I am having an issue where by I need to show only specific posts on my home from a certain category otherwise it is showing anything and everything that is posted and I am using posts around the site for other purposes.
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=3'); while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<span style="float: left; width: 180px; height: 180px; padding: 0px 60px 0px 0px;"><?php the_post_thumbnail( array(220,200) ); ?> </span>
<h3 class="excerptHeader" style="margin-top: 0px;"><a class="excerptHeader" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<span class="excerpt"><p><?php echo substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0,80); ?> [...]</p></span>
<span class="excerpt"><p><a class="excerptLink" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read full article</a></p></span>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
I have tried adding in:
Change your query arguments as follows:
query_posts('posts_per_page=3&cat=nn')
Where nn is the ID of the category you wish to select posts from.
Check query_posts page for more details.

I've got a wordpress blog where I want to iterate through posts. Each post on the list has a little photos on the left. And title and subtitle on the right.
But as you can see distance between each post is not equal but rather related to the length of the title and subtitle. The longer text is the bigger distance between each posts. I want to change it to fixed length with the same size every time. How can I do it? Here is my code:
<div style="padding-top: 25px;" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<p>
//IMAGE
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
<a style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?></a> <?php endif; ?>
//TITLE
<h2 style="padding-top: -20px;"><?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
//SUBTITLE
<?php echo get_secondary_title(); ?>
</p>
</div>
You can limit the title and subititle max lenght truncating it.
Try this:
.text-to-truncate {
width: 250px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

I am working on wordpress ACF, with posts and a single gallery of images. Both display perfectly.
But I am trying to load my ACF's image gallery AFTER the posts... I try many different ways, playing around with 'endif' / 'endwhile' nothing works.
Any idea of how to change the order ?
Thanks !
#gallerie {
width: 100%; z-index: 990; position: relative; margin-top: 700px;
}
div.image-home {
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
.post{width: 30%; float: left;}
That's it for the important css
(the menu on top is fixed)
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<!-- beginning of the gallery -->
<div id="gallerie">
<?php ;?>
<?php $images = get_field('image_gallery');?>
<?php if( $images ): ?>
<div class="image-home">
<?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['medium']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
</a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- end of the gallery -->
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><br>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="contenu">
<p><?php the_field('description'); ?></p>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('j F Y') ?> par <?php the_author() ?></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
It appears you've posted the gallery prior to where the post loop exists entirely (ie, not even at the start of the loop, but before it.)
If you take that same gallery snippet and place it right AFTER the final endwhile, you'll get more of an acceptable result.
edit: It's really hard to comment without knowing or seeing more of the desired result, ie that same snippet could be posted right BEFORE the final endwhile if it is repeated for each post.
CSS
only changed one line:
#gallerie {
width: 100%; z-index: 990; position: relative; margin-top: 20px;
}
PHP
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><br>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="contenu">
<p><?php the_field('description'); ?></p>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('j F Y') ?> par <?php the_author() ?></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- beginning of the gallery -->
<div id="gallerie">
<?php ;?>
<?php $images = get_field('image_gallery');?>
<?php if( $images ): ?>
<div class="image-home">
<?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['medium']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
</a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- end of the gallery -->
Chrome Dev Tools are Awesome
Also, you're using Chrome which is a great development tool within itself, you're on the Mac, so when you're on your page press Command+Option and i. That will open the Dev Tools.
Expand your code and as you hover over each line (on the code side) you will see in the viewport your margin elements. This will allow you to play with your styling and get it perfected
So I know masonry in a single column has been covered a few times on stack but I'm not very familiar with jquery and I'm not sure of the adjustments I need to make. I'm also not extremely proficient in wordpress to know if I am making an obvious mistake here. I'm editing a theme and I'm trying to make the blog use a masonry layout. The theme calls the post loop from it's own php file so the blog is kind of broken up in to several php files. I hope I am including the right info.
The posts are showing up in blocks but it's just one column straight down. It seems the container is going all the way across the page on each post. I'm not sure if it's not stopping the loop or what I need to add so that each post spreads across the container width. Any help or tips on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I added this to my functions.
function wdv_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-masonry' ); // adds masonry to the theme
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wdv_enqueue_scripts' );
This to my footer.php
<script>
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
$( '#container2' ).masonry( { columnWidth: 220 } );
} );
</script>
Here is my code for the loop.
<div id="container2">
<?php
global $ae_post_factory;
$ae_post = $ae_post_factory->get('post');
$post = $ae_post->current_post;
?>
<div class="brick">
<div class="brick_header">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" >
<h4 class="media-heading title-blog"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
</a>
</div>
<div class="brick_featured_image">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail (); ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

