How To Show Number of Posts in WordPress? Not Working - php

I can’t figure out why this won’t work? I have more than 15 posts but they’re getting cut off the page.
The site: http://gruntsandco.com/
My loop:
<?php $latest = new WP_Query('showposts=15'); ?>
<?php while( $latest->have_posts() ) : $latest->the_post(); ?>
Loopageness
<?php endwhile; ?>

You can try 'posts_per_page' attribute for WP Query.
<?php $latest = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=15'); ?>
<?php while( $latest->have_posts() ) : $latest->the_post(); ?>
Loopageness
<?php endwhile; ?>
If you want to show all posts just set this parametr to -1.

Unlimited posts in custom layout PHP

Currently I am working on a Wordpress website with the posts showing in two columns running with a PHP code. The problem I am facing is that the posts showing on the website are limited to 10. Does anyone know where in the code I can make a change to show unlimited posts? Or do I need a whole new PHP code for this?
Would like to hear from you!
This is the code I am using
<?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
if($i == 0) {echo '<div class="ng-row">';}?>
<div class="half">
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php $i++; if($i == 2) {$i = 0;echo '</div>';}?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php if($i > 0) {echo '</div>';}?>
<?php endif; ?>
I've tried to change the numbers but it didn't work out well..
For an unlimited return set the posts_per_page to -1
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'set_posts_per_page' );
function set_posts_per_page( $query ) {
// This will set the query to return all results
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', -1 );
return $query;
}
Although be aware that this can be very bad for performance depending on the amount of posts. It should really only be done if you have a limited result set and know what that is.

How to : Populate Content of Page to another page in WordPress

I am using OptionTree for WordPress option panel, I am getting the page ID, and using that page ID I want to populate the content of the page to another page. Here is my code:
<?php
$test_input = ot_get_option( 'for_myapp_features' );
?>
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( 'page_id=$test_input' ); ?>
<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
Any help would be helpful.
You can use get_post_field and get_the_title() to get
content and title.
$test_input = ot_get_option('for_myapp_features');
echo get_post_field('post_title', $test_input); // to get the title
//or
//echo get_the_title($test_input); // to get the title
echo get_post_field('post_content', $test_input); //to get the content
Hope this helps!
If you want to display the content for that page, then add the_content() within your while loop. the_content() will display the page’s content. I would also add a query reset, wp_reset_query();, after the endwhile to restores the global post data to the original query.

Php continue not working if not empty?

