get posts within get_terms loop - wordpress

Question

I have a basic loop set up to display all terms in a custom taxonomy.
<?php
$workshops = get_terms( 'workshop', array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'hide_empty' => 0,
) );
foreach ( $workshops as $workshop ) { ?>
<h3><?php echo $workshop->name; ?></h3>
<?php echo term_description($workshop); ?>
<?php } ?>
How can I display all posts for each respective term within that loop?
For example..
Taxonomy is Movies. Terms are Comedy, Horror, etc.
I'd like output to be
Comedy
Description for comedy term
Movie 1
Movie 2
Horror
Description for horror term
Movie 3
Movie 4
Thanks! Rich

Answer 1

First off, you are using a deprecated version of get_terms so we should fix that first:
$workshops = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => 'workshop',
'orderby' => 'name',
'hide_empty' => false
) );
Then, within your term loop, you need to create another query to grab all the posts that fall under the term:
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post', // Or your custom post type's slug
'posts_per_page' => -1, // Do not paginate posts
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'workshop',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => $workshop->term_id
)
)
) );
Finally, still within your term loop, write another loop to build the lists of posts:
<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ): ?>
<ul class="term-post-list" id="term-<?php echo $workshop->term_id; ?>-posts">
<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post(); ?>
<li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
