Loop CPT by ID through Wordpress loop - php

Question

I'm trying to loop only custom post types using the WP loop, but only shows the ones I give by ID.
This is my "normal" loop right now:
<?php $args = array(
'post_type' => 'referenties', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'order' => 'DESC',
); ?>
<?php
$number = 0;
query_posts($args);
if(have_posts()):
?>
<!-- /Carousel script -->
<div class="container">
<div class="carousel-loop">
<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide">
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="<?php echo $number++; ?>"></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
<div class="controle-buttons">
<a class="carousel-control left" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="prev"><i class="fa fa-chevron-circle-left"></i></a>
<a class="carousel-control right" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="next"><i class="fa fa-chevron-circle-right"></i></a>
</div>
<!-- Carousel items -->
<div class="carousel-inner">
<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<!-- Carousel nav -->
<div class="item">
<div class="col-sm-2">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : // Check if thumbnail exists ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(150,150)); // Declare pixel size you need inside the array ?>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php $bedrijf = get_field('naam_bedrijf'); ?>
<?php $feest = get_field('feest'); ?>
<?php $link = get_field('mylink'); ?>
<?php echo '<p>Bedrijfsnaam: ' . $bedrijf . '</p>'; ?>
<?php $post_object = get_field('mylink');
if( $post_object ): $post = $post_object; setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<p>Feest type: <a style="color:#ff6600" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<div class="col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-1">
<h4>Opmerking</h4>
<p><?php echo custom_field_excerpt_longer(); ?></p>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php echo '<p>' . wp_review_show_total() . '</p>'; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
But I only want to show post ID's: 2706, 2462, 2514, 2511 and 2505.
The loop is shown in a carousel, this works fine. But I just want the ID's to show and not all posts added.

Answer 1

Use something like this:
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'referenties',
'post__in' => array(2706, 2462, 2514, 2511, 2505),
'order' => 'DESC',
);
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
//post content output goes here
}
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
// no posts found
}
The post__in () argument uses array with desired post ids to retrieve.
Don't use query_posts for custom queries. Too much that can go wrong.
Hope this helps :)
