Page with all posts

[kaioian]

Hello, I created a page with all posts, shown by likes. But the posts with zero like are not shown. Can you help me. I want to show all posts even those with zero likes. Thanks. This is the page template I use.

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Most Liked Posts
*
* Description: Twenty Twelve loves the no-sidebar look as much as
* you do. Use this page template to remove the sidebar from any page.
*
* Tip: to remove the sidebar from all posts and pages simply remove
* any active widgets from the Main Sidebar area, and the sidebar will
* disappear everywhere.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0

get_header(); ?>

<div id=”primary” class=”site-content”>
<div id=”content” role=”main”>
<?php
// Get the last voted time based on a week
$last_voted_time = GetWtiLastDate(‘6m’);

// Query to get all posts sorted by like count after a specific date

$query = query_posts(
array(
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘cat’ => ‘-20’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 300,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_wti_like_count’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
‘meta_query’ => array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘_wti_last_voted_time’,
‘value’ => $last_voted_time,
‘type’ => ‘DATETIME’,
‘compare’ => ‘>=’
)
)
)
);

I assume you have not made much modifications to our script. The script picks the posts which have like count as meta data. So if a post does not have this meta data, then it won’t be shown. If you were using the lite version prior to using this pro version, then it’s likely that some posts might have missed out the meta data. Those posts which have recorded fresh votings will surely have the meta data and show up.

You will find a button Update Like Meta on the plugin configuration page. Use this button to update the like meta data. This will result in having meta data for all posts and the posts will show up with the script you are using.

Note:
– Since this will modify the post data, please have a database back up before proceeding.

Thanks

I’m using the pro version of the plugin. So to show posts which have no votes yet, I have to use the button “Update Like Meta”? Is this mean every time when I post a new post I’ll have to use the button “Update Like Meta”? Is there another way to show posts in a page which doesn’t have any votes and people to vote for them.

Thanks!

This should work for you and you do not need to use this each time you add a post. Using query_posts or WP_Query is the better approach. Another way will be using raw queries. If you need that, then we will need some time to prepare that. Please confirm whether the existing approach works for you or not. Thanks..

What is raw queries? How to use query_posts or WP_Query? I should use it in the page template?

[Webtechideas]

By raw queries I mean using simple queries without using wordpress specific functions as you mentioned.
