I am creating a newspaper website that will have Volumes and Issues. Volumes increment yearly, issues increment weekly. I have created a custom post type of article with a taxonomy of issue.
Currently the code below will get the most recent post from the article with the most recent issue taxonomy. I want it to get all of the posts from the most recent issue. I figured out I can get the next post by changing $issue[0]->slug to $issue[1]->slug. I realize I just need a loop but I cant quite figure it out.
Your help is appreciated.
<?php
$issue = get_terms('issue','orderby=none&order=DESC');
$latest_edition = $issue[0]->slug;
query_posts('&post_type=article&gdsr_sort=thumbs&gdsr_order=desc&issue='. $latest_edition) . '&showposts=99'; ?>
You're not looping through your posts. You need to do something like:
// Returns an array issues
$issue = get_terms('issue','orderby=none&order=DESC');
// You want the most recent issue
// i.e. that which has an array key of 0
$latest_edition = $issue[0]->slug;
// Return all the posts for this issue
query_posts('&post_type=article&gdsr_sort=thumbs&gdsr_order=desc&issue='. $latest_edition) . '&showposts=99';
// Loop through each post
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// Echo out whatever you want
echo '<li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>';
endwhile;
Thx for the answer #hohner.It really helped me to go ahead with my issue. #Aaron Snyder for the complete result you can add some loop with your taxonomy information like this for showing all posts results
$latest_edition = $issue[0]->slug;
$latest_edition = $issue[0]->term_id;
$postsart = get_posts(array(
'showposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'articles',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'articles-tax',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => $latest_edition)
))
);
Try it helped me and tell if it helped you or not

I have found this question:
Wordpress outside loop sort by category and time
But there is not a lot of context provided in the question or answer to know if it is applicable to me. I am using the popular genesis framework and a child theme. I don't want to modify any core WP files because they would be overwritten on updates. I think this can be done through my functions.php or front-page.php file.
I have 25 posts listed at a time. Within those 25 posts, I would like to have any post that is from category one be listed on top and those from category two listed afterwards. Within the category one and category two loops, the posts would be listed by time of entry as normal.
What would be the best way to do this?

You need two loop one for categories and one for posts.
So you can try this type of code
/*category args for listed according to name in assending order*/
$category_arg = array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$all_cat = get_categories($category_arg);
/*Loop for all category*/
foreach ($all_cat as $key => $cat) {
/*Query for post of perticular category with orderby posted date*/
$args = array(
'cat' => $cat->cat_ID,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
) ;
query_posts( $args );
echo '
<div class="one-category-block">
<h1>'.$cat->cat_name.'</h1>';
echo '<ul>';
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo '<li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>
';
endwhile;
echo '</ul>
</div>';
wp_reset_query();
}
Try this type of code , then let me know the result.
Thanks
All right. You won't be able to do that on the query directly, I'm afraid.
However, it's still easy to do. First, get the posts out of the query into an array:
$posts = array();
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
array_push($posts, $post);
}
Then sort that array:
usort($posts, function($a, $b) {
if(has_term("mycategory", "mytaxonomy", $a->ID) && !has_term("mycategory", "mytaxonomy", $b->ID)) return -1;
if(!has_term("mycategory", "mytaxonomy", $a->ID) && has_term("mycategory", "mytaxonomy", $b->ID)) return 1;
return $b->post_date - $a->post_date;
});
I've made it so that posts having mycatgegory in the mytaxonomy taxonomy will be on top, but generally sorted by post date.
Then just use a regular foreach loop to iterate over the (now sorted) posts
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
// continue outputting the posts here
}
wp_reset_postdata();
setup_postdata() is there to make sure that you can use get_the_ID(), get_permalink() et cetera without changing your code.
I have a pretty complicated query that I have not been able to get to work the way I need it to.
I have a Wordpress install using the plugins WP Courseware and ACF. I need to display a page of courses associated with the current user. I want the links to lead the user to the course "home" pages that the user should hit prior to starting the course. I have created course "home" pages, but the problem is WP Courseware has no way to associate a page with a course. So I had to use an ACF options repeater that associates the course ID with whatever course pages are necessary. The only way I know that one of those associated pages is the course "home" page is by the template I use for course home pages.
