    I am about the create a template page with a full list of all the post headlines of the blog (code follows …).

    Now I want to have after each post the value of a custom field. The name of the custom field is “Region” and a Value for example is “London” …

    So I have to add something in or after
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=alpha'); ?>
    right?

    <?php
/*
Template Name: List
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="content">

	<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class="post">

<?php wp_get_archives('type=alpha'); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>

  • Can’t do that with wp_get_archives. You’d need to do your own query_posts() loop and then display the custom field for each post.

    is query_posts() to generate a custom new list?

    and then i have to get get_posts() ?

    This will list all post titles and the associated custom fields:

    <?php
    $args=array(
      'post_type' => 'post',
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'posts_per_page' => -1,
      'caller_get_posts'=> 1
      );
    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      echo 'List of Posts';
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
      <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
        the_meta();
      endwhile;
    }
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    wow, thanks a lot!
    thanks for the learning …

    Sweet – was looking for something like this for a while. Just a quick question, how do I limit the query from only returning posts that belong to a specific category?

    I tried adding:

    'post_category' => array(68)

    to the args array but it did not filter my results to limit posts only from category ID 68…

    Thanks in advance.

    Please disregard – I ust figured out I should use:

    'cat' => 68,

    instead of:

    'post_category' => array(68)
