In my WordPress site, I made a custom page template, which contained a custom query [using WP_Query()
]. With that query, I can perfectly get the posts of a certain category. But I want to show the page contents along with the queried posts.
Thing will be like:
—————————
Page Heading
page contents
Queried Post Heading
queried post contents
—————————
I’m using two loops. First loop is to show the page content, and the second loop is to show the queried post contents. I commented into the codes where necessary. I emphasized into the loops, as Deckster0 said in WordPress support that, the_content()
works only inside a WordPress Loop. I’m placing these code into a my own template:
<?php
/*
* Template Name: My Template
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="container">
<div id="content" class="pageContent">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <!-- Page Title -->
<?php
// TO SHOW THE PAGE CONTENTS
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <!--Because the_content() works only inside a WP Loop -->
<div class="entry-content-page">
<?php the_content(); ?> <!-- Page Content -->
</div><!-- .entry-content-page -->
<?php
endwhile; //resetting the page loop
wp_reset_query(); //resetting the page query
?>
<?php
// TO SHOW THE POST CONTENTS
?>
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query( 'cat=1' ); // I used a category id 1 as an example
?>
<?php if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <!-- Queried Post Title -->
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> <!-- Queried Post Excerpts -->
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endwhile; //resetting the post loop ?>
</div><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
<?php
wp_reset_postdata(); //resetting the post query
endif;
?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->
