Print category of post Wordpress - php

I have try all the functions related to print categories that the codex provide, but i havent found any way that works for me.
Im trying to print the categories slug for put it inside a class.
I want to print the category of the actual post in div with the class proyect, so then i can use it to filter with isotope.
<!-- feature posts -->
<div id="container">
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5&orderby=post_date&order=DESC'); ?>
<?php while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$id = get_the_ID(); ?>
<div class="proyect <?php wp_get_post_categories($id); ?>">
<div class="view view-tenth">
<a style="display:block;" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<article> <?php if ( function_exists("has_post_thumbnail") && has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail('', array("class" => "")); } ?></article>
</a>
<div class="mask">
<h2><?php echo substr(strip_tags(get_the_title()),0,35); ?></h2></a>
<p class="fecha-post"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></p>
<?php echo substr(strip_tags(get_the_content()),0,100); ?>
<a class="info" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Ver más...</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile;?>
</div>
<!-- #feature post -->

From http://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-category-slug-from-posts-in-the-loop:
<li class="<?php foreach(get_the_category() as $category) { echo $category->slug . ' ';} ?>">

You should be able to use:
$cats = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);
This will be an array of the categories associated with this post. Then you can loop through them and do whatever you need.

Wordpress Posts Page - loop is not showing latest post

I am relatively new to php.
I have a loop in place for my Wordpress posts page - The posts have to alternate between left and right alignments.
I have this working by assigning an even or odd class to each post, however now the latest post does not display on the posts page.
For example, if I have say 5 posts; 4 of the posts will display and the latest post will remain hidden until I make a new post - the previously hidden post will then join the others and the new "latest post" will remain hidden.
I can't figure out why my loop is skipping over the first post, I have already tried adding rewind_posts(); however this created an infinite loop of the same post.
Any help is much appreciated!
<?php
$postcount=1;
while(have_posts()) :
if( ($postcount % 2) == 0 ) $post_class = ' even';
else $post_class = ' odd';
?>
<div class="row">
<div id="stories-box-alt" class="stories-column-circle-main"
style="background-color:transparent;">
<div id="circle-shape" class="post <?php echo $post_class; ?>">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php the_field('post_preview_image'); ?>" class="curve">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<h3><span class="featured-title"><?php the_field('post_category'); ?> .
</span></h3>
<p><?php the_field('post_preview'); ?><br><a href="<?php the_permalink();
?>">read more...</a></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php $postcount++;
endwhile; ?>
<?php
$postcount=1;
while(have_posts()) :
?>
<div class="row">
<div id="stories-box-alt" class="stories-column-circle-main"
style="background-color:transparent;">
<div id="circle-shape" class="post <?php if(($postcount % 2) == 0){ ?> even <?php } else{ echo " odd"; }?>">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<img src="<?php the_field('post_preview_image'); ?>" class="curve">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<h3><span class="featured-title"><?php the_field('post_category'); ?> .
</span></h3>
<p><?php the_field('post_preview'); ?><br><a href="<?php the_permalink();
?>">read more...</a></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php $postcount++;
endwhile; ?>
OR
<?php echo $postcount % 2 == 0 ? ' even ': ' odd '; ?>
Please try to use the_post() first.
<?php
$postcount=1;
while(have_posts()) :
the_post();
if( ($postcount % 2) == 0 ) $post_class = ' even';
else $post_class = ' odd';
?>
<div class="row">
<div id="stories-box-alt" class="stories-column-circle-main"
style="background-color:transparent;">
<div id="circle-shape" class="post <?php echo $post_class; ?>">
<img src="<?php the_field('post_preview_image'); ?>" class="curve">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<h3><span class="featured-title"><?php the_field('post_category'); ?> .
</span></h3>
<p><?php the_field('post_preview'); ?><br><a href="<?php the_permalink();
?>">read more...</a></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php $postcount++;
endwhile; ?>
Basically there is a basic loop in wordpress to make what you want to do : https://wpchannel.com/wordpress/tutoriels-wordpress/afficher-articles-recents-site-wordpress/
You can modify this one with your own properties but this is usually loop used.

Wordpress - Get custom fields from custom post types

I'm a newbie and I'm creating an homepage where there are 4 blocks from this loop:
<?php $query = new WP_Query( [
'post_type' => 'cases',
'nopaging' => false,
'posts_per_page' => '4',
] ); ?>
<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="roundedframe">
<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<div id="case-study-box" style="background-image: url('<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>');" class="col-lg-6 col-sm-12">
<a class="portfolio-box " href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<div class="portfolio-box-caption">
<div class="portfolio-box-caption-content">
<div><img src="<?php echo $slideCentralImage['url']; ?>"></div>
<div class="project-name">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
</div>
<div class="portfolio-excpert">
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
Each block is a portfolio item which has many custom fields created with Advanced Custom Fields.
What I need is to get and display them on hover like a "caption".
Actually only the_title and the_permalinkg are working, but I don't know how to get the logo and the excerpt of them.
How can I achieve it?
You can use <?php echo get_field('whateverField');?> and do not forget to change return value image URL.
You can use get_field('<field_name>') to return or the_field('<field_name>') to print the values. You can read more here - https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/displaying-custom-field-values-in-your-theme/.
Just add like this <div><img src="<?php the_field('slide_central_image'); ?>"></div>, where slide_central_image is your image field name. Don't forgot to change 'Return Value' to 'Image URL'.