So the loops within loops need to first determine what courses the current user has access to, get those course IDs, loop the ACF options repeater to find the pages associated with those course IDs, then of those pages loop to find out which one (there is only one per course) uses the course home page template. This last loop I discovered needs to be a WP_Query loop as that's the only way to query for a Wordpress template.
I am lost in loops and I'm having the hardest time. I thought it might be simpler and most direct to use the WP_Query to query an array meta_queries of both the Wordpress template and the ACF repeater (to determine is the ACF repeater course ID matches the course ID the user has access to) but my attempts at querying ACF repeater sub fields is not working.
Here's my code:
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $user->ID;
$user_course_list = WPCW_users_getUserCourseList($user_id);
$course_association_arr = get_field('course_association', 'option');
// Loop through user's courses
foreach ( $user_course_list as $user_course ) :
$course_id = $user_course->course_id;
$course_title = $user_course->course_title;
// Loop through the ACF course ID/page associations
foreach ( $course_association_arr as $course_association ) :
$assoc_course_id = $course_association['wp_courseware_id'];
if ( $course_id == $assoc_course_id ) :
// Loop through the ACF associated pages
foreach ( $course_association['associated_pages'] as $associated_page ) :
$page_id = $associated_page->ID;
$page_url = $associated_page->guid;
echo '<li>'. $course_title . '</li>';
endforeach;
endif;
endforeach;
endforeach;
This displays all pages associated with a user's courses, not just the ones using the course home template. I somehow have to incorporate a WP_Query with these args in there and nothing I have done has worked:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_wp_page_template',
'value' => 'page-course-home.php',
),
)
);
If I could somehow turn the WP query into an if statement (if template = page-course-home.php) I could have that inside the associated pages query to only show course home pages. Or there maybe another more brilliant way to do what I need to do. I appreciate all feedback.
Ok I got something to work! I think spending so much time framing the question here helped me see one way I could do it:
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $user->ID;
$user_course_list = WPCW_users_getUserCourseList($user_id);
$course_association_arr = get_field('course_association', 'option');
// Loop through user's courses
foreach ( $user_course_list as $user_course ) :
$course_id = $user_course->course_id;
$course_title = $user_course->course_title;
// Loop through the ACF course ID/page associations
foreach ( $course_association_arr as $course_association ) :
$assoc_course_id = $course_association['wp_courseware_id'];
if ( $course_id == $assoc_course_id ) :
// Loop through the ACF associated pages
foreach ( $course_association['associated_pages'] as $associated_page ) :
$page_id = $associated_page->ID;
$page_url = $associated_page->guid;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'page_id' => $page_id,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_wp_page_template',
'value' => 'page-course-home.php',
),
)
);
$course_assoc_pages = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $course_assoc_pages->have_posts() ) :
while ( $course_assoc_pages->have_posts() ) : $course_assoc_pages->the_post();
echo '<li>'. $course_title . '</li>';
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
endforeach;
endif;
endforeach;
endforeach;
This seems a bit cumbersome, but it works. I'm not sure if it would be better but it seems more elegant to incorporate the ACF subfield query into the meta query, so could eliminate two of the loops. If anyone has any thoughts on this I would love to hear them.
I want to loop through two different custom post types to find out what should be displayed. In CPT project I want to now the name of the house, in CPT portfolio I want to know the category. If these two are the same, I want a certain content from the project CPT to be shown.
On this page you're on the single-portfolio.php.
The code below have two errors (at least) the first one is that all the projects house types ($houseType) displays for no reason and the second one is that the content within the second loop doesn't display at all.
So, to try to make this a bit more clear:
I want to display the name and the city of the project which house type name matches the portfolio category (which is the name of the house type)
$args = array('post_type' => 'project');
$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $my_query->have_posts()) while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$houseType = the_field('hustyp');
$argsPort = array(
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'portfolio_category',
'field' => 'slug', //can be set to ID
'terms' => $houseType
)));
$port_query = new WP_Query($argsPort);
if( $port_query->have_posts()) while ($port_query->have_posts()) : $port_query->the_post(); ?>
<tr>
<td><?php the_field('brf')?>/<?php the_field('ort')?></td>
</tr>
<?php
endwhile;
?>
<?php
endwhile;
I don't know if the best way to go is by creating an own query or something like that.
Any ideas?
