I've installed a plugin for Wordpress Titled "CMS Press" onto my Site.
I have created two custom fields within a custom post I've called "The Team"
The code for the page is as follows :
<div class="span16"> <!-- This is column 1 -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="pagehead"><h2 class="title_page"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title_page', true);?></h2></div>
<div class="span6 subcontent">
<?php
$args = array ('post_type' => 'team');
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class="teamsubhead">
<h2 class="team_page"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<h3 class="job_title"><?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'jobtitle', true); ?></h3>
</div>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
The custom field I created in my custom post is called "jobtitle" I am trying to retrieve that from this line of code
<h3 class="job_title"><?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'jobtitle', true); ?></h3>
However nothing is getting output at all.
Can someone help me with this. I suspect it may be something to do with the loop and my new query being in a new loop?
Thanks in advance.
Try it with echo at the beginning:
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'jobtitle', true); ?>

I have blog which is in sub directory and showing last post on static index page on main site.
main site -> http://example.com
blog -> http://example.com/wp
The blog post is showed correctly on main site but I can't show links for prev and next post/article. This is what I have an what I'm trying
<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('wp/wp-blog-header.php');
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?>
</h1><h2><?php the_date(); echo "<br />";?></h2>
<h3><?php the_content(); ?> </h3>
<div class="navigation"><p><?php posts_nav_link(); ?></p></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
So this isn't visible: <div class="navigation"><p><?php posts_nav_link(); ?></p></div>
In Layman language it is a wordpress function to fetch posts/custom-posts. Internally it calls WP_Query function. Or you can use WP_Query instead of this. 'posts_nav_link' function does not work with WP_Query & get_posts function. You can try this to get next previous links.
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?>
</h1><h2><?php the_date(); echo "<br />";?></h2>
<h3><?php the_content(); ?> </h3>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<p><?php previous_post_link(); ?><?php next_post_link(); ?></p>
</div>
I cant comment you because I haven't enough reputations,
First follow https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts link
then check the sample code.
and also check the post display setting in the wp-admin panel /wp-admin/options-reading.php settings->reading section.
I am creating a custom homepage template in which I am trying to show posts with navigation.
Here is what I have followed.
Created a file homepage.php and gave the template name as "HomePage".
Created a page "Home" from dashboard and assigned this template "HomePage".
Then from settings > reading, chosen static front page "Home".
Here is my code for querying posts.
<div class="posts-container">
<?php query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=2&post_status=publish&paged='. get_query_var('paged')); ?>
<?php if(have_posts()): ?>
<?php while (have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h4 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
</div>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div>
<div class="pagination-nav">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link(__('Next »','example')); ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link(__('« Previous','example')); ?></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
Now, on clicking the links generated by pagination functions, I am getting redirected to the page where I was first. While the URL gets updated like
http://localhost/mysite/?paged=2
Lets say if there are 4 posts (post 1, post 2, post 3, post 4) that and the recent ones are post 4 and post 3 respectively, then I cannot get to post 1 and post 2. Both of the pages
http://localhost/mysite
http://localhost/mysite/?paged=2
show me only the post 4 and post 3. What can I do to solve this?
For a static front page you need to check for the page var too, in this way:
if ( get_query_var('paged') ) { $paged = get_query_var('paged'); }
elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) { $paged = get_query_var('page'); }
else { $paged = 1; }
query_posts('...&paged=' . $paged);
This was the solution that worked for me. I had to re-write the query and have used WP Query this time.
<?php
global $wp_query, $paged;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$query_args = array (
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status'=>'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 4, //for testing purposes
'paged' => $paged,
);
$wp_query = new WP_Query($query_args);
if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $wp_query->have_posts()) :
$wp_query->the_post();
?>
<div class="post">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<a class="entry-image" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); } ?>
</a>
<h4 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></h4>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="pagination-nav">
<div class="alignleft">
<?php next_posts_link(__('Oudere artikelen')); ?>
</div>
<div class="alignright">
<?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer')); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /posts-container -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
And Whola!, this one worked.
Might be useful for someone else.
I have my own custom WordPress theme and I am building out the 'Latest News' section at the moment. I have a custom field for my page header image and alt tag for each page on my site, I am using the following code to display those custom fields on each page:
<section class="page-heading">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php the_field( 'header_image' ); ?>" alt="<?php the_field( 'main_header_image_alt_tag' ); ?>">
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</section>
Which works fine. But on my 'Latest News' page all the custom fields from all the news stories (posts) are being displayed, so for example if I have 3 post displayed per page then I am getting 3 images and 3 alt tag displayed.
