I think this works:
<?php
$args=array(
'showposts' => 3,
'category__in' => array(3,5),
'caller_get_posts'=>1
'meta_key' => 'country',
'meta_value' => 'USA'
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($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 MichaelH, Thanks for your input, I tried that, it works but my requirement is a bit different
I am looking to add this code to index.php, category.php
country is added as a custom field.
The site works as usual wp install, and when the user selects a particular country then it keeps the country in a session variable. Again the site works normally but only the posts for that country are displayed.
I added this
$args=array(
'showposts' => 3,
'category__in' => array(3,5),
'caller_get_posts'=>1
'meta_key' => 'country',
'meta_value' => 'MY SESS Variable here'
);
It is not working when I select a category (I replaced ‘category__in’=>$catid with is_category() )
//if category archive assign queried category
if ( is_category() ) {
$catid = get_query_var('cat');
}
$args=array(
'showposts' => 3,
'category__in' => array($catid),
'caller_get_posts'=>1
'meta_key' => 'country',
'meta_value' => 'MY SESS Variable here'
);
