_error( $return ) ) { return FALSE; }
return $return;
}

and then call it

<?php
if (pa_in_taxonomy('page_category', 'hello')) {
echo "Western films are great";
} else {
echo "edy";
}
?>

Thanks for your help

do you mean like this if so still didnt work

<?php
if (is_tax('page_category')) {
echo "<p>Western films are great</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>comedy</p>";
}
?>

register_taxonomy('page_category', 'page', array(
    'label' => 'Categories',
    'hierarchical' => true,
));

yes both where the category is hello and one that the category is not hello.

Hi just tried still didnt work the pages still only given me the else event thou I tick the page category, does category doesnt work on page only on post or something?

<?php
if (is_tax('page_category', 'hello')) {
echo "<p>Western films are great</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>comedy</p>";
}
?>

Hi I tried if is tax still didnt work this is how I did it.

<?php
if (is_tax('hello')) {
echo "<p>Western films are great</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>comedy</p>";
}
?>

this is how i’ve created the tax by adding this line inside the function do I need anything else I’ve ticked the category on the CMS but still nothing always echo the else on the page

register_taxonomy('page_category', 'page', array(
    'label' => 'Categories',
    'hierarchical' => true,
));

Do I need to do differently ?

thanks

<?php
//function to display the third last news published
function wptuts_third_last_news_shortcode($atts, $content=null) {
query_posts( 'category_name=news' );   if (have_posts()) :
      while (have_posts()) : the_post();
	 		 $blog_link = get_permalink(); // this si the link
        $return_string .=  "<a href=" .$blog_link .">" . get_the_title() . "</a> <br />" ;
      endwhile;
   endif;
   wp_reset_query();
   return $return_string;
}
add_shortcode( 'third_last_news', 'wptuts_third_last_news_shortcode');
?>

here the link to my site
my site

yes it did display before I even have two functions they mean to do the same job display latest post. the first one works fine except that it show the last post twice on the homepage at the top and at the bottom of the content,

the second function I just cant get the ( MORE ) to appear.
here a link to my page

click on the link (click here to see the function txt file) to see the the two functions

My aim is to be able to display the latest post on the homepage and use the more function on the text editor to shorten the display on on the homepage

would really appreciate any help.

do you mean like this

<?php
    function wptuts_recentpost($atts, $content=null){
      global $more;    // Declare global $more (before the loop).
  $more = 0;       // Set (inside the loop) to display content above the more tag.
        $getpost = get_posts( array('number' => 1) );
        $getpost = $getpost[0];
        $return = $getpost->post_title . "<br />" . $getpost->post_content . "…";
       $return = $getpost->post_title . "<br />" . apply_filters('the_content',$getpost->post_content) . "…";
    }
    add_shortcode('newestpost', 'wptuts_recentpost');
?>

it doesnt display any post
