Hi Tom
I’m having trouble with displaying a ‘show posts’ function in a template file… the problem is that the returned result doesn’t stay within the selected CPT – although it does keep the desired category.
Weirdly I can insert the provided short code into any random page/post edit screen and it will return the desired display of CPT and category, however, when using the function (and dropping into a template file) it only seems to stick with the selected category and gives up trying to keep within the CPT (mixes with all the CPT I have).
Any idea what the issue might be?
Many thanks
Mike
Hey Tom
Still trying to resolve at my end, thinking it’s something to do with the way that I’m adding the code to my category-slug template. Using any random hook area to test the snippet (by the way am using generate press) I do return an accurate result/display.
Grateful for any help you could give me… essentially I’m trying to add the generated WPSP function in favour of using the returned category result and am doing so to separate out the category into its constituent CPT parts (in this case news, events, resources). So it’s really three different <?php if ( function_exists( ‘wpsp_display’ ) ) wpsp_display( *** ); ?> to be added consecutively.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
So when you add the function to the template, posts from every custom post type are displaying even though you have it set to one specific post type?
Hi Tom
No worries, think I missed your reply over the weekend, too.
Yes, sorry for not being clearer, posts from every CPT are displaying even though it’s set to one type.
Thanks for any help and ideas,
Mike
Hi Tom,
Thanks, yes. It’s currently on a test site http://k8t.2be.myftpupload.com/asylum/ – you’ll see that there’s just a replication of each ‘show post’.
On the home page I’ve just put the short codes in – good result this time.
Thanks again for looking into this,
Mike
In addition, I’ve added the two different php lines to the after content hook on the page http://k8t.2be.myftpupload.com/about/ and both ‘show posts’ produce the correct result – indicates it’s specifically a category/category template problem?
Mike
What happens if you reset the query before each WPSP function?: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_query
Hi Tom
Unfortunately I couldn’t get that to work either…
Also, have noticed that it’s not that there are two wpsp functions, as even with just one, the display isn’t accurate (changed http://k8t.2be.myftpupload.com/asylum/ to show this – apologies that the content doesn’t clearly indicate, but the urls of each item should). I’m stumped (with my limited knowledge).
So probably a category-slug issue given I can get it to work in archive.php, archive-slug.php and page.php?
A potential fudge is to create a page to redirect to, but wanted to try and do things in a more ordered way.
Thanks for your continued support, is much appreciated.
Mike
Hmm, tough one.
Another idea is to do this instead, right above your WPSP function: https://codex.wordpress.org/wp_reset_postdata
Still no luck Tom, I think I might try to fudge it in the way I mentioned above unless you’ve got any other ideas?
Thanks for your help again and time spent thinking on this.
Cheers
Mike
A redirect would work, but isn’t ideal. I’ll play with this and will let you know if I come up with something 🙂
