hi i want to create a multiple loop page for archive / category / tag
i am very confused, plz help
<?php
$count = 1;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if($count == 1) : ?>
<-- First loop --> I need only 1 post in this loop (so i add above code)
<?php else : ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php echo limit_words(get_the_excerpt(), '44'); ?>
<-- second loop --> (1 post in this loop)
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php echo limit_words(get_the_excerpt(), '35'); ?>
<-- Third loop --> (4 post in this loop)
<ul><li><?php the_title(); ?>
</li></ul>
<-- Fourth loop --> (Rest of all posts will be in this loop)
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'cover')); ?>
<div class=""></div><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php echo limit_words(get_the_excerpt(), '44'); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- /.post -->
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="archiveTitle"><?php _e('Sorry, nothing matched your criteria','linepress');?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>
Check out http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop that has a section on using multiple loops. that has always worked for me.

page-webinars.php:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Webinars
*/
?>
<?php
$loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => array('webinars')));
if ($loop->have_posts()) :
while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post();
?>
<?php get_template_part('loop-webinars'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
loop-webinars.php:
<?php the_title(); ?>
single-webinars.php:
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div>
<?php
the_post();
the_content();
?>
</div>
Looks like everything's correct. Page displays necessary template, but single not working.
You forget to use WordPress loop.
Try with this code in your single-webinars.php file.
<?php
// Start the loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<?php the_title('<h1>', '</h1>'); ?>
<div>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php // End of the loop.
endwhile;
?>
It had just to "reactivate" theme...
HI I have edited and make a template page of responsive theme to make some thumbnails of the features pics of the posts.
ALl it's okay I can see them, but even if the posts are 9 I could see only 5. If I add one ony I see the new one, there is something like "show only latest 5 posts" but I can't understand WHERE!
get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'loop-header' ); ?>
<?php responsive_entry_before(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php responsive_entry_top(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'post-meta-page' ); ?>
<div class="post-entry">
<?php the_content(__('Read more ›', 'responsive')); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<div class="pagination">' . __('Pages:', 'responsive'), 'after' => '</div>')); ?>
</div><!-- end of .post-entry -->
(this is my added code)
<ul>
<?php
$posts = get_posts();
foreach($posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
?>
<li><div class="fotoBoxContent"><a class="fotoBox" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); the_title(); ?></a></div></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php responsive_entry_bottom(); ?>
</div><!-- end of #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
<?php responsive_entry_after(); ?>
<?php responsive_comments_before(); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php responsive_comments_after(); ?>
<?php
endwhile;
get_template_part( 'loop-nav' );
else :
get_template_part( 'loop-no-posts' );
endif;
?>
Try adding query_posts( 'posts_per_page=NUMBER_GOES_HERE' ); immediately before the <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Replacing NUMBER_GOES_HERE with the amount of posts you want displayed. Use -1 to show all posts
Also within Wordpress itself Settings->Reading has a field where you can set Blog pages show at most
I'm still not sure what exactly you want to achieve but if you just want to have thumbnails of posts that are in the main loop, then you do not need to do additional query.
All you need to do is something like this:
1.) Before <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> you initialize some variable:
$thumb_data='';
2.) After <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
$thumb_data='<ul>';
3.) replace your "added code" with this:
$thumb_data.='<li><div class="fotoBoxContent"><a class="fotoBox" href="'.get_the_permalink().'">'.get_the_post_thumbnail()." ".get_the_title().'</a></div></li>';
4.) After the main while loop, add:
$thumb_data='</ul>';
5.) Mow all the HTML code for the list of thumbnails will be in $thumb_data, so just echo this variable in the template where you want the HTML code to appear.
I am currently using wordpress in creating my websites. And i really find a problem regarding pagination. So basically to be able for you to understand what is really my problem, I will post two codes:
This is the first code:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/inc/meta.php'); ?>
<div class="entry">
<?php
the_excerpt();
?>
</div>
<br/><br/>
<h3>Read More...</h3>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
In this lines of code, I used the regular loop in querying a post. Actually I did not modify the code. I also installed a plugin WP-PageNavi. There is no problem, pagination is working properly.
But when i put this line of code, about the regular loop. Pagination is not working properly. I put this line of code " " because I want only to show post in this said category.
2nd code:
Line of code
<?php query_posts('cat=8'); ?>
End line of code
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<br/><br/>
<h3>Read More...</h3>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
My question is: What should I do in order for the pagination to worked properly? I really need some help with this.
I think the problem is the because of the two The Loop(i.e while and endwhile loop) in a page.
instead of while use foreach loop. below is the example
<?php
$args = array('category' => '8');
$postArr = get_posts($args);
if($postArr){
foreach($postArr as $details){
?>
div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php echo $details->ID; ?>">
<h2><?php echo $details->post_title; ?></h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
<div class="entry">
<?php echo $details->post_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<br/><br/>
<h3>Read More...</h3>
</div>
<?php
}
}else{
?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php
}
?>
Note Code not tested...
s it possible to retrieve post entry for a custom post type by tag, I have been trying with the following code, however it just locks me into a infinte loop.
