This may be a basic question but i cant seem to find a correct solution.
In advanced custom fields I have set up a Field Group CD, in CD there are three fields, title, info, author and the group shows if the category = CD
Therefore when i make a new post with category CD I fill these three fields. There are 10 Posts in the CD categories.
Now the issue I am having is displaying all the posts on a page.
Here is the code I tried
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'cat' => '6', 'CD' => ( get_query_var('CD') ? get_query_var('CD') : 1 ), ));
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
get_post_meta();
} // end while
} // end if
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
This returned an error Warning: Missing argument 1 for get_post_meta(), called in /Volumes/shared/Digital/_Websites/londonconchord/wp-content/themes/conchord/t-disc.php on line 25 and defined in /Volumes/shared/Digital/_Websites/londonconchord/wp-includes/post.php on line 1792
I tried a different attempt
<p><?php query_posts( 'cat=6' );
the_field('title');
the_field('info');
the_field('author'); ?></p>
I had more luck here as I was printing some information, however only the 1st post in the category and it kept repeating, i wanted all 10 posts and no repeat.
I think im close just looking for those final pointers
Thanks
My solution (Finally,) Hope this can help others
<?php
$args = array('cat' => 6);
$category_posts = new WP_Query($args);
if($category_posts->have_posts()) :
while($category_posts->have_posts()) :
$category_posts->the_post();
?>
<div class="article">
<div class="articleinfo">
<h3><?php the_field('title'); ?></h3>
<?php the_field('author'); ?>
<?php the_field('label'); ?>
</div>
<img src="<?php the_field('cd_image'); ?>" height="200" width="200" alt="cd-image" />
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
else:
?>
Oops, there are no posts.
<?php
endif;
?>
Loops through all posts and pulls the ACF i needed
Seems get_post_meta()
has variables and your are missing it.
Like get_post_meta($var)
expected but your are just calling get_post_meta()
. Hope it helps.
You're not querying properly I don't think.
You need to grab the field
get_field('YOUR FIELD NAME') );
Then loop through and grab what you need as a subfield.
the_sub_field('YOUR SUB FIELD');
Example
<?php if(get_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')): while(has_sub_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')): ?>
<img class="logo" src="<?php the_sub_field('logo'); ?>" />
<h1><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></h1>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
For an example. Hope this helps... let me know.
I couldn't get ether of the solutions above to work, thank you though guys for your input,
here is my solution so far
<h3><?php the_field('title', 475); ?></h3>
<?php the_field('info', 475); ?>
<?php the_field('author', 475); ?>
</div>
<img src="<?php the_field('cd_image', 475); ?>" height="200" width="200" alt="" />
Then I just repeated this and changed the id from 475 to others, now ive pulled in all the posts however the downfall is that any new posts i have to add in this code again.
Can i use a wp query to pull these 4 fields in a variable and then print that variable, then loop through the category until all posts are printed?