I am having a loop and that loop has only sticky posts in it. So my logic works like this:
"If Sticky Posts are "EMPTY" break the loop". That code works as expected and looks like this:
<?php //we will get "Sticky Posts" only with this loop and exlude Featured Category
$category = get_cat_ID('Featured');
$col = 1; //Let's create first column
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
$args = array(
/* Add whatever you need here - see http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query */
'paged' => $paged,
'category__not_in' => array($category),
'post__in' => $sticky,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
);
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
/*Below is IMPORTANT PART*/
if($wp_query->have_posts()):?><?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
$wp_query->the_post();if(empty($sticky))break;?>
<div <?php post_class('col'.$col); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php if ($col == 1) echo '<div class="row">';//If column 1 create first row ?>
<?php if ($col == 2) echo '<div class="row2">';//If column 2 create second row ?>
<h3 class="mytitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class="entry">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ):?>
<div class="featured_img">
<?php
the_post_thumbnail();
echo '<div class="featured_caption">' . get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt . '</div>';
?>
</div><!--/featured_img-->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php // let's enable more link on pages...
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>
<?php the_content(__('Read more','override')); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="custom_fields"><?php the_meta(); ?></div><br/>
<p class="postmetadata">
<?php _e('Filed under:','override'); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php _e('by','override'); ?> <?php the_author(); ?><br/><?php the_tags(__('Tags:','override'), ', ', '<br />'); ?>
<?php _e('Posted on: ','override'); ?><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?><br/>
<?php if ( comments_open() ) {
comments_popup_link(__('No Comments »','override'), __('1 Comment »','override'), __('% Comments »','override'));}
else {
_e('Comments are disabled!','override');
}
?>
<?php edit_post_link(__(' Edit','override'), __(' |','override'), ''); ?>
</p>
</div><!--/entry-->
</div><!--/post_class-->
<?php /*Enable Two Column Layout*/
if($col==1) {
$col=2;
echo "</div>";
}
else if($col==2) {
$col=1;
echo "</div>";
}
endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?><!--END if THE LOOP (Sticky)-->
<?php
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = $temp;
wp_reset_query();
?>
Now before this working code I tried a different logic that goes like this:
"If NOT EMPTY continue the loop" so now everything in my code stays the same except:if($wp_query->have_posts()):?><?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
$wp_query->the_post();if(empty($sticky))break;?> so now that code becomes:if($wp_query->have_posts()):?><?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
$wp_query->the_post();if(!empty($sticky))continue;?>
Now this is where i got confused because if(!empty($sticky))continue; part does not work as expected because my loop CONTINUES (returns other posts) even if there are no "Stickies". I thought that loop will STOP if there are no stickies but it is not the case. My var_dump($sticky)
shows this if there are sticky postsarray(1) { [0]=> int(214) } and shows this if there are no stickiesarray(0) { }.
My question is: Why the loop continues to return other posts if using if(!empty($sticky))continue; (i thought it will return ONLY "Stickies" if they exist and return NOTHING if they are not here. )
Thank you!!
First off, let me poit out that your logic doesn't quite agree with your code :).
From what I understand from your code, you want to iterate all posts WP_Query() returned, but only render sticky ones. Your if is inside the wile loop, so you have to check if the current post is sticky or not. However, if(empty($sticky)) doesn't do that. It checks if there are any sticky posts at all. A way to check the current post would be if(is_sticky(the_ID())).
Now, concerning continue:
From the php manual:
continue is used within looping structures to skip the rest of the
current loop iteration and continue execution at the condition
evaluation and then the beginning of the next iteration.
So as you can see, continue doesn't stop the loop, but rather attempts to start the next iteration ignoring the rest of the code for the current step. Which is what you want, if the current post is not sticky, in other words if(!is_sticky(the_ID())).
However, I think you don't really need any check at all, since you already specified that you want WP_Query() to fetch only stickies ('post__in' => $sticky).
See also: this WordPress Answers topic.
I don't know well the wordpress code, but in that code, the $sticky variable is never updated in the while loop. So maybe you have to add $sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' ); right before the if condition.

Picking the most recent post in WordPress with php

I am trying to do an if/else-statement on my WP-template. But i can't seem to pick the right element.
I wan't it to look for the latest post on the blog. I already added a script that add a class of .first to the latest post.
What im trying to do in dummy-php-language:
<?php
if ( class is .first) { do something to .first}
else () { do something to everything else }
?>
i've looked in the wp-documentation. But i can't seem to find anything that will select "latest post"...
Thanks
Jonas
A very simple solution would be to keep a count of the post you're at, and do something if it's the first. In the index.php, in the have_posts() loop:
<?php if (have_posts()) : $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $count++; ?>
<?php if($count ==1) ?>
// do something to first
<?php else ?>
// do something to everything else
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Is the syntax problematic with this PHP code for Wordpress?

Seems like the problem with this is the PHP syntax, but no luck in Wordpress forums. This first code block generates a link to the newest post in category "posts."
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=posts&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This next code block should display the custom field data for the latest post in "posts," with the key of the custom field being "qanda." But it doesn't and it displays nothing.
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=posts&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "qanda", $single = true); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Thanks, Mark
try renaming your second query, otherwise Wordpress will think it is already done
<?php
$my_other_query = new WP_Query('category_name=posts&showposts=1');
while ($my_other_query->have_posts()) : $my_other_query->the_post();
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "qanda", true);
endwhile;
?>
Apart fromthat $single = true should just be true it looks OK... try var_dump instead of echo and see what you get.
You might need to name it something different. Wordpress might think that you have already done that set of posts, so it is starting at the end, which means it doesn't have anymore posts to process.
