Tuns out it needed: global $post Complete working code: <div class=”aboutgridcont”> <ul class=”about-us-grid”> <li> <?php global $post; $posts = get_posts(‘post_type=employee&orderby=rand&numberposts=16′); foreach($posts as $post) { ?> <img class=”headshot” src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/196622/<?php the_field(“headshot’); ?>”> <?php } ?> </ul> </div>
This part require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); is all kinds of bad idea. And if your file is indeed in plugin folder then header isn’t even in that location. Custom loads of WordPress core are brittle and the technique is typically only justifiable for performance reasons. It would be better to structure your endpoint via creating actual rewrite endpoint, … Read more
As you are looking at post IDs, you should be using meta_value_num instead of meta_value as your key. This will indicate to WP how to handle the comparison.
@Milo’s answer worked perfectly (see comment above). if (in_array($post->ID, $do_not_duplicate)) continue; meant that duplicate posts were still being counted in the loop, though not being displayed.

But what you could do is run two separate queries to get all of the IDs that qualify, and then use those IDs in a 3rd query with post__in. For example: $cat_query_args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘cat’ … Read more

Then in the Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays, select “A static page”, and choose the page you created. To create a WordPress “Loop” within a page, you … Read more
If you want max_num_pages, you need to use WP_Query instead of get_posts. You can then use $your_query_object->max_num_pages in your code. offset and paged don’t work together, because both of them ultimately set LIMIT in the MySQL query. offset query parameter will always override paged. If you want to offset the results, you need to do … Read more
