query_post by meta_key only without specific category setting not works

  • Hi. I’m using WordPress 2.9.2. I want to query both posts and pages that have the custom field “Banner home”. So, I’m doing a query_posts call.
    But instead I set post_type=any, the query doesn’t works. It only works If I call to an specific category or page.

    My code looks like this:

    <?php $args=array('post_type' => 'any', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'meta_key' => 'Banner home', 'posts_per_page' => 3);
	$my_query_bannerhome = new WP_Query($args); ?>
    <?php if ($my_query_bannerhome->have_posts()) : while ($my_query_bannerhome->have_posts()) : $my_query_bannerhome->the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	// My stuff
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    What I’m doing wrong?

  • Works fine for me:

    <?php
$args=array(
  'meta_key'=>'cf1',
  'post_type' => 'any',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    Hi Michael. Mmmmm…I’s weird. It’s doesn’t work for me. I just change your code to this:

    <?php
$args=array(
  'meta_key'=>'Banner home',
  'post_type' => 'any',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 3,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_image' ) ) { get_the_image(
		array(
		'custom_key' => array( 'Banner home' ),
		'default_size' => '',
		'attachment' => false,
		'link_to_post' => true,
		'image_scan' => false,
		'width' => '980',
		'height' => '350',
		)); } ?>
</div>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    I’m doing other query calls in the same page, but if I put the code alone, nothing happens.

    My code only works If I use this:

    `<?php $args=array(‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘Banner home’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ‘category_name’=>’noticias’);
    $my_query_bannerhome = new WP_Query($args); ?>
    <?php if ($my_query_bannerhome->have_posts()) : while ($my_query_bannerhome->have_posts()) : $my_query_bannerhome->the_post(); ?>
    <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <?php if ( function_exists( ‘get_the_image’ ) ) { get_the_image(
    array(
    ‘custom_key’ => array( ‘Banner home’ ),
    ‘default_size’ => ”,
    ‘attachment’ => false,
    ‘link_to_post’ => true,
    ‘image_scan’ => false,
    ‘width’ => ‘980’,
    ‘height’ => ‘350’,
    )); } ?>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>`

    If I remove ‘category’=>’noticias’, the query doesn’t display any post instead of ‘post_tye’=>’any’

    I just added a “Banner home” custom field to a page and remove ‘category’=>’noticias’ and the query display it, but doesn’t display posts in categories. So, my code looks like this now:

    <?php $args=array('post_type' => 'any', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'meta_key' => 'Banner home', 'posts_per_page' => 3);
	$my_query_bannerhome = new WP_Query($args); ?>
    <?php if ($my_query_bannerhome->have_posts()) : while ($my_query_bannerhome->have_posts()) : $my_query_bannerhome->the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_image' ) ) { get_the_image(
		array(
		'custom_key' => array( 'Banner home' ),
		'default_size' => '',
		'attachment' => false,
		'link_to_post' => true,
		'image_scan' => false,
		'width' => '980',
		'height' => '350',
		)); } ?>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    It still doesn’t shows all the post with this custom field.

    ps: sorry for my bad english.

    Wonder if there’s a plugin causing the problem. Might deactivate plugins and if necessary switch to the WordPress Default theme then put your code in the wp-content/themes/default/index.php file.
