WP_Query and Default Category Rules

  • Resolved spencersokol

    (@spencersokol)


    9 years, 9 months ago

    I have the current setup:

    An access level called “Public” with a negative Category rule with a couple categories selected.
    Stranger setting set to use the “Public” access level.
    A WP_Query to get the 10 most recent published posts.

    Resulting in the problem:
    I would expect the WP_Query to not return posts in categories excluded by the “Public” access level, but posts in those categories are being returned.

    Is there some setup step I’m missing?

    Looks like 806 of default.rules.php (M_Categories::add_unviewable_posts) may have a questionable in_array call. I think it’s trying to determine whether or not the post_type query_var contains ‘post’, but has it written as !in_array($wp_query->query_vars['post_type'], array('post','')). Rewriting is as !in_array('post', $wp_query->query_vars['post_type']) (in_array($needle, $haystack)) yields the results I’m expecting.

    Of course, you need to do a check on $wp_query->query_vars[‘post_type’] to convert it to an array, if it is not.

    The question becomes: Is my assumption of the goal of that in_array call correct?

    Hey there spencersokol,

    Hope you’re well today and sorry for the delay ??

    I’ll have to consult plugin developer on this one so he can provide his valuable opinion on this. I’ll let you know as soon as I have any information.

    Have a great day.

    I’ve talked to plugin developer on this one and he told me that your fix should work and that this will be included in the following update of the plugin.