In my settings I have my 'Posts Page' set to 'Latest News'.
Is there a way I can only have 1 image and 1 alt tag displayed and not all 3?
Thanks.
EDIT
I've added an image to better explain... The images that span the screen are from the news stories and not the custom field for the 'Latest News' page.
I don't know if I understand your question, but you want your first post show the image and the rest not?
I guess you have to write something like this:
<section class="page-heading">
<php $show_first_image = true; ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if($show_first_image): $show_first_image = false; ?>
<img src="<?php the_field( 'header_image' ); ?>" alt="<?php the_field( 'main_header_image_alt_tag' ); ?>">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
I think I understand your problem, your latest news is also a Page (post type), which has the header image.
Your index file/archive is like this:
<?php
get_header();
if(have_posts()):
while(have_posts()):
// your latest news * 3.
endwhile;endif;
get_footer(); ?>
the problem is, got its items loaded before the get_header(), where your header image will be showed.
What you do is something like this:
<?php
global $wp_query;
$original_query = $wp_query;
$wp_query = null;
$page = get_query_var( 'pagename' );
$wp_query = new WP_Query( array('post_type' => 'page', 'pagename' => $page ) );
get_header(); // in the get_header() you will probably have the <section class="page-heading">
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = $original_query;
if(have_posts()):
while(have_posts()):
// your latest news * 3.
endwhile;endif;
get_footer(); ?>
I hope this is your answer to your question.
I got around this by creating a new template for my news page and using WP_Query inside that template to bring in the latest news stories. I also unset 'Posts Page' in my reading settings as that's what was causing all the issues.
I'm not sure if that is the most efficient way of doing things but it worked for me.
VVC, I appreciate your help and effort.

Now I've done this a couple other times with no problem, I have a main page using home.php and the blog as another page using "blog-home.php" blog template with all the right code to grab the posts but it's not displaying. The only difference is I've added a custom portfolio post field to the functions, would this be effecting it or could it be something else? I can access a post from the home page under latest post putting the code below but that's it.
<?php query_posts("post_per_page=1"); the_post(); ?>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?></div>
*UPDATE: I've tried another code but now it is only displaying the blog page as a post. *
<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Home
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="contentwrapper">
<?php query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'Blog', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="blogentry">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?> </h4>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<div class="postmetadata">
<?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?>
</div>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Maybe if you use
$posts = get_posts(array('numberposts' => 1));
global $post;
$post = $posts[0];
the_excerpt();
instead
query_posts();
is never a good idea change the global query if get_posts dosn't work for you try with WP_Query()
Please at first let me explain my question. I use wordpress to create web sites for flash games, so I don't have certain page for post's. I add each game by
<code>
post-new.php?post_type=game
</code>
and u can see it's not the regular post for wordpress.
I try to use this code from codex:
<code>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
$i = 0;
$loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'game', 'post_per_page' => 5 ));
while ($loop->post_type()) : $loop->game();
?>
</code>
<code>
<?php if ( in_category('') ) { ?>
<div class="post-cat-three">
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="post">
<?php } ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?></small>
<div class="entry">
<p>Category: <?php single_cat_title(); ?></p>
</div>
<p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
</code>
I think it really have to works for posts, but in such case I try to change post for games, try many ways, but don't sucseed yet.
Could anyone tell me what I have change in this code?
i think that promblem in the begining with 'have post' and 'the loop'.
Thanks.
I hope this will help. This is from my WordPress custom post type (loop):
<?php query_posts('post_type=clients&showposts=1000');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$nameofclient = get_post_meta($post->ID,'name_of_client',true);
$clientcompany = get_post_meta($post->ID,'company_of_client',true);?>
<div <?php post_class();?> id="ka-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2 class="categorytitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?><p class="ats_autors">/ <?php if($nameofclient): echo '<span class="client">'.$nameofclient.'</span>'; endif; if($clientcompany): if($nameofclient){echo ', ';} echo '<span class="client-company">'.$clientcompany.'</span>'; endif; ?></p></div><?php endwhile; endif;wp_reset_query();?>
Just found one mistake: in_category('') MUST be filled with category ID in slug. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category#Parameters
Correct would be in_category('some-game-cat-slug')
