Is there a way I can retrieve an array of post ids queried from the following:
$latest = new WP_Query( array (
'orderby' => 'rand',
'posts_per_page' => 3
));
if ( $latest -> have_posts() ) : while ( $latest -> have_posts() ) : $latest -> the_post();
get_template_part( 'templates/content', 'post' );
endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();
Follow Up:
I used wp_list_pluck
to retrieve an array of post ids:
$post_ids = wp_list_pluck( $latest->posts, 'ID' );
Then converted the array into a string using the implode function:
$post_ids_string = implode( ',', $post_ids );
Sorry for the ambiguous question.
Try
$post_ids = wp_list_pluck( $latest->posts, 'ID' );
