I have a global post query running, but for some reason my custom meta is not being output. When I try to call it inside a typical WordPress loop it works, but not in my code below. Is there any reason why this would be the case? Been trying to figure it out for an hour now....
<?php global $post; $cntr = 0; $myposts = get_posts('&post_type=go-deeper&posts_per_page=12');
foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);?>
<li class="<?php echo "slide_" . $cntr; ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?></li>
<?php $cntr++; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I just re-wrote the query and it works now:
<?php if(have_posts()): $cntr = 0;?>
<?php query_posts('&post_type=go-deeper&posts_per_page=12');?>
<?php while(have_posts()):the_post();?>
<?php $deeper_link = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'll_deeper_link', true ); ?>
<li class="<?php echo "slide_" . $cntr; ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?>
</li>
<?php $cntr++; ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php endif;?>

In a post (single.php) I want to list other posts in the category that post is included in.
<?php
$category = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
$cat_id = $category->cat_ID;
?>
<ul>
<?php query_posts( 'showposts=5&orderby=date&cat=$cat_id' ); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
Articles in all categories come with this code. However, I only want the articles in the category to which that post belongs to be listed.
I found the solution.
<ul>
<?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) :
$cat= $category->cat_ID
?>
<?php $args = 'cat=' . $cat . '&orderby=date&order=ASC'; ?>
<?php query_posts( $args );?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php
the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Everything about query_post () is here : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/query_posts/
I have an ACF repeater, which repeats post objects. I am changing the postdata to the post object rather than the page so that i can get the title and thumbnail image. This works perfectly for the first one, however the subsequent objects pull the correct thumbnail but the title is pulled from the page title.
Heres the code:
<?php if( have_rows('service_repeater') ): ?>
<?php while ( have_rows('service_repeater') ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php $post_object = get_sub_field('service'); ?>
<?php if( $post_object ): ?>
<?php $post = $post_object; ?>
<?php setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) ); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="service">
<div class="background" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $url; ?>');"></div>
<div class="content">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_field('read_more_text'); ?></p>
</div>
</a>
<?php unset($post_object, $post); ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, so i removed the <?php unset($post_object, $post); ?> and it works now. Im concerned that this will give me trouble later down the line with variables however.
I'd like to display the results of an ACF repeater field on child pages. An example of the current code:
<?php if( have_rows('recommended-properties') ): ?>
<?php while ( have_rows('recommended-properties') ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('recommended-properties-title'); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('recommended-properties-description'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Now, I thought I may be able to store the parent page ID in a variable and use that the same way you can get values from another post (see: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to-get-values-from-another-post/)
I tried the following:
<?php $parentPageId = wp_get_post_parent_id( $post_ID ); ?>
<?php if( have_rows('recommended-properties', echo $parentPageId;) ): ?>
<?php while ( have_rows('recommended-properties', echo $parentPageId;) ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('recommended-properties-title'); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('recommended-properties-description'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
But no luck unfortunately. Any suggestions for where I can go from here?
Many thanks!
You don't need add echo when you add parameter in function
try below code
<?php $parentPageId = wp_get_post_parent_id( $post_ID ); ?>
<?php if( have_rows('recommended-properties', $parentPageId) ): ?>
<?php while ( have_rows('recommended-properties', $parentPageId) ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('recommended-properties-title'); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('recommended-properties-description'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I am trying to group the posts by Category in a Monthly archive but don't know how to achieve that.
Can someone here help me please.
Regards
This is the php code I am using in archive.php
<?php
$terms = get_terms("publicationcat");
$count = count($terms);
if ( $count > 0 ){
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo "<div class=\"publication-area\">";
echo '<h3 class="term-heading">' . $term->name . '</h3>';
echo "<div class=\"publication-txt\">";
echo "<ul>";
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo "<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"" . wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'document_file_id', true)) . "\">".$post->post_title."</a></li>";
endwhile;
echo "</ul>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</div>";
}
}
?>
The only problem is that its displaying same post titles for all the terms..
When you get to looping through the post in each category, you are not finding only the posts related to that category, and are instead looping through EVERY post. The below (untested, so comment if you get errors) should sort your problem.
Please note however that you may still get some repetition, if a post is assigned to more than one category.
Check each post to ensure it is in the desired category. Good point - only one query. Bad point - loops through all posts for every cat.
<?php
$terms = get_terms('publicationcat');
if(!empty($terms)) : foreach($terms as $term) :
?>
<div class="publication-area">
<?php sprintf('<h3 class="term-heading">%1$s</h3>', $term->name); ?>
<div class="publication-txt">
<?php if($my_query->have_posts()) : ?>
<ul>
<?php if(in_category($term->slug)) : ?>
<?php while($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $link = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'document_file_id', true)); ?>
<li><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo ($link !== '') ? $link : ''; ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
endforeach;
endif;
?>
Re-query the posts and output all that are grabbed. Good point - only pulls only the posts required for the category being looped. Bad point - lots of queries, so many queries could slow your site down.
<?php
$terms = get_terms('publicationcat');
if(!empty($terms)) : foreach($terms as $term) :
?>
<div class="publication-area">
<?php sprintf('<h3 class="term-heading">%1$s</h3>', $term->name); ?>
<div class="publication-txt">
<?php
$args = array(
'cat' => $term->term_id
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<ul>
<?php if($my_query->have_posts()) : while($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $link = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'document_file_id', true)); ?>
<li><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo ($link !== '') ? $link : ''; ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php
endforeach;
endif;
?>
What is the syntax for printing the sequence of category name and its follow up posts in my new template in a WordPress site? I have tried a lot via Google but all are not working properly.
There are many ways to do this, but here is a simple one (you will have to improve it with the category and posts links at least):
<?php $categories= get_categories();
if( !empty($categories) ):
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($categories as $category): ?>
<li>
<?=$category->cat_name?>
<?php $posts = get_posts($category->cat_id);
if( !empty($posts) ):
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ): ?>
<li><?= $post->post_title; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
