‘post’ for post_type does not work for WP_Query

    Hi.

    I have those arguments for my query.

     $args2 = array(
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'post_status' => 'any',
            'cat'   => $category_id,
            'posts_per_page' => -1, // Recupera tutti i post corrispondenti ai criteri
            'author' => $user_id
        );

    I log this array and result is this

    [11-Sep-2023 10:22:34 UTC] stampa array args:
[11-Sep-2023 10:22:34 UTC] post
[11-Sep-2023 10:22:34 UTC] any
[11-Sep-2023 10:22:34 UTC] 5841
[11-Sep-2023 10:22:34 UTC] -1
[11-Sep-2023 10:22:34 UTC] 17

    which looks fine. Than I do this

    $query2 = new WP_Query($args2);

    Than I try to log the $query2 with

    error_log($query2->request);

    and the result of this log is a query like this

        SELECT   hAvlYjZV_posts.*
    FROM hAvlYjZV_posts  LEFT JOIN hAvlYjZV_term_relationships ON (hAvlYjZV_posts.ID = hAvlYjZV_term_relationships.object_id)
    WHERE 1=1  
    AND (      hAvlYjZV_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id IN (5841)) 
    AND hAvlYjZV_posts.post_author IN (17)  
AND hAvlYjZV_posts.post_type IN ('libri', 'ricette', 'cpt_interviste', 'rubriche_originali') 
AND ((hAvlYjZV_posts.post_status <> 'trash' AND hAvlYjZV_posts.post_status <> 'auto-draft'))
                            GROUP BY hAvlYjZV_posts.ID
                            ORDER BY hAvlYjZV_posts.post_date DESC

    Now the problem… post_type seems to filter by ‘libri’, ‘ricette’, ‘cpt_interviste’, ‘rubriche_originali’ (which are custom post types in my implementation) but in my $args2 I explicitly asked for

    'post_type' => 'post',

    Why do I have this statement wrong in WP_Query??? Any help here?

    Thanks. Ioria

    hi there,

    It’s possible that in the implementation of these custom post types they are always being injected into the query via a filter/action such as pre_get_posts. It’s worth looking at this part of the theme/plugins that are being run, to see if removing that solves the issue.

    Paul is very likely correct about queries being modified. While removing the associated module might work, you will also lose its functionality. Assuming the “pre_get_posts” action is being used to modify queries, you can likely override the modifications using the same action hook. If you add your action callback with a very larger $priority arg, your callback should have the final say in what query var values are used.

    Hi @paulkevan and @bcworkz ,

    I think you are both right. But you know what?

    With this code I solved the problem, I do not know why? (I am not that expert, mine was just a tentative). 

    $args2 = array(
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'author__in' => array($user_id),
            'post_status' => 'any',
            'cat'   => $category_id,
            'posts_per_page' => -1,
        );

    Practically i have used

    'author__in' => array($user_id),

    and it worked!!!

    Thanks.

    Mario.
