Specify number of posts in my ‘tax_query’

2 Views

I’m showing posts of the term ‘football’ belonging to the taxonomy ‘section’, and everything works perfectly but
Where can I specify the number of posts I want to show?

just like this: ‘showposts’ => 3

I do not know where to put it 

    $myquery['tax_query'] = array(
                   array(
                        'taxonomy' => 'section',
                        'terms' => array('futbol'),
                        'field' => 'slug',
                    ),
        );
        query_posts($myquery);

  1. Never user query_posts, under any circumstances. Use WP_Query instead, which is how query_posts works internally, but without the trickery and downsides.

    You’ll also find that the WP_Query documentation gives you explanations for every parameter, including what you are trying to do:

    posts_per_page (int) – number of post to show per page (available with Version 2.1, replaced showposts parameter). Use
    'posts_per_page'=>-1 to show all posts (the ‘offset‘ parameter is
    ignored with a -1 value). Set the ‘paged’ parameter if pagination is
    off after using this parameter. Note: if the query is in a feed,
    wordpress overwrites this parameter with the stored ‘posts_per_rss‘
    option. To reimpose the limit, try using the ‘post_limits‘ filter, or
    filter ‘pre_option_posts_per_rss‘ and return -1

    Including an example:

    Show x Posts per page

    Display 3 posts per page:

    $query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=3' );

    or as i would put it:

    $args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 3
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
    while( $query->have_posts() ) {
        $query->the_post();
        // display the post
    }
}

    Notice how the main loop is the same as when using query_posts, only I’ve added $query-> to the beginning of have_posts and the_post?

    You can now modify the parameters to add in your tax query

    $args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 3,
    'tax_query' => array(
        ...etc
    )
);

  2. You want posts_per_page instead:

    $myquery = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 3,
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'section',
            'terms' => array( 'futbol' ),
            'field' => 'slug',
        ),
    ),
);

  3. This works, thanks Tom 🙂

            <?php
        $args = array(
            'posts_per_page' => 2,
            'tax_query' => array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'section',
                    'field' => 'slug',
                    'terms' => array('futbol'),
                         )
                )
            );
        $query = new WP_Query( $args );

       if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
            while( $query->have_posts() ) {
                $query->the_post();

         //The Post

            }
        }
        ?>
