I’m using the “pre_get_posts” hook to modify the WordPress query for 2 specific categories on a site. Everything is working fine until it gets to this point:<\/p>\n
if($query->is_main_query()) {\n\t$query->query_vars['post__in'] = $pageposts_arr;\n\t$query->query_vars['orderby'] = 'post__in';\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n$pageposts_arr is just an array of post IDs in a specific order determined by a special mysql query. I’ve tried both $query->is_main_query() and is_main_query(), neither return any value. Everything works fine if I remove the if test, except that it breaks all the other queries on the page. I can confirm that it was working fine in 3.7, and broke immediately upon upgrading to 3.8.<\/p>\n
Been searching for quite a while, but noone else seems to be having this problem. Anyone know what’s up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4433991","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/4433991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/4433991\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4433991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