<span><?php the_category(' '); ?></span>
<?php the_title('<h4>', '</h4>'); ?>
Read more
</div>
</div>
<!--Close .case-study-box -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } else { ?>

AJAX Load More Plugin Loads Posts That are Already Shown

I am working on a site with a page that has multiple sections, each section has multiple loops featuring multiple categories. I use Ajax Load More plugin to load new posts for each sections. The issue is when I click on Load More, it loads both the posts already shown and the one that hasn't been shown. I want it to load only new posts not already shown.
Here is the shortcode I used:
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more container_type="div" post_type="post" posts_per_page="3" preloaded="true" preloaded_amount="4" pause="true" scroll="false" button_loading_label="Loading..." seo="true" category="church-music-news"]');
Here is the loop on on of the sections
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 col-sm-12">
<div class="music_box bg-color1">
<div class="music_box_top">
<?php
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
rsort( $sticky );
$args = array(
'post__in' => $sticky,
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'cat' => 34
);
$sticky_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $sticky_query->have_posts() ) : $sticky_query->the_post();
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<div class="fashion_box_thumb">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array() );
}
?>
</div>
</a>
<div class="fashion_box_text">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
</a>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<div class="post_cont_icons">
<span class="fa fa-comments cmnt"> <?php comments_number('0','1','%'); ?></span>
<?php echo getPostLikeLink(get_the_ID());?>
<span class="matchtime2"><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> <?php the_time();?><br></span>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div><!--music_box_top-->
<div class="fashion_box_bottom">
<?php
$args = array(
'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'cat' => 34
);
$sticky_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$count = 0;
while ( $sticky_query->have_posts() ) : $sticky_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php if ($count == 1) :
?>
<div class="fashion_box_bottom_item">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
</a>
</div>
<?php elseif ($count == 2) : ?>
<div class="fashion_box_bottom_item">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
</a>
</div>
<?php elseif ($count == 3) : ?>
<div class="fashion_box_bottom_item">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
</a>
</div>
<?php elseif ($count == 4) : ?>
<div class="fashion_box_bottom_item">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
</a>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div><!--music_box_bottom-->
</div><!--music_box-->
</div><!--col-lg-12-->
<?php else :
get_template_part( 'woodclefpro/pro_template3' );
endif;
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div><!--row-->
<div class="row">
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more container_type="div" post_type="post" posts_per_page="3" preloaded="true" preloaded_amount="4" pause="true" scroll="false" button_loading_label="Loading..." seo="true" category="church-music-news"]');
?>
</div>
This is for those that might come across the question above and are facing the same issue that I was. Here is how I solved it.
Add the code below right before endwhile
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
Add this inside your shortcode: post__not_in="'.$post__not_in.'"
Then your final shortcode looks like this:
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more ajax_load_more post__not_in="'.$post__not_in.'" container_type="div" post_type="post" posts_per_page="3" preloaded="true" preloaded_amount="4" pause="true" scroll="false" button_loading_label="Loading..." seo="true" category="church-music-news"]');
Not quite right. The fact is that on the page of one of the Addons to this plugin say that the template output single entry, for example "single.php" should be nothing but a shortcode. All content single.php should be placed in the template used by the plugin. Sorry for the crooked English.
https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/add-ons/single-posts/
Note: Ajax Load More will take care of loading ALL posts, including
the initial post when a user lands on the page. All that should remain
in your single.php loop is the ajax_load_more shortcode (as seen
above).

How do I remove the most recent post from the sidebar in Wordpress?

On both the front page and the blog page - the sidebar shows the most recent post, which I find doesn't look very good duplicated against the same post expanded on the main page.
This is my code for the sidebar:
<div class="blog-sidebar">
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="blog-sidebar-feature">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<div class="blog-sidebar-image"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?></div>
<?php
}
?>
<div class="blog-sidebar-content">
<p class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></p>
<h3 <strong><?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
echo $category->cat_name . ' ';
}
?></strong></h3>
<h2 <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title=""><?php the_title();
?></a></p></h2><?php echo get_excerpt(166); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile;?>
<br />
<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
</div>
and the relevant code for how the blog appears on the home page:
<div class="blog-sidebar">
<div class="blog-sidebar-feature">
<?php query_posts('orderby=date&order=DESC&showposts=2'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<div class="blog-sidebar-image"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?></div>
<?php
}
?>
<div class="blog-sidebar-content">
<p class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></p>
<h3 <strong><?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
echo $category->cat_name . ' ';
}
?></strong></h3>
<h2 <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
rel="bookmark" title=""><?php the_title(); ?></a></p></h2><?php echo get_excerpt(166); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile;?>
</div>
</div>
<div id="connect">
<?php query_posts('page_id=1');
while (have_posts()): the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div>
Is there any way to remove only the most recent post from the sidebar when it appears in full on the main container? Thanks in advance for any help.
UPDATE V2
So you do want recent posts, just not the post currently showing in the main content.
UPDATE V3:
This should work now. I had to change arguments of query_posts to array to make it work.
Try it now:
<?
global $wp_query;
$skip_posts=array();
if (is_single()) //only exclude posts when single post is shown
$skip_posts[]=$wp_query->post->ID;
?>
<?php query_posts( array( 'showposts'=>5,'post__not_in'=>$skip_posts)); ?>
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=5&offset=1'); ?>
Thanks to 850010 for all the help, I went back and had a look at the offset rule and the 'array' wasn't needed. Deceptively simple.
