When the loop is complete, have_posts() rewinds it back by calling the rewind_posts() method of the $wp_query object, see here. Here’s another (more simple?) setup that you could try: while( have_posts()): the_post(); if ( 0 == $wp_query->current_post ): // post 1 elseif ( 1 == $wp_query->current_post ): // post 2 else: // other posts endif; … Read more
Just for information, this is a bug in WP and autop. You can view the ticket here and it does not look like it will be fixed any time soon. The work around is to start your multiline comment with <!– and end it with <!– –>
I did something like this when making custom reports for WooCommerce since the data was in tables not part of WordPress. My advice to you as well, I can’t tell all that you’re trying to accomplish here but research WP_Query a lot because most any WordPress query can be accomplished with it and ONLY if … Read more
WordPress saves page templates that is assigned to a specific page in the db in the wp_postmeta table. These are saved as follows: ‘meta_key’ => ‘_wp_page_template’, ‘meta_value’ => ‘NAME_ OF_TEMPLATE’ With this in mind, you can loop through pages which shares a specific page template, using get_pages (You can also make use of WP_Query) Example: … Read more
You will have to run a custom query for that. Here is the query for displaying posts from a particular year. I have used year 2012 as an example. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1, ‘year’ => ‘2012’, ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( … Read more
As Milo noted, the final result might look something like the following if ($wp_query->have_posts()) { while ($wp_query->have_posts()) { $wp_query->the_post(); $post_title = get_the_title(); # On the first pass, write the start of your single container if ( 0 == $wp_query->current_post ) { echo ‘<div class=”container”>’; } echo <<<HTML <div class=”different-post-style”> {$the_title} </div> HTML; # On the … Read more
As an example (adjust to suit your needs): add_action(‘loop_start’, function() { if ( is_single() || is_home() ) echo ‘<div>’; }); add_action(‘loop_end’, function() { if ( is_single() || is_home() ) echo ‘</div>’; }); You may need to adjust the conditional statements further if you wish to target archive pages and the like — learn more about … Read more
Couple of issues here; Don’t use get_posts for paginated queries. It legally breaks/ignore pagination as it passes no_found_rows=true to WP_Query. Further more, get_posts only returns the $posts property from the query object, and pagination needs other properties from the query object to calculate pagination. You can paginate get_posts, but it is a really messy affair, … Read more
You could use 3 separate loops, and break out of each loop early once you’ve got enough posts. For example, here is a 2 column grid with a single query: $q = new WP_Query( … ); if ( $q->have_posts() ) { ?> <div class=”columns”> <div> <?php $counter = 0; while( $q->have_posts() ) { $q->the_post(); the_title(); … Read more
Collect all of the loop’s output in a variable, wrap it in the accordion shortcode, then pass that through do_shortcode: $output=””; if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $output .= ‘<div class=”col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12″>’; $output .= do_shortcode(‘[su_spoiler title=”‘.get_the_title().'” open=”no” style=”default” icon=”plus” anchor=”” class=””]’.get_the_content().'[/su_spoiler]’); $output .= ‘</div>’; endwhile; else : $output … Read more
