I currently have a function pulled from WPBeginner which allows me to create a shortcode which pulls the stickied posts on the site wherever I want.
I am in need of this to also show the featured image but not sure how to get this to work currently. The current shortcode is below:
function wpb_latest_sticky() {
/* Get all sticky posts */
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
/* Sort the stickies with the newest ones at the top */
rsort( $sticky );
/* Get the 5 newest stickies (change 5 for a different number) */
$sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 1 );
/* Query sticky posts */
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 ) );
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$return .= '<ul>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$return .= '<li>' . get_the_title() . '<br />' . get_the_excerpt(). '</li>';
}
$return .= '</ul>';
} else {
// no posts found
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
return $return;
}
add_shortcode('latest_stickies', 'wpb_latest_sticky');
This is how I pull it on post pages:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() && !is_search() ) { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( esc_html__( 'Permalink to ', 'quark' ) . '%s', the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'post_feature_full_width' ); ?>
</a>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$return .= '<li>' . get_the_title() . '<br />' . get_the_excerpt() . '<br/>' . get_the_post_thumbnail() . '</li>';
}

I added a Field Group using ACF plugin to the default WP Category Add/Edit screen so that I can add additional values to categories such as category icon/background image, checkbox to displayed on home or not and assign it as one of the popular categories.
I'm trying to list all the categories on the homepage based on popularity checkbox along with their icon and background image.
I have two image fields such as category_icon for storing category icon and category_bg_image for storing category background image.
Below is the code where I'm able to list the Categories however the custom field values of icon and background image isn't showing.
if (have_posts() ) :
while (have_posts() ) : the_post();
$args=array(
'hide_empty' => '0',
'meta_key' => 'popular_services_category'
);
$categories=get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '<li>' . $category->name . '</li>';
global $post;
$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'category');
if( !empty($terms) )
{
$term = array_pop($terms);
$custom_field = get_field('category_icon', 'category_' . $term->term_id );
echo '<li>' . $custom_field['url'] . '</li>';
}
}
endwhile;
I was able to solve the issue with little modification and I am posting it here for others to be helpful.
if (have_posts() ) :
while (have_posts() ) : the_post();
$args=array(
'hide_empty' => '0',
'meta_key' => 'popular_services_category'
);
$categories=get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category)
{
echo '<li>' . $category->name . '</li>';
$image = get_field('category_icon', $category->taxonomy . '_' .
$category->term_id );
$image_bg = get_field('category_bg_image', $category->taxonomy . '_' . $category->term_id );
// Check if the image exists
if ( $image ) : ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" />
<img src="<?php echo $image_bg['url']; ?>" />
endif;
}
endwhile;
I'm trying to display an ACF field within a Wordpress loop using functions.php to create a shortcode. Unfortunately, the_field('conference_location') does not display.
function show_conferences_func() {
global $post;
$html = "";
$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'product_cat' => 'conferences'
));
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
$html .= "<div class=\"conference-block\">";
$html .= "<h2>" . get_the_title() . " </h2>";
$hmtl .= "<p>" . the_field('conference_location') . "</p>";
$html .= "Learn more";
$html .= "</div>";
endwhile; endif;
return $html;
}
add_shortcode( 'show_conferences', 'show_conferences_func' );
You should use
get_field('conference_location')
instead of
the_field('conference_location')
the_field() echo your data. So you're not storing your value.
I can't seem to pull a ACF image object for a custom taxonomy when used in this loop, which is made of echo blocks:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
$terms = get_terms( 'product_type' );
$image = get_field('product_type_tax_image');
$hero_image = $image['sizes']['medium'];
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
// The $term is an object, so we don't need to specify the $taxonomy.
$term_link = get_term_link( $term );
// If there was an error, continue to the next term.
if ( is_wp_error( $term_link ) ) {
continue;
}
var_dump($hero_image);
// We successfully got a link. Print it out.
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $term_link ) . '" class="product-grid- block" style="' . $hero_image[0] . '">';
echo '<div class="product-grid-inner-txt-wrap">';
echo '<h4>' . $term->name . '</h4>';
echo '<p>' . $term->description . '</p>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</a>';
}
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
The var dump just returns NULL. I've looked at this and this but don't seem to help. What am I doing wrong?
Take a look at this article:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/
To pull a custom field from a Taxonomy Term, you need to add a second item to your get_field function call. Like this:
$image = get_field('product_type_tax_image', $term );
Also, it looks like you're trying to loop through $terms, but you're grabbing the custom field's value outside of your foreach loop, so that should get moved inside that loop, like so:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
$terms = get_terms( 'product_type' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
//get $term's image
$image = get_field('product_type_tax_image', $term );
$hero_image = $image['sizes']['medium'];
// The $term is an object, so we don't need to specify the $taxonomy.
