I have a code chunk that is inside the_content(); I'm using acf repeater as well. So when I post a blog, I'll either use the_content(); or the acf field. I have h2 tag ( latest articles ) that I only want printed one time, but it's printing everytime I make a post.
<?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 sidebar-r">
<?php echo the_content(); ?>
</div><!-- end sidebar-r -->
<?php
$i = $wp_query->post_count;
if($i <=1) {
echo '<h2 class="link-title">
<?php the_sub_field('link_title'); ?>,
</h2>';
}else{
echo '';
}
?>
<div class="col-md-8 links-wrap">
<?php if(have_rows('daily_links')): ?>
<?php while(have_rows('daily_links')): the_row(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_sub_field('link_url'); ?>" target="_blank">
<h2 class="link-title">
<?php the_sub_field('link_title'); ?>,
</h2>
<h3 class="link-source">
<?php the_sub_field('link_source'); ?>
</h3>
</a>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- end links wrap -->
</div><!-- end row -->
</div><!-- end container -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
You'll see I tried using php to count the posts and if more than one post, don't print the tag, but couldn't figure out the exact logic and syntax.
I am honestly struggling a bit to understand exactly what you are trying to do and since I do not even have the posts and other key pieces of information so that I can properly replicate your issue so that I can help you better, this is a little bit challenging. That being said, looking into some ideas I came across another stackoverflow question/answer that might be relevant for you in catching the first post and does something to it. The answer to the referenced question instance was this:
<?php if (have_posts()) : $postCount = 1; while (have_posts()) : $postCount++; ?>
<?php if($postCount == 2) { ?>
// SOMETHING TO DO WITH FIRST POST
<?php } else { ?>
// SOMETHING TO DO WITH ALL OTHER POSTS
<?php } ?>
This was suggested by user Bora in this answer from 2013.
Let me know if that helped!
I am trying to get my blog to show a message to visitors when they visit the category main page (ex: www.website.com/category-slug-here/), but can't seem to figure out the Wordpress Loop quite right. Here is what I started with in my theme's index.php file:
get_header(); ?>
<div id="page-wrap" class="blog-page blog-fullwidth container">
<div id="content" class="blog-wrap <?php echo esc_attr($sidebarlayout); ?> columns">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'framework/inc/post-format/entry', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'framework/inc/nav' ); ?>
</div>
<?php if($sidebar != 'no-sidebar'){ ?>
<div id="sidebar" class="<?php echo esc_attr($sidebarorientation); ?> alt">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And here is how I tried to alter it:
get_header(); ?>
<div id="page-wrap" class="blog-page blog-fullwidth container">
<div id="content" class="blog-wrap <?php echo esc_attr($sidebarlayout); ?> columns">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'framework/inc/post-format/entry', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>Sorry, looks like this category is empty!</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'framework/inc/nav' ); ?>
</div>
<?php if($sidebar != 'no-sidebar'){ ?>
<div id="sidebar" class="<?php echo esc_attr($sidebarorientation); ?> alt">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
However, making this change doesn't seem to yield any results. Am I missing something here? Seems like this should work (but I'm also not a total PHP guru, which is why I came here to consult with the masses). ;)
In wordpress the posts in category are shown in archive.php page .
Try to write the else condition in archive page instead of index.php page
I am trying to setup a custom page, you can take a look here:
http://dageniusmarketer.com/download-the-book-now
and im using this code for my custom page. The sidebars as far as i can tell have IDs of "navigation", and "sidebar", however, the rules i am applying to them are not working. I tried a test rule with the ID "content", and it works as expected. Why am i not able to hide the sidebars? Something isn't making sense.
<?php
/*
* Template Name: My Custom Page
* Description: A Page Template with No Sidebars.
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!--single.php-->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

Looking at the page structure, I tried to remove left and right sidebar by adding following styles.
Put the following styles as inline css in the desired template, so that it don't affect the layout of any other page. Hope this helps.
div#navigation
{
display:none;
}
div#sidebar
{
display:none;
}
div#content
{
margin: 5px 0 75px 0;
}
Your sidebar is being called with this line:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
You can try commenting it out to hide the sidebar:
<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>
You have two divs with the "sidebar" id, the one we can see in the code you posted (Which has the styles) and the one that eventually gets created by <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
These are not the same elements, so to fix your problem just remove that superfluous sidebar and apply the styles in your stylesheet.
Why dont you delete all the content of sidebar.php? so, all other files that call it will show nothing.
your sidebar is being called with this line
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
try to comment it
I'm struggling with getting wordpress to search custom post meta from a page template. I've looked all over the internet and can't seem to find anything that will work. No plugins seem to work either.
On my posts, I have the custom meta: "rate" and the value: "10" - Wordpress delivers no result when searching any of these.
I'd be very appreciated if someone could write me a searchpage.php page template or point me in the right direction (I'm not good with php).
Here's my current PHP code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Search Custom Meta
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div class="container clearfix fullwidth">
<div id="left-area">
<?php query_posts('meta_value='.$s); ?>
<?php if (!empty($wp_query->posts)) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div> <!-- end #left-area -->
</div> <!-- .container -->
</div> <!-- #content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
You checking incorrect variable in if so try removing that one,
query_posts('meta_value='.$s);
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo '<li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>';
endwhile;
I have a set-up a custom theme on my wordpress install. I have been developing with it locally and everything was working fine.
I uploaded to my server tonight and was setting up the fresh wordpress install. I turned on permalinks and all of a sudden my custom category pages are causing infinite re-direct loops.
My .htaccess is writable so I don't think its that problem (I have seen this mentioned a lot online).
The code from one of my custom pages is below - it pulls from a specific category - does anyone know how to fix this issue?
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php
/*
Template Name: Podcasts
*/
?>
<ul class="mcol">
<?php
query_posts("cat=1");
while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li class="article" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<?php
$imgsrcparam = array(
'alt' => trim(strip_tags( $post- >post_excerpt )),
'title' => trim(strip_tags( $post->post_title )),
);
$thumbID = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, array(200,200), $imgsrcparam ); ?>
<div class="preview"><?php echo "$thumbID"; ?><div class="front-titles"><?php the_title(); ?></div></div>
<?php } else {?>
<div class="preview"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/default-thumbnail.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="article-over">
</div>
</li> <?php ?>
<?php endwhile;
//Reset Query
wp_reset_query();
?>
</ul>
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h1 id="error"><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here."); ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="pagination"><?php previous_posts_link('<< Newer Entries', 0) ?> <?php next_posts_link('Older Entries >>', 0); ?> </div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Anyone any ideas? I'm quite new to this so am unsure as to what the problem might be...
What your doing is weird.
query_posts is meant to alter the main loop.
You have 2 loops with different syntax on the same page.
The second loop is not doing anything, so remove it, and use get_posts or WP Query for your custom query.
