Custom Types / The Loop

  • If someone could point me in the right direction… it would greatly be appreciated.

    I understand how to add custom content types but how do I get them to show up in the loop? I’d almost like a Tumblr like look… if it’s just a link then when you click on the title… it’s just the link. Is there a way to modify the loop for content types?

  • You have to construct your own WP_Query() object, assign it to the global $wp_query variable and then do the loop.

    global $post, $paged, $wp_query;

$args = array(
   'post_type' => $post_type,
   'post_status' => 'publish',
   'paged' => $paged,
   'posts_per_page' => 5, //TODO: options
   'caller_get_posts' => 1
);

$temp_post = $post; // assign original post to temp variable
$temp_query = $wp_query;  // assign orginal query to temp variable
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);

while ( have_posts() ) {
   the_post();

   // Here you can echo any post attributes, for example:
   the_title();
}

// And don't forget to restore everything to its original values
$wp_query = $temp_query;
$post = $temp_post;
