I have a custom shortcode function to display a list of articles. The list needs independent styling based on the post tag. That part all works. I need it to be sorted by term_order. I created a post_orderby filter to override the query, but when I apply it, it breaks the link to the page. Any help on why this might be happening is appreciated.
//add filter to change the order by of the query done by WP_QUERY:
function my_query_orderby($orderby) {
global $wpdb;
return "{$wpdb->term_relationships}.term_order ASC";
}
add_filter('posts_orderby', 'my_query_orderby');
function create_article_list($attr) {
// Initialize variable and check for shortcode content
$return = '';
if( $content )
{
$return = $content;
}
$args = shortcode_atts( array(
'term' => '68',
), $attr );
$terms = array($args['term']);
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'user_guide',
'orderby' => 'term_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'user_guide_categories',
'terms' => $terms,
'field' => 'term_id',
'operator' => 'IN',
'include_children' => true
)
),
) );
while ( $query->have_posts() )
{
$first = '';
$tags = array();
$tags = get_the_tags();
$tag = $tags[0]->name;
if ($tag == "essential")
{
$return .=
$first
. '<a id=article-list-user-guide href="' . get_permalink() . '">'
. '<i class="fa-solid fa-star-of-life"></i>'
. get_the_title()
. '</a><br>';
$first = '<br>';
} elseif ($tag == "admin")
{
$return .=
$first
. '<a id=article-list-admin-guide href="' . get_permalink() . '">'
. get_the_title()
. '</a><br>';
$first = '<br>';
}
}
return $return;
}
add_shortcode('my_shortcode', 'create_article_list');
