WordPress Shouldn't Mess with post_type

[filosofo]

I have a custom post_type, "restaurant," and I'd like to query for the "restaurant" with name "joes-diner".

query_posts(array(
   'post_type' => 'restaurant',
   'name' => 'joes-diner',
));

fails because WP sees that I'm querying by name, sets $wp_query->is_single to true, which in turn sets post_type to "post."

If I wanted post_type to be "post" I wouldn't have specified "restaurant", would I?

Patch uses the given post_type when specified.

I swear i've written that patch before.

Wouldnt it be better off written as:

{{{{
if ( 'any' == $post_type ) {
...
} elseif ( ! empty($post_type) ) {
$where .= " AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = '$post_type'";
} elseif ( is_page....
}}}

But I'm pretty sure it was written like that for a reason.. And i'm 100% certain theres other tickets for this

that code again..

if ( 'any' == $post_type ) {
   ...
} elseif ( ! empty($post_type) ) {
   $where .= " AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = '$post_type'"; 
} elseif ( is_page....

I may've been thinking of #8872 or #5740 But i know i've come across this before, and modified it in the way i mentioned. It may be that i never submitted a patch for it though.

Yours is more efficient. I've added it as a patch.

(In [11817]) Always respect custom post_type in queries. props dd32, filosofo. fixes #10605

sorry i am not familar with trac so i do not know if i should reopen it..

11817 - breaks my pages

Confirmed. I'm just going to work out whats causing it..

Its defaulting to 'post' which fufils the !empty() check.. See patch

I'm also a bit suspicious of the $post_type = 'any' on line 1963: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/query.php#L1963 It'll prevent querying for any objects of type x which are in a taxonomy, ie. i ask for Posts assoc. with Term5 and i'll receive Posts and Pages assoc. with Term5.. (I think)

I've done some basic testing on this.. in that posts/pages/attachments are queried correctly.

• Not sure what that !empty() change is for.. (Must've been there awhile then)
• But that post -> empty string seems to do the trick

(In [11822]) Fix displaying pages and attachments, props dd32, see #10605

(In [11960]) Set the cap appropriate to the post type. fixes #10807 see #10605

Fixed?
