Hi there I am developing a theme where I have to load some posts with ajax, in my index page everything works properly, the problem is when I need to use it on custom post type, I pass the values for a jquery file using wp_localize_script, it pass the correct value when I have regular posts, but it always pass 0 when I have a custom post type. Can you help me? Many thanks.
Code to pass arguments to my jQuery script
function core_ajax_init() {
global $wp_query;
// Add code to index pages.
if( !is_admin() ) { //!is_singular()
// Enqueue jQuery Script to Process Ajax
wp_enqueue_script(
'core_custom',
get_template_directory_uri(). '/core/js/ajax-load-posts.js',
array('jquery'),
'1.0',
true
);
// What page are we on? And what is the pages limit?
$max = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') > 1 ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
//echo $max;
// Add some parameters for the JS.
wp_localize_script(
'core_custom',
'core',
array(
'startPage' => $paged,
'maxPages' => $max,
'nextLink' => next_posts($max, false)
)
);
}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'core_ajax_init');
The following is a template where I call to print the button to load more posts
<?php
global $wp_query;
$found_posts = $wp_query->found_posts;
$per_page = get_option('posts_per_page');
$post_count = $found_posts - $per_page;
if($found_posts > $per_page) :
?>
<div class="row" id="load-more" data-order='999'>
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="load-more-btn">
<a id="load-more-btn" href="#">
<span id="detail-holder">
<div id="loader" data-perpage="<?php echo $per_page; ?>"></div>
<div class="load-more-text"><?php _e('Click here to load more', CORE_THEME_NAME); ?></div>
</span>
</a>
</div>
</div> <!-- /.col-md-12 -->
</div> <!-- /.row -->
<?php endif; ?>
And here I have a snippet where I make a custom query for a specific post type
global $wp_query;
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$wp_query = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'course', 'order' => 'DESC', 'orderby' => 'date', 'paged' => $paged ));
if($wp_query->have_posts()): ?>
The problem here is it seems no matter how many pages I have wp_query var here always return 0 to my function core_ajax_init(), if I have regular posts it returns the correct number of pages but for custom post type it always returns 0. Why? Thank you for your answers.