</div>
</div><!-- container -->
And this is the CSS
* masonry brick layout */
#container2 {
width: 100%; /* width of the entire container for the wall */
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.brick {
width: 30%; /* width of each brick less the padding inbetween */
padding: 0px 10px 15px 10px;
background-color: #fff;
margin-top: 5px;
}
.brick_header{
border-bottom: solid 1px #1d1d1d;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.brick_header a{
color: #ffff00;
}
.brick_header a:hover{
color: white;
}
.brick_featured_image{
width: 100%;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.brick_featured_image img{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Here you're providing Column-Width in JS 220px.
And in CSS : 30%.
That might be creating problems.
Make sure your HTML Structure Looks like this.
<div id="container2">
<div class="brick">...</div>
<div class="brick">...</div>
<div class="brick">...</div>
</div>
And CSS :
.container2{
width:100%;
}
.brick{
width:25%;
/*
This should be respective of the columns you want
Like for 4 columns, 100%/4 = 25%
*/
}
And JS.
var $container2 = $('#container2');
$container.masonry({
itemSelector: '.brick'
});

To know more details on the problem you're having, kindly provide the URL so I can have a look at it and can provide exact solution.
I personally use the "js-masonry" class mainly because if you are using a framework such as Bootstrap or Modest Grid, it will keep the gutter settings, etc.
Here is an example:
<div class="js-masonry">
<?php if ( have_posts() ): ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="dt-6 tl-6 tp-6">
<article>
<h2>
<a href="<?php esc_url( the_permalink() ); ?>" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>" rel="bookmark">
<i class="fa <?php echo strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-", get_field('project_type'))); ?>"></i>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<div class="download">
<a href="<?php esc_url( the_permalink() ); ?>" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>" rel="bookmark">
View <?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</div>
</article>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<h2>No posts to display</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
Notice that the <div class="js-masonry"> is outside of the while.
for a project I am working on I have been trying to set up a wordpress post loop on a subpage which woould display all posts as a thumbnail image with the posts title underneath. However I do not get any posts listet but rather just one link referring to the subpage the gallery should be on. Could anyone help me out please?
Here is my code which is saved as page-gallery.php in my childthemes folder:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main" class="wrapper">
<?php global $query_string; if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="gallery_image_container">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<div class="gallery_image_thumb">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
</div>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
</a>
</div>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
The CSS is the following:
.gallery_container {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border: 10px solid #CCC;
margin: 20px;
}
I have created a jsfiddle to tell you what I want to achieve in the end: http://jsfiddle.net/vdpktLxr/
Your code just echos the content of your page "page-gallery.php" . For displaying POSTS you need to use another loop, for example something like this:
<?php
// The Query
query_posts( $args );
// The Loop
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo '<li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>';
endwhile;
// Reset Query
wp_reset_query();
?>

if you take a look on the above site i'm trying to insert a link to a page on each of the images on a carousel, so if you click anywhere on the image it will navigate to a new page. I have created the link i want on the post title text (ie. Look 1, Look 2 etc . . .) by using
<h2 class="postitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
but i can't for the life of me find the right PHP to create the same links on each of the carousel photos?
I'm still trying to get to grips with PHP if anyone could advise that would be great.thanks
this is the PHP
<div class="edit"><?php edit_post_link(); ?></div>
</div>
<div class="postcontent">
<?php
$content = $post->post_content;
$searchimages = '~<img [^>]* />~';
preg_match_all( $searchimages, $content, $pics );
$iNumberOfPics = count($pics[0]);
if ( $iNumberOfPics > 0 ) { ?>
<?php the_thumb('medium'); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="imgframe"></div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="post_content">
<h2 class="postitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages('<p class="pages"><strong>'.__('Pages:').'</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
<div class="post_meta">
<div class="author"><?php the_author(); ?></div>
<div class="date_meta"><?php the_date(); ?></div>
<div class="category_meta"><?php the_category(', '); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="postbg_bottom"></div>
<div class="social_links">
<a class="read" title="Read the rest of this post" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">read more</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="nxt_page"><?php previous_posts_link('New Entries »', 0); ?></div>
<div class="prv_page"><?php next_posts_link('« Old Entries', '0') ?></div>

You could try using the following instead of "the_thumb();"
add the following to your theme's 'functions.php'
// Add post thumbnail theme support
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
Then use the following to replace the 'the_thumb();'
if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
the_post_thumbnail();
I actually use this myself and created a plugin that links the post thumbnail to the post. It seems like you're trying to do the same kind of thing so I hope this works for you.
I understand you are using the PostThumb revisited plugin, correct? And if I read correctly, this plugin outputs a single picture with the_excerpt() . If that is the case, couldn't you just do this? :
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</a>
