This may be a basic question but i cant seem to find a correct solution.
In advanced custom fields I have set up a Field Group CD, in CD there are three fields, title, info, author and the group shows if the category = CD
Therefore when i make a new post with category CD I fill these three fields. There are 10 Posts in the CD categories.
Now the issue I am having is displaying all the posts on a page.
Here is the code I tried
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'cat' => '6', 'CD' => ( get_query_var('CD') ? get_query_var('CD') : 1 ), ));
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
get_post_meta();
} // end while
} // end if
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
This returned an error Warning: Missing argument 1 for get_post_meta(), called in /Volumes/shared/Digital/_Websites/londonconchord/wp-content/themes/conchord/t-disc.php on line 25 and defined in /Volumes/shared/Digital/_Websites/londonconchord/wp-includes/post.php on line 1792
I tried a different attempt
<p><?php query_posts( 'cat=6' );
the_field('title');
the_field('info');
the_field('author'); ?></p>
I had more luck here as I was printing some information, however only the 1st post in the category and it kept repeating, i wanted all 10 posts and no repeat.
I think im close just looking for those final pointers
Thanks
My solution (Finally,) Hope this can help others
<?php
$args = array('cat' => 6);
$category_posts = new WP_Query($args);
if($category_posts->have_posts()) :
while($category_posts->have_posts()) :
$category_posts->the_post();
?>
<div class="article">
<div class="articleinfo">
<h3><?php the_field('title'); ?></h3>
<?php the_field('author'); ?>
<?php the_field('label'); ?>
</div>
<img src="<?php the_field('cd_image'); ?>" height="200" width="200" alt="cd-image" />
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
else:
?>
Oops, there are no posts.
<?php
endif;
?>
Loops through all posts and pulls the ACF i needed
Seems get_post_meta() has variables and your are missing it.
Like get_post_meta($var) expected but your are just calling get_post_meta(). Hope it helps.
You're not querying properly I don't think.
You need to grab the field
get_field('YOUR FIELD NAME') );
Then loop through and grab what you need as a subfield.
the_sub_field('YOUR SUB FIELD');
Example
<?php if(get_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')): while(has_sub_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')): ?>
<img class="logo" src="<?php the_sub_field('logo'); ?>" />
<h1><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></h1>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
For an example. Hope this helps... let me know.
I couldn't get ether of the solutions above to work, thank you though guys for your input,
here is my solution so far
<h3><?php the_field('title', 475); ?></h3>
<?php the_field('info', 475); ?>
<?php the_field('author', 475); ?>
</div>
<img src="<?php the_field('cd_image', 475); ?>" height="200" width="200" alt="" />
Then I just repeated this and changed the id from 475 to others, now ive pulled in all the posts however the downfall is that any new posts i have to add in this code again.
Can i use a wp query to pull these 4 fields in a variable and then print that variable, then loop through the category until all posts are printed?

I have a related posts slider but currently there is not enough posts to actually slide. The design is such that it's not a simple case of displaying the posts but not sliding them until there is more.
As a short term solution, I am trying to find a way to loop through the posts twice to give the appearance of an infinite loop.
I am using slick slider and initially tried the settings:
infinite: true,
loop: true
but I can't get it to work even though apparently that should do the trick.
I am now trying to just pull through the posts twice
I have tried adjusting the count to things like
$count+1;
$count = 2
$count+=5;
All sorts of variations but I think I am way off base.
I would appreciate any help or a point in the right documentation. I have been reading about iterations but I can't grasp how they would be included in this as I had help with this from another developer.
<div class="log-book-carousel">
<?php
$current_page_id = get_the_ID();
$args = [

'post__not_in' => [$current_page_id]
];
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php
// Start our WP Query
while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post();
// Display the Post Title with Hyperlink
?>
<div class="slides match-height">

endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

I am trying to have two different queries in my Loop, which is located in index.php. I am working with WP codex, but it isnt working. I want to have every post in its own special DIV later, so this is just start of my work.
The problem is, that the second part of code doesnt work, and I have no idea why. As far as I have read the codex, everything should be fine. Please help me.
<div class="col1">
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_A tym=featured&posts_per_page=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>
<!-- Do stuff... -->
<?php get_template_part('content', get_post_format()); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!--Over here everything works fine!-->
<!--This code doesnt show up. It is supossed to show 1 post, only heading and date with author. But it doesnt show nothing at all.-->
<?php
$my_queryOne = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=1');
while ($my_queryOne->have_posts()) : $my_queryOne->the_post();
if ($post->ID == $do_not_duplicate)
continue;
?>
<!-- Do stuff... -->
<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
<?php
endwhile;
?>
</div>
WP_Query takes an array as a parameter - i.e.
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'category_name' => 'featured','posts_per_page' => 1 ));
Also, when running multiple queries - use wp_reset_postdata() after the first loop.
Great examples here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
Its probably best to review the coding guidelines that WordPress has laid out. You need to ensure that every open and close tag for inline PHP is on its own line.
Check here for reference:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/php/#opening-and-closing-php-tags
Hope someone can help me, I've been struggling for days on this trying to find the answer...
Basically, I have a wordpress site that has a slider (not a plug-in just open source code) which is called to using a 'get_template' but it displays the same three posts on every single page. I have different posts in different categories and want the slider to correspond on each separate page and echo the posts from each particular category.
<div id="slidorion">
<div id="slider">
<?php
query_posts( 'posts_per_page=3' );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="slide">"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div id="accordion">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="link-header"><?php the_title(); ?></div>
<div class="link-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
here is a link to the site if you need to see it to totally understand what I mean and need to do...

Thanks!
You should alter your query adding cat or category to your query_posts( 'posts_per_page=3' ); according to what you exactly want
see Query_posts () and also have a look at WP_Query class
you need to use find out the category ids from each post, then use these ids in the
$category = get_the_category();
$post_catid= $category[0]->term_id;
$querystr='cat='.$post_catid.'&posts_per_page=3';
query_posts($querystr);
Its been a while since ive done wordpress templating and for some reason i cant get the archives.php to work. i have this:
<?php
/* Template Name: Archives */
get_header(); ?>
<div id='content'>
<?php get_sidebar('left'); ?>
<div id='column2-wide'>
<?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<?php if ( in_category(16) ) { ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="post">
<?php echo the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div><!-- column2 -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Then created a page in the admin and chosen the Archives template to be used from the dropdown.
However the posts just dont seem to show. Am i missing something? The very same code works in the index.php file. It seems its just not working when im trying to display posts in a page.
It could well be im missing a file as I started developing the theme using a skeleton theme by Kennethreitz which can be found here:
https://github.com/kennethreitz/wordpress-theme-skeleton/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

EDIT--> Also ive removed the category check so it should just list all posts but instead what it does is just echo the title of the current page if that helps
I'm assuming that "16" is the category ID? According to the WordPress docs for in_category, if you're querying by ID it should be passed as an integer.
$category
(mixed) (required) One or more categories specified by ID
(integer), name or slug (string), or an array of these
With your current code, the in_category check is failing every time since it is checking for an association with the category named "16." Try this instead:
if ( in_category(16) ) {
...
}
Thanks to the help provided by Hans. This is what I did:
query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'foo', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="post">
<?php echo the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
I've edited the single.php to suit my needs and it works. I only left in the part of the loop in in which is as follows:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry ยป</p>'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?> </div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
It only displayes the text, like I want it to.
The problem I get is when I add the following code to be used as the sidebar in the template;
<?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile;?>
It should display the title of the last 10 posts. But now the loop also is displaying the latest (full0 10 posts instead of just the one post that belongs to the permalink... I think a variable or so is being reused and needs to be rest.. Note that in the single.php first you get the 'sidebar' code, and then you get the 'loop' code.
So why is wordpress behaving this way?
The reason this happens is because Wordpress is a nightmarish maze of global variables. query_posts() is one of the worst offenders. If you check the documentation for this function, you'll see that they even have to warn you to basically not use it:
Important note
The query_posts function is intended
to be used to modify the main page
Loop only. It is not intended as a
means to create secondary Loops on the
page. If you want to create separate
Loops outside of the main one, you
should create separate WP_Query
objects and use those instead. Use of
query_posts on Loops other than the
main one can result in your main Loop
becoming incorrect and possibly
displaying things that you were not
expecting.
They've added some object oriented stuff that you can use now instead, namely the WP_Query object (why they haven't revamped the "main" pages to get rid of the ridiculous "The Loop" stuff yet is questionable).
You're going to want to do something like this in the sidebar:
<?php
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
$recentPosts->query('showposts=10');
while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile;?>
Google around about how to use WP_Query if you want more examples.
query('showposts=10');
while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) :
$recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
"
rel="bookmark" title="Link to ">
reading the code u putting in the sidebar, u are trying to get the last 10 titles of posts to show in sidebar , right ? if so u can just use this line :
`<?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=10'); ?>
