query_posts on category ID doesn’t work

3 comments

1. Try with

   $posts = query_posts(array('post_type'=>'sedan', 'cat'=>'1', 'posts_per_page'=>'4'));
   

   cat instead of category.

   Also don’t use query_posts() for your query.

   https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts

   Use get_posts() or WP_Query()

   You can achieve the same with:

   $posts = get_posts(array('post_type'=>'sedan', 'category'=>'1', 'posts_per_page'=>'4'));
   

   Safer way then modifying the main query.

   I always prefer WP_Query myself.

   $args = array(
       'post_type'=>'sedan',
       'cat'=>'1',
       'posts_per_page'=>'4'
   );
   
   $posts = new WP_Query($args);
   
   $out = '';
   
   if ($posts->have_posts()){
       while ($posts->have_posts()){
           $posts->the_post(); 
           $out .= 'stuff goes here';
       }
   }
   wp_reset_postdata();
   
   return $out;
   

2. try to use get_posts refrence

   $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'offset'=> 1, 'category' => 1 );
   
   $myposts = get_posts( $args );
   

   or another option is to use WP_Query

   $new = new WP_Query('post_type=discography&category_name=my-category');
   while ($new->have_posts()) : $new->the_post();
        the_content();
       endwhile;
   

   or with cat id

   $cat_id = get_cat_ID('My Category');
   $args=array(
     'cat' => $cat_id,
     'post_type' => 'discography',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => 5,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $new = new WP_Query($args);
   

3. This is what worked for me.

   $args=array(
   'posts_per_page' => 50,    
   'post_type' => 'my_custom_type'
   'tax_query' => array(
       array(
           'taxonomy' => 'category', //double check your taxonomy name in you db 
           'field'    => 'id',
           'terms'    => $cat_id,
       ),
      ),
    );
   $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );
