I am trying to embed a custom WP_Query inside a shortcode I have activated on one of my pages (created in Elementor). I have a Custom Post Type called ‘inspector-profiles’, and for some reason when I add that to my $ args array, it gets either not honored by WP, or it is overwritten by something else.
I cannot see what is causing an overwrite if anything.
The code is this, so far:
private function isInspector() { if (is_user_logged_in()) { $ user = wp_get_current_user(); return in_array('general_inspector', (array)$ user->roles); } return false; } public function sc_inspectorProfileData() { global $ wpdb; $ user = \wp_get_current_user(); // WP_Query arguments $ args = array( 'post_type' => 'inspector-profiles', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'author' => $ user->ID ); // The Query echo '<pre>'; $ myq = new \WP_Query( $ args ); print_r($ myq->request); if ($ myq->have_posts()) { while ($ myq->have_posts()) { $ myq->the_post(); print_r($ myq->post); wp_reset_postdata(); wp_reset_query(); } } echo '</pre>'; }
When I create the arguments for WP_Query above, the $ args array looks fine prior to running the query. When I run the query, I immediately spit out the generated SQL query, and it looks like this:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_author IN (1) AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('post', 'page', 'attachment', 'memberpressproduct', 'memberpressgroup', 'mpdl-file', 'ht_kb') AND ((wp_posts.post_status = 'publish')) ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 200
My specified post_type is not even in that list. What am I doing wrong? I have tried using instances of get_posts(), using the WP_Query object, and some stuff that has been deprecated even.
