Filter out posts before display category count WordPress
- SOLVED
I have meta key "Due" for posts....if a post has expired (past the current date or not equal to it) then it should not be displayed in the count (i have code to display the count, which fades in over a thumbnail)..for example right now one says it has 89, but it should really only be 26 because the rest have expired....so how do I filter out posts before the count is displayed?
Here is my code:
<?php
$categories = get_categories('hide_empty=0&exclude=13,1,1460&orderby=count&order=DESC&number=6');
if (!empty($categories)) {
$i = 0;
foreach ($categories as $cat) {
$class = ( $i % 3 ) ? 'span4' : 'span4';
$thumbnail_id = get_option('seamless_term_thumb_' . $cat->term_id);
$image = wp_get_attachment_url($thumbnail_id);
get_the_category()
?>
<div class="<?php echo $class . ' ' . 'category-' . $cat->term_id;?>">
<div class="thumb one">
<?php
echo '<a href="' . get_field('category_link', $post->ID) . '">' . '<div class="two">' . $cat->count . '</div>' . '</a>';
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_field('category_link', $post->ID); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_cat_name($cat->term_id); ?>" class="item-image">
</a>
</div> <!-- end .thumb -->
</div>
<?php $i++; } } ?>

query_posts('meta_key=my-key-name&meta_value=' . $some_value);
echo $wp_query->found_posts;
So update the code to
echo $cat->count - $wp_query->found_posts;

How do I incorporate this into that?
$query->set(
'meta_query',
array(
array(
'key' => 'Due',
'value' => date( 'Ymd' ),
'type' => 'DATE',
'compare' => '>=', // greater than or equal to
)
)
);

Fahad Murtaza comments:
Above, in your code. get_the_category()
isn't there a syntax error right there. Can you paste the correct code that is working on your site?

This is what I currently have
<?php
$categories = get_categories('hide_empty=0&exclude=13,1,1460&orderby=count&order=DESC&number=6');
if (!empty($categories)) {
$i = 0;
foreach ($categories as $cat) {
$class = ( $i % 3 ) ? 'span4' : 'span4';
$thumbnail_id = get_option('seamless_term_thumb_' . $cat->term_id);
$image = wp_get_attachment_url($thumbnail_id);
get_the_category()
?>
<div class="<?php echo $class . ' ' . 'category-' . $cat->term_id;?>">
<div class="thumb one">
<?php
query_posts('meta_key=Due-name&meta_value=' . $some_value);
echo '<a href="' . get_field('category_link', $post->ID) . '">' . '<div class="two">' . $cat->count . ' Scholarships' . '</div>' . '</a>';
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_field('category_link', $post->ID); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_cat_name($cat->term_id); ?>" class="item-image">
</a>
</div> <!-- end .thumb -->
</div>
<?php $i++; } } ?>

Any idea sir? This is kind of urgent
Fahad Murtaza comments:
OK
Here is the final answer
$counter = 0;
query_posts( array('post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'date',
'cat'=> $cat->term_id,
'meta_query' =>
array(
array(
'key' => 'Due',
'value' => date( 'Ymd' ),
'type' => 'DATE',
'compare' => '>=', // greater than or equal to
)
)
));
if ( have_posts() ):
$counter=0;
while ( have_posts() ): the_post();
/*<span class="due"><strong>Due: </strong><?php echo date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ), strtotime( $due = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Due', true ) ) ); ?></span> */
$counter++;
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
