pw_query() PHP Method - Not querying on post_format

[ansonphong]

Hi Haidy, I found when querying with pw_query, that post_format isn't returning any results.

Here is an example :

  $query_args = array(
    "post_format" => "video",
    "posts_per_page" => "20"
    );
  $query = pw_query($query_args);
  echo json_encode( $query->posts );

Even if there are some with values 'video', it will not return any results. Totally empty.

Other parameters such as post_class work fine, which are querying form the same wp_postworld_post_meta table.

Hi Haidy - do you have any ideas why the post_format hasn't been returning values? Have you been able to re-produce this issue?

I used :

$query_args = array(
    "post-format" => "video",
    "posts_per_page" => "20"
    );

and it returned values.

Oh that must be it ---

It shoud be "post_format" rather than "post-format"

Another thing, wp_query generates (0=1) in the query which forces 0 records to be returned. This is because the wp_query uses post_format in the parameters but in tax query

ex:

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'tax_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'OR',
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'category',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array( 'quotes' )
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array( 'post-format-quote' )
        )
    )
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

I tried renaming the column in the database to another dummy name and to "postformat" and no problems occurred and the query returned results. We should change column name and references in the whole plugin. Please confirm.

Interesting point - hmm... if we change it to anything, I think we would change it to "link_format" since it currently is being used to define the format of the link_url. that would take some re-implimentation.

please change that to "_linkformat" in the _pwquery(), and I'll change it everywhere else.

Just making sure this one will be covered, as it affects the search results page?

[ansonphong]

I still have to make an across the board change of post_format to link_format

Places to update are :

• Database table : wp_postworld_post_meta column post_format rename link_format • Many functions throughout Postworld via manual search and replace • Post templates

On the search results we can hide this for the next couple days until I've made these changes.
