Sort in WP_Query(), not filter? Is it possible?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I want to query and SORT in WP_Query(). But whatever I do, it only prints posts with meta_key set up. But I want all the results and just sort them.
This is my query:
$query = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'my_post_type',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'post_views_count',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC'
));
Any ideas how to make sorting happen? It sorts, but only shows posts with meta_key set up. I want all the posts.

You'll need to hook into theposts_orderbyfilter for that.

Ok so as I understand correctly. I now have custom posts in wp_posts table and custom meta in wp_postmeta. Now I only need a way to "connect" those two. So in return it should be something like wp_posts.wp_postmeta DESC? Or how do I connect those two tables? Thanks a lot!

If you want to sort the posts by the meta post_views_count, and still include posts that do not have that meta, you can use meta_query like so:
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR', // make sure it's OR
// Include posts that have the meta.
array(
'key' => 'post_views_count',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
),
// Include posts that don't have the meta.
array(
'key' => 'post_views_count',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
),
),
And you can just use that in place of this:
'meta_key' => 'post_views_count',
I.e. Your code would look like:
$query = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'my_post_type',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'post_views_count',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
),
array(
'key' => 'post_views_count',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
),
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
));

Ok so as I understand correctly. I now have custom posts in wp_posts table and custom meta in wp_postmeta. Now I only need a way to "connect" those two. So in return it should be something like wp_posts.wp_postmeta DESC? Or how do I connect those two tables? Thanks a lot!