<aside class="supporting_images">
<?php /*<?php if($post->ID == 241) : echo apply_filters('the_content', '[slideshow=3]'); endif; ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>*/?>
<?php if($post->ID == 241) : ?>
<?php
$query = new WP_Query();
$query->query('tag=branding');
?>
<?php while ($query->have_posts()) : ?>
hello
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif;?>
First try changing your loop to:
<?php while ($query->have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
The have_posts() function just returns true if there is another post but does not increment the loop counter, so the loop will never end.
I've created a custom page and it is set as my homepage, within this custom page I am pulling out the latest post from a specific category, I've also created a form of pagination which when clicked upon will take the user to single.php. My intention for the single.php is to have two custom loops.
Custom loop one
I want single.php to distinguish that it has came from the homepage and loop through all of the posts tagged with the same category as the one on the homepage.
Some of these posts will have to be tagged with more than one category, so the loop will have to know to ignore the other categories and just pay attention to the category in question. Does that make sense?
Custom loop two
If the user hasn't arrived from the homepage, single.php will just act as it normally does i.e, if the user comes from index.php (the blog) they will be taken to this second loop (blog post)
However I don't seem to be able to make the distinction between the two loops, I might be over complicating matters, as I've got a loop which wraps everything together and then I have a loop for my custom pagination.
Here is the code below to show you what I'm talking about
custompage.php (set to home) - This works just fine but I'll post it just incase anyone is able to tidy it up
<?php query_posts('cat=1'); ?>
<?php
$myPosts = new WP_Query();
$myPosts->query('showposts=1');
if (have_posts()) :
while ($myPosts->have_posts()) : $myPosts->the_post();
?>
<script type="text/javascript">$.backstretch("<?php $key="image"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);?>");</script>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="info">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<ul class="nav">
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1&offset=1'); the_post(); ?>
<li class="prev">Previous</li>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<li class="next"></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- end .info -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
single.php - Currently broken
<?php if( in_category('1') ) { ?>
<!-- start -->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="info">
<script type="text/javascript">$.backstretch("<?php $key="image"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);?>");</script>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="prev"><?php previous_post_link('%link', ' ', 'true', '1') ?></li>
<li class="next"><?php next_post_link('%link', ' ', 'true', '1'); ?></li>
<!--li class="prev"><?php //previous_post_link('%link', '%title;', 'true', '1') ?></li>
<li class="next"><?php //next_post_link('%link', '%title;', 'true', '1'); ?></li-->
</ul>
</div>
<!-- end .info -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- end -->
<?php }else{ ?>
<div id="content" class="widecolumn" role="main">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry »</p>'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
The problem I seem to be running into is when a post has been tagged with two categories, wordpress doesn't seem to be able to make the distinction between the two categories and instead of carrying on to the next category it breaks and defaults to the second loop.
how about this?
HOMEPAGE
<?php
$myPosts = new WP_Query();
$myPosts->query('showposts=1&cat=1');
if (have_posts()) :
while ($myPosts->have_posts()) : $myPosts->the_post();
?>
<script type="text/javascript">$.backstretch("<?php $key="image"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);?>");</script>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="info">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<ul class="nav">
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1&offset=1'); the_post(); ?>
<li class="prev">Previous</li>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?> <-- not sure if this will reset the overall query
<li class="next"></li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
the queryposts('cat=1') at the top of your query wont run with that category, the category would have to be set inside your custom query
$myPosts->query('showposts=1&cat=1');
the 2nd page (SINGLE.PHP) with 2 loops..
if the user is coming from the homepage to a single page you want to attach the current category to the query, without this wordpress (while on the singles page will default to loop through all posts)
so for the singles page would the below be any good?
<?php if( in_category('1') ) { ?>
<!-- your selected category -->
<!-- start -->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="info">
<script type="text/javascript">$.backstretch("<?php $key="image"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);?>");</script>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<ul>
<php global $post;
$my_query = get_posts('numberposts=1&cat=1&offset=-1');
foreach($my_query as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
$link = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'site-url', true); ?>
<li>
<php the_title(); ?>
</li>
<php endforeach; ?>
<php global $post;
$my_other_query = get_posts('numberposts=1&cat=1&offset=1');
foreach($my_other_query as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
$link = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'site-url', true); ?>
<li>
<php the_title(); ?>
</li>
<php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- end .info -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- end -->
<?php }else{
include('standard-wp-singles-page-stuff.php');
} ?>
then once your singles page loads it will check for the current category in that post, if its in category 1, then it will load your custom loop, then it will loop through 2 posts, in the same category? giving you 2 links to other posts. also using an offset on that query should give you a link forward and a link backwards?
hope that helps..
fixing code layout.. didnt work too well :P
