I try to modify the Query in custom post type archives created in Toolset->Wordpress Archives with "wpv_filter_query" filter hook. It is possible? This code didn't work (it's nothing changing on page):

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'modify_text_testimonials_query', 101, 3 );
function modify_text_testimonials_query( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
if( is_post_type_archive( 'text-testimonials' ) ){
$query_args['post__in'] = my_custom_array(1, 2, 3);
$query_args['orderby'] = 'post__in';

}
return $query_args;
}

I was try to modify code like Minesh wrote here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/display-only-the-latest-post-with-duplicated-taxonomy/
But this code didn't work too (it's nothing changing on page).

Basically, i prepare array with post ID's, ordered by current site language (WPML). And after, i want to replace the $query_args['post__in'] with that array. How to do that with "View Archives" feature?

Here is my code to prepare array with ID's:

function sort_text_testimonials_by_language() {

$post_ids = array();
$current_page_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );

$current_page_language_post_ids = get_posts( [
'post_type' => 'text-testimonials',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_key' => 'wpcf-original-language',
'meta_value' => $current_page_language,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'fields' => 'ids',
'order' => "DESC",
'orderby' => 'date'
] );

$all_post_ids = get_posts( [
'post_type' => 'text-testimonials',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'wpcf-original-language',
'value' => $current_page_language,
'compare' => '!=',
'type' => 'CHAR'
)
),
'fields' => 'ids',
'order' => "DESC",
'orderby' => 'date'
] );

$post_ids_merged = array_merge( $current_page_language_post_ids, $all_post_ids );
$post_ids = array_unique( $post_ids_merged );

return $post_ids;

}

WordPress archives do not support the Views API.
Only pre_get_posts will work on archives.

You can, however, add queries to the Archive by setting them in the Toolset WordPress archive, if you enable the full custom view (Screen options of the archive)
There, you can add queries by fields, terms, and more.
