Show posts from custom taxonomy - wordpress

Question

Update 2
Adding name as field instead of the slug and adding the_title() just give me an echo of the page title...
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'feestlocaties',
'showposts' => '3',
'orderby' => 'rand',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'locatie',
'field' => 'name',
'terms' => the_title(),
),
),
);
Update Jonnhyd23's code worked like a charm!! Thanks!
Is there a way you can make the terms dynamic? Like the title is Amsterdam can I do something like 'terms' => '<?php the_title(); ?>' or something like that?
I've been going at this for the last couple of hours. Maybe someone here can help me?
I want to show specif posts from a custom taxonomy in a loop.
This is the situation:
custom taxonomy: feestlocaties
And the the posts i want to show have Amsterdam selected (checked) (like categories).
Code i tried:
<div id="main-filter">
<!-- Start the Loop. -->
<?php $args = array(
'post_type' => 'feestlocaties',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'locatie',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'amsterdam',
),
),
); ?>
<?php $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if( $query->have_posts() ): while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- Test if the current post is in category 3. -->
<!-- If it is, the div box is given the CSS class "post-cat-three". -->
<!-- Otherwise, the div box is given the CSS class "post". -->
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<div class="container post-item">
<div class="col-sm-3 no-padding">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : // Check if thumbnail exists ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(400,355)); // Declare pixel size you need inside the array ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 no-padding">
<h1 class="overzicht"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_index'); ?>
<div class="col-sm-12 no-padding loop-overzicht">
<?php $prijs = get_Field('vanaf_prijs'); ?>
<?php $pers = get_Field('aantal_personen'); ?>
<?php $time = get_Field('tijdsduur'); ?>
<ul class="loop-opsomming text-right">
<li><?php echo '<i class="fa fa-euro"></i>Vanaf ' . $prijs . ' p.p.' ?></li>
<li><?php echo '<i class="fa fa-group"></i>Vanaf ' . $pers . ' personen' ?></li>
<li><?php echo '<i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i>Vanaf ' . $time . ' uur' ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</a>
<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
But nothing is showing. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you just showing the arguments you're using for WP_Query, or is this all of your code? Try using the tax_query parameter.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'your_post_type',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'feestlocaties',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'amsterdam',
),
),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $query->have_posts() ): while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
//execute code
endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();

Answer 2

So, I fiddeld around abit and this is the code that works for me. Cheers Johnnyd23
<?php $args = array(
'post_type' => 'feestlocaties',
'showposts' => '3',
'orderby' => 'rand',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'locatie',
'field' => 'name',
'terms' => get_the_title(),
),
),
); ?>
<?php $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if( $query->have_posts() ): while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post(); ?>
This will make the title the post dynamicly in the WP_Query.
