I am having a hard time getting the Wordpress thumbnail to show up when I am using Advanced Custom Fields Pro Post Object.
My goal is to have the user select a single featured post to show up after the 6th post on the blog page.
This is my code (which is pretty much directly from ACF documentation):
<?php
$featured_post = get_field('featured_post', 'option');
if( $featured_post ): ?>
<?php echo esc_html( $featured_post->post_title ); ?></h3>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This returns the correct title but the wrong featured image (from the post above).
The code above is called inside the loop on index.php inside the featured template part.
$counter = 1;
/* Start the Loop */
while ( have_posts() ) :
the_post();
/*
* Include the Post-Type-specific template for the content.
* If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Type name) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'get_post_type()' );
//check the counter and display your content
if( $counter === 3 && !is_paged() ) { ?>
<?php get_template_part('template-parts/components/component', 'subscribe'); ?>
<?php } elseif ( $counter === 6 && !is_paged() ) { ?>
<?php get_template_part('template-parts/components/component', 'featured'); ?>
<?php }
//update the counter on every loop
$counter++;
endwhile;
I have tried the other code examples on the documentation page but those return all of my posts (again with only one thumbnail, not the correct thumbnail per post).
I am not sure where to go from here.
Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated!
Since this is not in the loop context, the function does not find the correct post object set up to take the ID from. Use get_the_post_thumbnail instead, that takes the post id as parameter.
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $featured_post->ID ); ?>

I was wondering if there is a way to change this code to only display posts from certain category created in wordpress. Now it displays every recent post. Let's say I would create "News" category in wordpress and I want this piece of code to display only News posts.
Thanks for help
<?php
if( have_posts() ){
while( have_posts() ){
the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'koncert');
}
}
?>
You can override the usual query that wordpress uses and create a custom one;
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/
usually though for just displaying a category you can just open the category slug and provided your template has the correct archive page it will display the posts for that category.
If not use something similar to below. You can further refine your search parameters like number of posts and post types as defined in the link above.
<?php
//refine your query to the category you desire either a slug(example below) or category id
$args = array(
'category_name' => 'my_category_slug',
);
//create the query using the arguments
$query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
//create the loop to show the posts
<?php if($query->have_posts()): ?>
<?php while($query->have_posts()): $query->the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div><?php the_content(); ?></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I am developing a WordPress website where I want to show posts based on some logic below:
On the front page, I want to show 10 posts and then pagination but in every 3 posts I want to show another custom post type posts.
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
the_title();
the_content();
echo '<hr/>';
// Above will be shown 3 posts,
// then my custom post type post ( pro_event, special)
// After that remaining 7 Posts
}
pagination();
How can I do this?
Shall I call the custom posts type posts code in between the while loop() or is there other way?
Thanks.
You can do this with simple if statement:
$shown_post_count = 0;
while ( have_posts() ) {
if($shown_post_count != 3) {
the_post();
the_title();
the_content();
} else {
// your custom post here
}
echo '<hr/>';
$shown_post_count++;
}
pagination();
Hope this helps you
I'm looking for a possibility to add a custom html block/post to the woocommerce "shop page" inside the products grid, as a product.
What I mean.. I have a grid of products on the "shop" page (archive-product) and I want to create a special post/page/html block with some text information, that will be inserted into the products grid as a one of "product", but with no price, with no title and unclickable. I've attached the screenshot of the final result I want to have, it's really self explaining - here it is exactly what I'm looking for.
As an idea probably I can create a special product with specific slug or title and the corresponding script with pre_get_posts hook will find this post/product and modify it to look like I need. I'm looking for some code/ideas how to insert this specific block/page/post into the archive-product page on some position in the grid. Thanks!
Thanks for help, guys! I've implemented the functionality I was looking for. I've found the corresponding loop in archive-product.php and as was suggested by JapanGuy, I've added a simple "if i equal let's say 5 then echo < li>[Custom block]< /li>" .
The original snippet from archive-product.php:
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_start(); ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_subcategories(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_end(); ?>
Modified code with inserted custom block:
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_start(); ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_subcategories(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
if ($i == 5) {
echo "<li>[Custom block]</li>";
}
$i++;
?>
<?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php woocommerce_product_loop_end(); ?>
Im such simple way I can add any content to the created [Custom block] and have an usual products grid with extra custom designed block. I'm not very experienced programmer, so probably my code is not perfect, but it works. Thanks!
Edit: Previous code was wrong, changed it here
$i=0;
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{
if ($i == 2) {
echo "Cusom block";
}
echo "<p> Product block " . $row['column'] . " </p>";
$i++;
}
Creating WordPress Custom Post Archives : Hope this meets your requirement.
Custom Post Archives list your custom content. You probably already know the standard WordPress archives. So you can follow this to display both together .
Ref here : https://wp-types.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-wordpress-custom-post-archives/
Im using advanced custom fields and have setup a custom post type for testimonials, on the testimonial page there is a relationship field (display_on_page) where you would select which page to display the testimonial on.
The issue is that the testimonial displays on everypage when a page is chosen
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong on the below please?
<?php query_posts( 'post_type=Testimonial'); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $posts = get_field('display_on_page');
if( $posts ): ?>
<?php the_field('the_testimonial'); ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
If I understood correctly, you should check if the value that you get from get_field('display_on_page') matches the current page ID.
(I'm assuming that the page ID is what is stored by the custom field you created).
If that's the case, you may query your posts filtering by custom field values, like such:
<?php
// Fetches current page ID, assuming that this is page.php or similar
$current_page_id = get_the_ID();
query_posts(
'post_type=Testimonial',
'meta_key' => 'display_on_page',
'meta_value' => $current_page_id // Only gets Testimonials that are set for this page
);
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_field('the_testimonial');
endwhile;
// Resets default WP Post Data *AFTER* the loop is complete
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
I am creating a wordpress template and I now need some code that creates a loop to show all posts but not full posts, just excerpts.
Can anyone help please?
Use this code to generate the excerpt into the loop:
<?php
if(have_posts())
{
while(have_posts())
{
the_post();
the_excerpt();
}
}
?>
The above will generate only the excerpt of the posts. If you need extra options like post title, date, author and more you have to read the WordPress codex. http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
You can read more by following the link given by markratledge below.
Everything you need to know - with examples - is here: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
The most basic loop is
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) {
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
//
// Post Content here
//
} // end while
} // end if
?>
and you want to use the_excerpt() instead of the_content() See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
