Second loop showing posts from main query

  • I am trying to show the featured posts in my theme, with a custom field mytheme_featured_post which is 1 on the featured posts.

    However it does not seem to filter the posts down to only the posts in the meta query.

    // WP_Query arguments.
$featured = array(
'posts_per_page' => '5',
'meta_query' => array(
    array(
        'key'     => 'mytheme_featured_post',
        'value'   => '1',
    ),
),
);

// The Query.
$featured_query = new WP_Query( $featured );

if ( $featured_query -> have_posts() ) {
    while ( $featured_query -> have_posts() ) : $featured_query -> the_post();
        the_title();
    endwhile;
}

  • If you want to show the featured posts of your theme, with a custom field mytheme_featured_post
    the below query you can try.

    <?php 

$featured_query = new WP_query( array(
    'meta_key'       =>'mytheme_featured_post', 
    'meta_value'     =>'1', 
    'posts_per_page' => 5
    )
);

while ($featured_query->have_posts()) : $featured_query->the_post(); 
        the_title();
    //Stuff...

endwhile; 
wp_reset_postdata(); 

?>
