Question

Just came across an issue with my WordPress template that I can’t figure out. I am using a custom built menu (done simply with a quick query_posts() call), but when searching for certain terms, my query is affected. Not a clue as to why.

Here’s my menu code:

<?php $main_cats=explode(",",$options['main_cats']); ?> 
<?php $myargs = array('post_type' => 'page', 'post__in'=>$main_cats,'order'=>'ASC'); ?>
<?php query_posts($myargs);
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query();?>

This should end up with 4 menu items. However, when searching for a few “job” related items, it seems that the Job Manager plugin steps in (http://pento.net/projects/wordpress-job-manager-plugin/) and I get one menu result stating “This job doesn’t exist”. However, I don’t understand how that plugin could possible affect my query.

Any thoughts?

This code assume that $main_cats has the right data, before testing this, check that the variable is correct:

<?php 
$main_cats=explode(",",$options['main_cats']);
$menu_items=get_posts(array('post_type' => 'page', 'post__in'=>$main_cats,'order'=>'ASC'));
foreach($menu_items as $menu_item){ ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($menu_item->ID); ?>"><?php echo $menu_item->post_title; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
