Alternate custom content in the loop

You could initialize a second counter variable that increments when your first counter variable increments, and use that with modulus to alternate your code blocks. First initialize two counter variables: <?php if (have_posts()) : $show_alternate = 1; $which_alternate = 1; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> Then in your .pin-alternate-content output code you could do something … Read more

So if you have 5 different authors across all the posts in your loop, that’s 10 queries (1 for the user object, 1 for the user’s meta cache stash). It’s thanks to WP_Query::setup_postdata() … Read more

How to get the list of posts in a static page other than front page?

The way I retrieve posts on my blog is to use the following: <?php $recentPosts = new WP_Query(); $recentPosts->query(‘showposts=5&cat=CAT_ID_GOES_HERE’); while($recentPosts->have_posts()): $recentPosts->the_post(); ?> Then you would go and create the code to control the display of each post. So for a really simple example: <h1 class=”title”><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/3170/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1> Then at the end of … Read more
