This might be a good read for you. I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking to do so I’ll lay this out in a simple format.
This query will pull all Posts under the Post Type recipes
where the custom field side-dishes
exists. You can then loop through and display them how you would like.
$recipes = new WP_Query(
array(
'post_type' => 'recipes',
'posts_per_page' => 8,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'side-dishes'
'compare' => 'EXISTS'
)
)
)
);
This 2nd query will pull all posts under the taxonomy my_taxonomy_name_here
which you will need to replace with your taxonomy. It looks for categories with the slug my_category_slug_here
which you will need to replace with the category slug. You can replace ‘slug’ with ID and pull it based off that if you’d like.
$recipes = new WP_Query(
array(
'post_type' => 'recipes',
'posts_per_page' => 8,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'my_taxonomy_name_here',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'my_category_slug_here'
)
)
)
);
You can then loop through each post like a normal loop:
<?php if($recipes->have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while($recipes->have_posts()) : $recipes->the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
