I have a page that displays certain posts from a certain category, in this case category 33:
<?php $top_query = new WP_Query('cat=33'); ?>
<?php while($top_query->have_posts()) : $top_query->the_post(); ?>
How Can I specify that the posts returned should only be ones that have comments enabled?.
I have tried wrapping it in:
<?php if(comments_open()) : ?>
Hover that needs to be used within the loop :(
Thanks in advance
In the wordpress database the post status is saved in the $wpdb->posts table in the comment_status column. Try passing this variable to WP_Query also like this:
<?php $top_query = new WP_Query( array('cat'=>33, 'comment_status'=>'open'); ?>
<?php while($top_query->have_posts()) : $top_query->the_post(); ?>
this should do it.
Hi Guys Need help with this very badly.
Need to add shortcode to output in the area circled in white in the picture below.
And the input area is under video description. And from my understanding ive have confirmed that the name for that text area is description_value.
I have looked through every documentation and tried all filters and do_shortcode variations to no avail. Please help i have spent 3 days non stop doing this. Puting the codes in my function.php and so many others. It still does not parse [shortcodes] it just displays text "[shortcodes]". please refer to picture below
Thank you.
This is outputing on the page. I have
<div class="describe-feat">[postexpirator]</div>
This is in a file called grid-gallery.js
<h2><%= item.title %></h2></div><div class="view-gallery">\
<div class="describe-feat"><%=item.desc%></div>\
<% if(item.imgnum){ %><span class="item-num"><%= item.imgnum %></span><% } %>\
This is in custom post editor in wordpress admin area
<textarea name="description_value" class="option-textarea">[postexpirator]</textarea>

It's because, you are missing do_shortcode function for parsing shortcode.
Assuming you just want to target a single value, you could just do this inside the loop.
<?php echo ( do_shortcode( get_post_meta( $post->ID , 'Your textarea Key Name' , true ) ) ); ?>
If your post has multiple values for that custom field, then you can set the above to false.. and loop over the array...
<?php $values = do_shortcode( get_post_meta( $post->ID , 'Your textarea Key Name' , false ) ); ?>
<?php if($values && is_array($values)) : ?>
<?php foreach( $values as $meta) : ?>
<p><?php echo $meta ?></p>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Just want to add that if you won't use the_post() no shortcode will work,
I had this issue when trying to enable shortcode on CutomFields on a new page type, and nothing worked until activating WP loop with the_post() .
I create a loop in Wordpress with the condition like this:
Display a specific post format (example: video)
Limiting the post number. In this case, I only want to display 2 posts.
Here my code:
<?php $i = 1; if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts() && $i < 3) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content-video', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php $i++; endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'none' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I already have file name content-video.php.
Unfortunately, the loop does not work. Only displayed the first post, not a specific post (video post format) with template from content-video.php.
Appreciate for any help, or alternative code. Thanks in advance.
My remarks about your code:
I think you have bad wrapping for if else while statements. You are missing an endif at the end in the case your approach is correct.
Why use inside your code the i variable since you can customize any query in WP, especially for number of post using the parameter posts_per_page.
Why not to use the loop inside content-video.php and write only:get_template_part('content-video', get_post_format()); Like in single.php and loop-single.php the themes provided with wordpress installation (twenty themes) .
Good luck
the best way would be to get posts of "video" post format from a query, but I'm not sure how:)
As a workaround you could do this inside the loop:
if (!has_post_format('video'))
continue;
I'm using the advanced custom field plugin for Wordpress to show the results of checkboxes. I have what I want working, I just want to tidy up the code and add the following:
Remove the underscore from the social media tag (some kind of stripping out???).
If possible I'd like to show a comma after each "tag" but not if it's the last one.
Here's my test page, they're the blue "tags" under the discipline section.
Here's my code:
<?php
$catNames = array( 'branding','creative','development','exhibition','packaging','print','seo','social_media','usability','web','advertising','campaign','content','feasibility','publishing','research','strategy');
foreach($catNames as $name){
if(in_array($name, get_field('categories') )){
echo ''.strtoupper($name).'';
}
}
?>
Well it is pretty basic, you just have to do a loop. I could have write something better with more information... anyway this should do exactly what your code did but in a loop.
<?php
$catNames = array( 'branding','creative','development','exhibition','packaging','print','seo','social_media','usability','web','advertising','campaign','content','feasibility','publishing','research','strategy');
foreach($catNames as $name){
if(in_array($name, get_field('categories') )){ //I don't know what this is suppose to do
echo ''.strtoupper($name).'';
}
}
?>
Try this out:
<?php foreach( get_field('categories') as $category ): ?>
<?php echo ucwords($category) ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Ok this should be better
<?php
$catNames = array( 'branding','creative','development','exhibition','packaging','print','seo','social_media','usability','web','advertising','campaign','content','feasibility','publishing','research','strategy');
foreach($catNames as $name){
$theID = get_cat_ID($name); // get the ID of each category
echo ''.$theID->name.'';
}
?>
I am trying to pull excerpts and custom fields from specific posts, I have tried using post titles and post id but I am only succeeding in pulling every single post using this query. For example I have this code trying to pull just the title for the post with id 182
<?php $map = new WP_Query();
$map->query('post_id=182'); ?>
<?php while ($map->have_posts()) : $map->the_post(); ?
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
It pulls the title of every single post using this method and I can not figure out how I am going to have multiple loops like this each pulling content from just one specific post. Can someone please explain where I went wrong?
I've had luck with WP_query('p=182').
If you know the post ID then you can use get_post($post_id); like so
$post_id = 182;
$my_post = get_post($post_id);
$title = $my_post->post_title;
echo $title;
echo $my_post->post_content;
