Combine Custom Sorting Filters WordPress
- SOLVED
This is a continuation of a previous question I asked (http://wpquestions.com/question/show/id/7697)
Essentially now I need to combine my search filters. If someone clicks on "20" to show 20 posts per page, and then "Most Recent" to sort the posts by date, these 2 filters should be used.
This is the code I am currently using:
<div id="top-pagination">
<p>
<span class="left">Sort by:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/celebrities/">Name<a> |
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/celebrities/?sort=date">Most Recent</a>
</span>
<span class="right">View:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/celebrities/?show_posts=20">20</a> |
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/celebrities/?show_posts=50">50</a>
</span>
</p>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>
<?php
if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['show_posts'] ) ) {
$show_posts = $_REQUEST['show_posts'];
} else {
$show_posts = 10;
}
if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['sort'] ) ){
$sort = 'date';
$order = 'DESC';
}
else{
$sort = 'title';
$order = 'ASC';
}
$my_query_args=array(
'post_type'=>'speakers',
'posts_per_page' => $show_posts ,
'orderby'=> $sort ,
'order'=> $order,
'paged'=>$paged,
'taxonomy_name'=>'celebrity_types'
);
$wp_query = new WP_Query($my_query_args);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<article>
...Some article stuff in here
</article>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();?>
<div id="pagination">
<p><span class="left"><?php echo 'Page '. $paged . ' of ' . $wp_query->max_num_pages; ?></span><?php prev_blog_page(); ?><?php next_blog_page(); ?></p>
</div>

Anthony Moore comments:
Yes that works. What about doing it the other way, where if someone first clicks on "Most Recent" or "Name" and then clicks on "20" or "50"?
Arnav Joy comments:
I think that will work as usual , test it and let me know.
Anthony Moore comments:
Currently it does not work.
