I want to display the title from a parent field within a single child post (these are custom posts created with wp-types).
At the moment, all I seem to get is the title of the current post, and not the parent.
Below is my markup.
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="the-copy">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<div class="parent-title">
<?php
$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
echo $parent_title;
?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Am I doing something wrong or have I missed something?
Thanks for you help, from what I can see this should be simple but it's just not working for me.
Managed to find the solution here
Essentially, as I was using the Types plugin standard parent / child wordpress code wouldn't work

I tried every single possible way to remove my feature images from my single posts while keeping the images when you visit my home page.
First of all I tried to use the following code:
.single-post .attachment-post-thumbnail {
display: none;
}
Along with many other in my style.css or single post file without any success.
This is in my single.php file:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="container">
<div id="content">
<div id="main" <?php if(get_theme_mod('sp_post_layout') == 'full') : ?>class="fullwidth"<?php endif; ?>>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('content'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(get_theme_mod('sp_post_layout') == 'full') : else : ?><?php get_sidebar(); ?><?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Let me know what part you need from my CSS perhaps if you could help?
I am really desperate to solve this :(

When I visit my blog posts the sidebar is below content and not at the side, my website is not live yet so I cannot show you that but if you could help I would really appreciate it.

Have a look at standard.php in includes/post-formats/ and you should find something like <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); }?> which you can remove.
I'd like my homepage to display my latest posts which are portfolio projects of mine. Beneath these project thumbnails I've got my static content which I'm using the Repeater add-on from Advanced Custom Fields to grab. I cant get it all to work on the same page... either get the blog to work or the ACF stuff to work. Never both because one needs to be a designated static page and one needs to be a posts page. I don't understand how to tie it together and make it appear as one page.
I've experimented with the settings in the reading panel..
I've tried using front-page.php
I've read up on the WP hierarchy etc
I've tried using templates...
I've tried wp_reset_postdata(); which I read about elsewhere on Stack Overflow.
What settings must I use in the reading panel. Do I need to use a template file?
Here's the code I'm working with, I've split the code between templates and different files already, but just for ease of reading its all together here (maybe that's the right way to do it anyway, I wouldn't know..)
<!-- The posts/portfolio items -->
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div>
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<ul>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<!-- Permalink,title and post thumbnail here (omitted) -->
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php else: ?>
<h2>No Posts found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- Now for the ACF Stuff -->
<?php if(get_field('care_list')): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('care_list')): ?>
<div class="grid_2 what-i-care-about gap">
<div class="important-img-container">
<?php the_sub_field('care_list_image'); ?>
</div>
<h3><?php the_sub_field('care_list_title'); ?></h3>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Please help a frustrated learner! Thanks in advance.
It looks like you're going to need to add the post id of your 'home page' (the one with the ACF repeater on it) to the get_field() function like so:
<?php $post_id = **post_id_of_your_homepage_here**; ?>
<?php if(get_field('care_list', $post_id)): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('care_list')): ?>
<div class="grid_2 what-i-care-about gap">
<div class="important-img-container">
<?php the_sub_field('care_list_image'); ?>
</div>
<h3><?php the_sub_field('care_list_title'); ?></h3>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This is because the $post_id parameter defaults to the current post being brought up by wordpress, which means ACF is looking for the repeater on the last Portfolio item/post you are displaying. If you set the $post_id parameter to the ID of your homepage, ACF will instead look for the repeater on that page.

If I'm understanding correctly, you have a bunch of posts and you want to display a list of them with title and post thumbnail on your homepage, and then display a custom field you've assigned to the homepage underneath the list of posts?
Step 1: Create a new page template by copying page.php, changing the name to homepage.php and adding this to the top:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Homepage
*/ ?>
Step 2: Crete a Wordpress page called "Homepage" and in the attributes module in the right sidebar of the page creation tool, select "Homepage" as your page template.
Step 3: In your reading settings, change the front page from posts page to "Homepage." Now your homepage is your page called "Homepage."
Step 4: Make something like this the full code on your new page template homepage.php. It will output your posts list followed by your page custom field:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(get_field('repeater_field_name')): ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('repeater_field_name')): ?>
<?php the_sub_field('sub_field_1'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
My code:
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="posts" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content();?>
</div>
</div><!--post end-->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h3>no content</h3>
<?php endif; ?>
I put the code into my customed wordpress theme file single.php. Why it can't output the post content, it can output the post title. thank you.
You can try the following to see if it works instead of the_content
<?php echo wpautop($post->post_content); ?> // content with p tags
<?php echo $post->post_content; ?> //without p tags
Also an option
<?php echo wpautop( get_the_content() ); ?> // content with p tags
see if that works for you.
When developing Wordpress themes it's advisable for you to switch the debug mode (found on your installation's root in wp-config.php) to true. This will alert you if you have any errors.
In your case, try out the <?php the_excerpt(); ?>.
Also, this may sound a bit dumb, but do you actually have posts? Not pages or rather content in that post?
Many a times i have come across queries from developers or first time theme developers about not able to show the_content() on their custom template page.
The issue is that the_content() function runs inside the WP loop so for example
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
the_content();
}
} ?>
This will work, but in some cases you want to call the function outside the loop – the solution for that is:
echo $post->post_content;
i have a WordPress template page, which shows header, footer and sidebar, but the content not showing up anyone can help?
<?php
/**
* Template Name: Template 2
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="main_right" style="float:right;">
<?php get_sidebar(1); ?>
</div>
<div style="float:left">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php echo the_content();?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Is this within your wordpress loop? It has to be in order for the_content to work.
Also, you don't need to echo the function, just place it in your file like so…
<?php the_content(); ?>
Also, why would you want to wrap the content in <p> tags? Wordpress does this for you automatically. If you want to wrap it something a <div> would be much better, probably with a class or id for css use.
Have you had a look at the wordpress codex? - http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content
So i'm quite a beginner, trying to make a custom theme. In a page i want to have a gallery. Uploaded images, made a gallery all fine.
When I view the page it outputs only the shortcode:
[gallery orderby="post_date"]
my page.php file basically has:
<?php $content = get_page( $page_id ) ?>
<div id='content' class='shadow'>
<div id='innercontent'>
<!---page title-->
<?php echo "<h1>".$content->post_title."</h1><br>" ; ?>
<?php echo $content->post_content ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I really don't understand how to get this to show correctly, any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Matt
get_page returns the raw page data. There are a few ways to do what you want:
BAD WAY:
<?php $content = get_page( $page_id ) ?>
<div id='content' class='shadow'>
<div id='innercontent'>
<!---page title-->
<?php echo "<h1>".$content->post_title."</h1><br>" ; ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode($content->post_content); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
do_shortcode() renders all registered shortcode that's found within a given string. In this case, your page's content will have all shortcode rendered before being written to the document. I say this is the "bad" way, only because it doesn't follow the usual Wordpress format. Which leads us to the:
BETTER WAY:
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id='content' class='shadow'>
<div id='innercontent'>
<!---page title-->
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1><br>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile;endif; ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
This is what's called "The Loop". It is pretty much the standard for all Wordpress Themes in retrieving all Post or Page Data, as well as running queries against the database.
I would suggest getting to know it, as well as running Wordpress queries to modify the loop using WP Query. This is getting into a more complex area of Wordpress, but it will help you in the longrun with figuring out how to gather up all of the posts and pages you want to retrieve in your theme that aren't provided by Wordpress' globals.
Good luck.
