Need help with CPT archive page

[mmjaeger]

hello

I was following basically some function I found over at wpsites.com but I'm struggling:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_type_archive' );

function custom_post_type_archive( $query ) {

if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && is_post_type_archive( 'portfolio' ) ) {

		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '6' );
		$query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
                $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
	}

}

I want to show all posts on that page - however it always only shows the number I've set on the WP Readings Settings page?

Second, I've a few custom fields and I'd like to sort the output based on the values of TWO fields - one being numeric and other one alpha.

Hope somebody can help.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Replace this line

$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '6' );

by

$query->set( 'nopaging', true );

As to the sorting question, I kind of got it to work:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'ta_custom_post_type_archive' );
function ta_custom_post_type_archive( $query ) {
	
	// do not modify queries in the admin
	if ( is_admin() )
		return $query;
		
	if ( $query->is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive( 'ta_member' ) ) {
		
 		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', -1 );	
		$query->set( 'meta_key', 'member_order' );
		$query->set( 'meta_query', array(
			array(
				'key'	=> 'member_order',
			),
			array(
				'key'	=> 'member_last_name',
			)
		));
	    
	    add_filter( 'posts_orderby', 'customorderby' );
	    
	    return $query;
	    
	}
	

}

function customorderby( $orderby ) {
	return 'mt1.meta_value+0 ASC, mt2.meta_value ASC';
	remove_filter( 'posts_orderby', 'customorderby' );
}

didn't have a chance to check whether the code messes up anything else - where's the best place to put the add_filter... and the remove_filter...?

Thanks again
