如何使用'$ args = array（）'调用WordPress类别

Question

In the interest of making my code as readable as possible, I have structured some coding as follows:

$args = array (
    'type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'offset' => 1,
    'category_name' => 'news',
    );

$lastBlog = new WP_Query($args);

Does anyone see a problem with this coding? For some reason, my 'category_name' argument is not being recognised and causing the whole code to not be recognised. As a method of elimination process, I removed the 'category_name' => 'news', statement and the remaining coding then become recognised.

Any suggestions on where I am going wrong? I have also tried targeting category ID but still run into the same issue.

Thanks.

Answer 1

the category_name takes the slug, are you sure the slug is also 'news'

What happens if you use cat => [cat_id]?

Do you get the same null response?
Your offset is 1, is it possible you only have 1 post in news at the moment?
