Use of genesis_custom_loop_args

[Joan]

Hi there!

I'm trying to use the genesis_custom_loop_args filter. Something easy, like:

// modify loop to display only sticky posts
add_filter( 'genesis_custom_loop_args', 'jb_home_query_sticky_only' );
function jb_home_query_sticky_only( $args ) {
        $args['post__in'] = get_option('sticky_posts');
        return $args;
}

The thing is that it's not working at all. I tried it in a plugin, I tried it in functions.php, and nothing. I tried with some other arguments, but the loop is always the same.

Am I missing something?

Hi Brad!

Yeah, that solution works. Thanks so much! But I don't want to remove the loop and create my own.

I just want to use the filter "genesis_custom_loop_args". It doesn't seem to be working at all, or maybe I'm missing something.

Any hints, anyone?

Ok, never mind. I found out that it ONLY works if you are using genesis_custom_loop. It doesn't modify the default loop.

So first I have to remove the main loop anyway

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_custom_loop' );

Then I can use genesis_custom_loop_args 🙂
