Help with WP_Query not working

#167508

Hi there,

I trying your WP_query method in a custom page template to display the filters for one of my custom post types. The query works fine (I get the list of posts) but as soon as I pass in the relevant Search Filter Pro ID, everything breaks (I the not working message I set below).

This is the code I’m using:

<?php
$args = array(
  'post_type'   => 'testi',
 );
$args['search_filter_id'] = 2030;
$testimonials = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $testimonials->have_posts() ) :
?>
  <ul>
    <?php
      while( $testimonials->have_posts() ) :
        $testimonials->the_post();
        ?>
          <li><?php the_title();  ?></li>
        <?php
      endwhile;
      wp_reset_postdata();
    ?>
  </ul>
<?php
else :
  esc_html_e( 'Not working', 'text-domain' );
endif;
?>

Could you know what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

It might be the comma at the end of line 3, after 'testi

Try this maybe:

<?php
$args = array(
  'post_type'   => 'testi',
  'search_filter_id' => 2030
 );
$testimonials = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $testimonials->have_posts() ) :
?>
  <ul>
    <?php
      while( $testimonials->have_posts() ) :
        $testimonials->the_post();
        ?>
          <li><?php the_title();  ?></li>
        <?php
      endwhile;
      wp_reset_postdata();
    ?>
  </ul>
<?php
else :
  esc_html_e( 'Not working', 'text-domain' );
endif;
?>

Thanks, I didn’t see that I added that comma while trying to solve this.

However this wasn’t the problem, I’m still getting the same error 🙁

I don’t need to do anything else than adding this line on my template and the URL in the search from admin form, right?

That is correct. What error is it you are seeing?

Just a sec, I’ll enable WP_debug

Notice: is_search was called incorrectly. Conditional query tags do not work before the query is run. Before then, they always return false. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

I cannot see anything wrong. Can you try using the shortcode method instead? Using a test page?