UPDATE
Okay, I made some progress and finally realized that the_field displays the field and therefor I should use get_field. But I still don't know how to compare the two different post types to see if it is a match, and after that display only the matches. I'm thinking that creating an array can be a solution, but don't know how to go forward. As you can see in my new code below.
New code:
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'portfolio', 'project' ));
$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $my_query->have_posts()) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
//Returns All Term Items for "my_taxonomy"
$term_list_portfolio = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'portfolio_category', array("fields" => "all"));
// Just get the category
$category = $term_list[0]->name;
// Get the house type
$houseType = get_field('hustyp');
$result = array($term_list[0]->name, get_field('hustyp'));
print_r($result);
if($category == $houseType) { ?>
<tr>
<td><?php the_field('brf')?><?php the_field('ort') ?>
<?php }
endwhile;
}
Try to reset query <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> before second wp_query reffer
I'm creating a Wordpress site were I would like to show "tiles" with content from the site on the front page. These tiles are custom post types from the site like "our services", "consultants", "blog posts" and so on.
I know how to show one custom post type in Wordpress, but the problem is that I need to pull multiple post types in the same loop as I want them to be displayed in a matrix. Another problem is that I need to shuffle all the items in a random order, so that for example not all blogs just show in one place but all objects show after different items in random.
The third problem is that I need to show all items for a certain post type and just the latest for another. For example do I need to show all "our services" tiles, but only a couple of the "blog" tiles.
Is this possible to do, or can you not pull out records in this way using Wordpress?
Thank you for the help!
I suggest reading up on custom wordpress queries https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
For the first question you just need to specify
'post_type' => array( 'tiles', 'consultants', 'post' )
for the second question
'orderby' => 'rand'
so you will have something like
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'tiles', 'consultants', 'post' ),
'orderby' => 'rand'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
For the third question - I'm not sure if it is possible to achieve with one query.
you can customise the things like this ,
$posttypes = array('post_typ1','post_typ2','post_typ3');
$randompost_typs = shuffle($posttypes);
$counter = count($posttypes);
for($i=0; $i<$counter;$i++) {
// suppose you want to show all posts from post_type1 then
if($randompost_typs[$i]=='post_typ1') {
$posts_per_page = -1;
} elseif($randompost_typs[$i]=='post_typ2') { // will work for 2nd post type
$post_per_page = 5; // show 5 posts from this post type
} else {
$post_per_page = 3; // show 3 posts from last post type
}
// here you will use the WP_Query class from wordpress
$args = array(
'post_type' => $posttypes[$i],
'orderby' => 'rand',
'posts_per_page' => $post_per_page
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if($query->have_posts()) : while($query->have_posts()): $query->the_post();
// all the remaining wp loop content for example
the_title();
the_excerpt();
endwhile;
else:
echo 'no posts';
endif;
}
hope this will help, let me know if it has any issue.
I've got some custom post types set up in Wordpress using Pods and linking them using relationship fields. Now I'd like to display (and link to) the related custom posts 'postB' from a single post 'postA'. I also just want to display those posts which got a date in the future, which is also stored in a custom field in 'postB'.
This is what I've currently got so far, put into a theme template file (single-posta.php):
<?php
$id = get_the_ID();
$params = array(
'where' => 'postB.ID IN ('.$id.')',
'limit' => -1, // Return all
//'oderby' => 'postB.customDate, (order is not working, so I commented it out)
//'order' => 'ASC'
);
$postsB = pods( 'postB', $params );
if ( 0 < $postsB->total() ) {
while ( $postsB->fetch() ) {
?>
<p>
<?php echo $postsB->display( 'title' ); ?><br>
<?php echo $postsB->display( 'customDate' ); ?><br>
</p>
<?php
}
}
?>
So how can I
order the results?
link to these posts?
limit them to dates in the future?
Btw. is this the right way to get those posts anyway?
You could use WP_Query too, but since you're using the Pods find() syntax, I'll give you the correct code for what you're after using that:
$params = array(
'where' => 'postB.ID IN ('.$id.')',
'limit' => -1, // Return all
'orderby' => 'customDate.meta_value ASC'
);
$postsB = pods( 'postB', $params );
Pods doesn't let you create fields with capital letters though, so it's likely you created that one outside of Pods, correct? Just double checking, if it was created with Pods it would be named 'customdate'
