Is there a way to get a list of all articles containing “these words” ?

  • I am having a problem trying to query WordPress to just show me say a post containing “Word 1” and “Word 2”.

    I would actually like to have this directly in an article (so I would create a new entry then have this information filled right in). My goal is for something like this to happen:

    Query Words Containing “Hello” and “Good Bye”
    Show every article title (and link to the article itself) containing those words in descending order.
    Have each article title wrapped in a

    • before it and

      • after it.

      Is that possible to do? If so, I’d really APPRECIATE some example code! Thanks

  • <?php
// display post title for any post that has both $findtext1 and $findtext2 in the post content
$findtext1 = 'Welcome';
$findtext2 = 'first';
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'orderby' => 'date',
  'order' => 'DESC',
  'showposts' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Posts containing "'.$findtext1.'" and "'.$findtext2.'"';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
    if ( (strpos($post->post_content, $findtext1)!== false) && (strpos($post->post_content, $findtext2)!== false)) {   ?>
      <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
      <?php
    } //if (strpos
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    Test of $findtext1 and $findtext2 is case sensitive.

    Note: recommend upgrading to 2.8.5

    Michael you rock! It’s working great. However, one minor thing and that is this part:

    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    echo ‘List of Posts containing “‘.$findtext1.'” and “‘.$findtext2.'”‘;

    It shows the text even if there are no posts (I tried adding some gibberish $findtext1 and $findtext2 and it didn’t have any results except the echo statement still showed).

    Could you help me with that? Thanks!
