Custom Query – how to use / to show different order?

[snikayParticipant]

Hi!
Really, I hate to bother you again.. I tried the whole day to get „wpeddit_order“ working with custom query-field. But I failed. Also checked your documentation and wordpress core but I think I just don’t understand what I have to do to get wpeddit_order working again. Could you please help me out again?

Thanks!

PS: ignore my email, think it’s a question for the forum 🙂

Hi Snikay,

This is the code you need to set right ?

$query->set('meta_key', 'epicredrank');
$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value_num');
$query->set('order', 'DESC');

So please keep this in custom query field in your shortcode.
meta_key=epicredrank&orderbymeta_value_num&order=DESC

Hope this helps.

Hm, if i just paste this into the custom query field, the order still is by date/last posts.

This is the code I had to put into the functions.php:

//code for changing the custom post order
function wpeddit_order($query) {
		global $wp_query;
		if ( ! $query->is_main_query() )
	    return $query;
		
	      if(!is_page() || !is_admin()){
	      	if(is_main_query()){
				$query->set('meta_key', 'epicredrank');
		  		$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value_num');
		  		$query->set('order', 'DESC');
			}
	      }
		return $query;
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','wpeddit_order');

Oh! NOW I understood how this works! The = was missing;

meta_key=epicredrank&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC

Thanks, D! 🙂

I already rated it over there 🙂 We talked about that in the emails as we were talking about WPeddit.