$term_link = get_term_link( $term );
// If there was an error, continue to the next term.
if ( is_wp_error( $term_link ) ) {
continue;
}
var_dump($hero_image);
// We successfully got a link. Print it out.
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $term_link ) . '" class="product-grid- block" style="' . $hero_image[0] . '">';
echo '<div class="product-grid-inner-txt-wrap">';
echo '<h4>' . $term->name . '</h4>';
echo '<p>' . $term->description . '</p>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</a>';
}
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
I'm working on a site that has custom author pages and on the author pages it has a recent author posts widget which displays other posts by that author. This site has multiple authors so it is different for every post and I haven't found a plugin that does this. I'm trying to display the post thumbnail, title, and category name.
I'm using a function that is displaying the title and the thumbnail, but it doesn't have the category . I tried to add the category in with: the_category(' ','multiple',$authors_post->ID) unfortunately it displays all of the categories in the first li. Instead of for each post.
Here is what I'm working with:
function get_related_author_posts() {
global $authordata, $post;
$authors_posts = get_posts( array( 'author' => $authordata->ID,
'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ), 'posts_per_page' => 3 ) );
$output = '<ul>';
foreach ( $authors_posts as $authors_post ) {
$output .= '<li>' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $authors_post->ID, 'xsmall-thumb' )
. '<p>' . the_category(' ','multiple',$authors_post->ID)
. '</p> <a href="' . get_permalink( $authors_post->ID )
. '">' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $authors_post->post_title,
$authors_post->ID ) . '</a></li>';
}
$output .= '</ul>';
return $output;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
Please try this code,
<?php
$cat=1;
$yourcat = get_category($cat);
if ($yourcat)
{
echo '<h2>' . $yourcat->name . '</h2>';
}
?>
To get category name,
try some thing like
function get_related_author_posts() {
global $authordata, $post;
$authors_posts = get_posts( array( 'author' => $authordata->ID, 'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ), 'posts_per_page' => 3 ) );
$output = '<ul>';
foreach ( $authors_posts as $authors_post ) {
$category = get_the_category($authors_post->ID);
foreach($category as $c){
$cat=$c->cat_name.' '.$cat;
}
$output .= '<li>' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $authors_post->ID, 'xsmall-thumb' ) . '<p>' . $cat . '</p> ' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $authors_post->post_title, $authors_post->ID ) . '</li>';
}
$output .= '</ul>';
return $output;
}
hope this work for you..
I want to remove the nofollow code from the latest posts displayed in the sidebar. I found that the code which adds rel=nofollow tag to latest post is located here
theme folder/example theme/lib/activity/plugin.php.
Here is the exact code:
private function get_latest_posts( $post_count ) {
// Get the latest posts
$latest_posts = get_posts(
array(
'numberposts' => $post_count,
'order' => 'desc',
'orderby' => 'date'
)
);
// Create the markup for the listing
$html = '<div class="tab-pane" id="recent">';
$html .= '<ul class="latest-posts">';
if( count( $latest_posts ) > 0 ) {
foreach( $latest_posts as $post ) {
$html .= '<li class="clearfix">';
// Add the small featured image
if( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {
$html .= '<a class="latest-post-tn fademe" href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" rel="nofollow">';
$html .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, array( 50, 50 ) );
$html .= '</a>';
} // end if
$html .='<div class="latest-meta">';
// Add the title
$html .= '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" rel="nofollow">';
$html .= get_the_title( $post->ID );
$html .= '</a>';
// Add date posted
// If there's no title, then we need to turn the date into the link
if( strlen( get_the_title( $post->ID ) ) == 0 ) {
$html .= '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" rel="nofollow">';
} // end if
$html .= '<span class="latest-date">';
$html .= get_the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $post->ID );
$html .= '</span>';
// Close the anchor
if(strlen( get_the_title( $post->ID ) ) == 0 ) {
$html .= '</a>';
} // end if
$html .='</div>';
$html .= '</li>';
} // end foreach
} else {
$html .= '<li>';
$html .= '<p class="no-posts">' . __( "You have no recent posts.", 'standard' ) . '</p>';
$html .= '</li>';
} // end if/else
$html .= '</ul>';
$html .= '</div>';
return $html;
} // end get_latest_posts
Now please tell me how to remove the nofollow tag from this code using the child theme?
Since you have control of the child theme, you can wrap the call to display the widget zone for that widget with something that grabs the output, performs a regex search/replace on it, and outputs the result. I wrote a blog post about that recently:
Filtering the output of WordPress widgets
The basics are that you have a function that replaces dynamic_sidebar() with your own function, like this:
function theme_dynamic_sidebar($index = 1) {
// capture output from the widgets
ob_start();
$result = dynamic_sidebar($index);
$out = ob_get_clean();
// do regex search/replace on $out
echo $out;
return $result;
}
Seems that you are out of luck.
That's a private function and no filter hooks are offered by the theme author.
You may try to override the include('path/to/plugin.php'); and include your own modified version.
