I am using JetPack’s Infinite Scroll for the post display with updated args for the display of posts.
To update the post display on different pages I want to be able to control the category of the posts that are displayed. Here is the code:
function mm_infinite_scroll_query_args($args) {
if ( get_field('page_cat') ) {
$page_cat = get_field('page_cat');
$new_args = array(
'posts_per_page' => $args['posts_per_page'],
'paged' => $args['paged'],
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'cat' => $page_cat,
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'features', 'it_hardware', 'videos' ),
'post_status' => 'publish',
);
return $new_args;
else {
$new_args = array(
'posts_per_page' => $args['posts_per_page'],
'paged' => $args['paged'],
'orderby' => 'date',
'cat' => 5,
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'features', 'it_hardware', 'videos' ),
'post_status' => 'publish',
);
return $new_args;
}
}
Because infinite scroll runs off the page the code is all in the functions.php file hence why I want to access a field on the page which links to the loop arguments.
