Because you’re in The Loop, you shouldn’t need to use get_the_ID(). Does this: <div class=”latest”> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div class=”boxes”> <?php echo “<p>”.the_meta().”</p>”; ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/109423/<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,”promotional_link’, true); ?>”> <?php //var_dump($show); ?> <img src=”<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘promotional_image’, true); ?>” height=”200″ width=”260″> </a> </div><!–boxes–> … Read more
Problem 2: displaying the 3 panels. Do I set these up as individual children elements? If so, how can I style each one differently as it loops through? There are only 3 items. Don’t loop through them. Use get_posts() to place them in an array and then step through each array item: $panels = get_posts( … Read more
Based on this comment: I would like to display all posts on the single-custom-post-type You’re saying that, in the single CPT post view, you want to display both the single CPT post, and also a list of all CPT posts in the same category.

If I’m following things correctly, I think the problem is that your shortcode callback echoes, rather than returns its content – and that you have it set up that way in order for the shortcode content to output outside of the post content. If that’s the case, you’re taking the wrong approach. Your shortcode callback … Read more
The ID has to be unique for all the posts, so I would suggest that you concatenate btn1-ID> in your code. That and change your jquery selector code. That should do the trick!
Don’t use query_posts(). Try: <?php $query = new WP_Query(‘orderby=title&order=ASC&posts_per_page=-1’); if ($query->have_posts()) : while ($query->have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
the_content( ); vs get_the_content(); The different is pretty simple actually. If you find yourself annoyed with formatting of the content, more specifically the added p-tags that WordPress puts into the content that you didn’t. Just use get_the_content(); and you will remove those tags. Normally the get_the_content() tag returns the content WITHOUT formatting. Only the_content() will … Read more
Use this in your child themes functions.php file add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category_posts’ ); function exclude_category_posts( $query ) { if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) { $query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-27,-30′ ); } } Add a comma separated list of category i.d’s to the set. Never Use Query Posts

You can then set paged to the page number you want, and posts_per_page to however many you want on each page. Right now you don’t set a … Read more
