Hello,

Has anyone had a chance to look at this issue?
Any help would be appreciated…thanks!

Peter

Hi Peter, This is a strange one, I had a look at my plugin and I have an idea, but i’m not 100% it will work.

in the function pre_get_posts in totally_booked.php (line 280) can you add the following line and let me know if it works? If it does ill push an update immediately.

if( ! is_main_query() ) return;

The whole function should look like this when you are done:

public function pre_get_posts( $query ){

        if( ! is_main_query() ) return;

        /**
         * Add Support for simple page ordering.
         */
        if( class_exists( 'Simple_Page_Ordering' ) ){
            if( is_post_type_archive( 'tb_book' ) || is_tax( 'tb_genre' ) || is_tax( 'tb_series' ) || is_tax( 'tb_author' ) ){
                $query->set( 'orderby' , 'menu_order' );
                $query->set( 'order'   , 'ASC' );
            }
        }

        /**
         * Initialise the max posts option
         */
        $maxposts = get_option( 'tb_archive_posts_per_page' );
        if( $maxposts && $maxposts > 0 ){

            if( is_post_type_archive( 'tb_book' ) || is_tax( array( 'tb_genre', 'tb_series', 'tb_author' ) ) ){
                $query->set( 'posts_per_page', (int)$maxposts );
            }

        }

    }

Cheers
Ben

Hi Ben, sorry for the late response. I tried this, it did not change anything. Remember that I am using a modified book archive template as the original version did not display the sidebar, Here is the code:

<?php
/**
 * Totally Booked Archive Template
 *
 * @version 0.1
 * @package totally-booked
 * @since 0.1
 */
get_header(); ?>
  <?php do_action( 'tb_wrapper_start' ); ?>
        <header class="archive-header">
            <h1 class="archive-title"><?php tb_archive_title() ?></h1>
        </header><!-- .archive-header -->

        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

            tb_get_template_part( 'loops/archive' );

        endwhile; endif; ?>

    <?php do_action( 'tb_wrapper_end' ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!

Peter, I had made a mistake with the code I gave you, it should be as follows:

if( ! $query->is_main_query() ) return;

Try that.

Having a custom archive shouldn’t be the issue.

Hi Ben, this worked, problem solved!

Thank you.
Peter
