loop - Alter query using pre_get_posts() if meta_key is present

I am trying to modify the number of posts per page for archive pages that contain category sticky posts (added by the Category Sticky post plugin)

to do so I am using the pre_get_postshook and have tried the following :

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_set_category_posts_per_page' );

function my_set_category_posts_per_page( $query ) {

  global $wp_the_query;

  if ( 'category_sticky_post' === $query->get( 'meta_key' ) && ! is_paged ) {

        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 8 );

  }

  return $query;
}

I var_dump($query) I do get [meta_key] => category_sticky_post in the query_vars but I can't sort out how to use it.

Another idea is to use something like this:

function my_set_category_posts_per_page( $query ) {

  $args = array(
        array(
            'key'     => 'category_sticky_post',
            'compare' => 'EXISTS'
        )
    );
    $meta_query = new WP_Meta_Query($args);

    if ( 'category_sticky_post' === $query->get('meta_query', $meta_query) && ! is_paged() ) {

       $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 8 );

    }
}

How would I alter the query only when the meta key is present for the posts in the current query?

• 1 Is the key/value [meta_key] => category_sticky_post nested under query_vars in the $query object? I think your condition should look more like 'category_sticky_post' === $query->query_vars['meta_key'] – jdm2112 Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 18:26
• it is indeed. Thanks, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to test it. I think I did try that but I'm not sure now. It looks like it should work. – mantis Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 19:41
• So when I var_dump($query->query_vars['meta_key']) I do get category_sticky_postbut however the condition doesn't return true. – mantis Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 8:09
• How about posting a dump of the entire $query object to Gist or Pastebin, etc? Can't guarantee a solution but I'm happy to take a deeper look. – jdm2112 Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 14:20
• That would be great. I would love another pair of eyes on it. I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks :) – mantis Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 20:04

Based on data from your Gist, the following pre_get_posts condition should work to limit your posts per page.

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_set_category_posts_per_page' );

function my_set_category_posts_per_page() {
    global $wp_query;

    if ( 'category_sticky_post' === $wp_query->query_vars['meta_key'] ) {
      $wp_query->set( 'posts_per_page', 8 );
    }
}
