As written, you are checking the total post count against your counter. That is, $wp_query is the total post count for the query not the per page count. Now, assume 30 posts total in the query with 10 posts per page. Your counter starts and will get all the way to 10, but $ctr < … Read more
You will do this in your theme and HOW you do it will depend on how your theme is set up. But to give a quick example, I’ll show you how to do it with any template with a loop. <?php if ( have_posts() ) { while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); echo (‘<p>This post … Read more
You can retrieve the setting for posts per page set under Settings > Reading via get_option: $posts_per_page = get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ );
Removing the first “wp_reset_postdata ();” solved the problem.
<?php $recent = new WP_Query( array( ‘tag’ => get_option(‘gd_slider_tags’), ‘posts_per_page’ => get_option(‘gd_slider_num’), ‘offset’ => 1) ); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>

For example the_terms(): while (have_posts()) : the_post(); the_terms( get_the_ID(), ‘event_cat’ ); endwhile; There are quite a few functions dealing with terms, depending on what you want … Read more
So you can fetch the id using a get_option call, then access the data from there. $page_for_posts = get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ); $page_data = get_page( $page_for_posts ) ; Then you can access the properties like this: <?= get_the_post_thumbnail($page_data->ID) ?> <h1><?= $page_data->post_title ?></h1> <?= $page_data->post_content ?>
$posts is a global var used by WordPress, change that to something unique and it’ll work as expected. Also fyi, rewind_posts(); isn’t necessary here, you haven’t run the loop yet, so there’s nothing to rewind.
