Question

I have the following query which returns a list of 8 post ids for wordpress, i want to then take those 8 ids and match them to the id’s from the wp_posts table and get * details so i can echo post titles and all that, is there a way i can do that in one query? .. here is what i currently have

SELECT postid FROM wp_popularpostsdata WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 60 DAY) <= day 
AND wp_popularpostsdata.postid NOT IN (
SELECT object_id
FROM wp_term_relationships AS r
    JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS x ON x.term_taxonomy_id = r.term_taxonomy_id
    JOIN wp_terms AS t ON t.term_id = x.term_id
WHERE   x.taxonomy = 'category'
AND t.term_id IN (3,1)) 
GROUP BY postid                                     
ORDER BY pageviews DESC LIMIT 8;

Cheeers,

Answer 1

Have you tried joining the tables?

SELECT postid, wp_posts.* FROM wp_popularpostsdata 
LEFT JOIN wp_posts ON wp_posts.id = wp_popularpostsdata.postid 
WHERE 
   DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 60 DAY) <= day AND 
   wp_popularpostsdata.postid NOT IN (
      SELECT object_id
      FROM wp_term_relationships AS r
      JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS x ON x.term_taxonomy_id = r.term_taxonomy_id
      JOIN wp_terms AS t ON t.term_id = x.term_id
      WHERE   
       x.taxonomy = 'category' AND 
       t.term_id IN (3,1)) 
GROUP BY postid                                     
ORDER BY pageviews DESC LIMIT 8;

Replace wp_posts.id with the key field in wp_posts
