    Im trying to add custom post types to a page. They are made up of custom templates and custom fields and display fine. I have tried the code below from codex but I dont get anything appearing in the page

    <?php
$args = array(
   'numberposts' => 2,
   'orderby' => 'rand',
   'post_type' => 'movies',
   'genre' => 'actors',
   'post_status' => 'red'
);
$show_albums = get_posts ( $args );

?>

  • How does your loop looks like?

    The code above is all i did on to a page I also tried some code from the wp-codex below – not sure if it’s possible to add a CPT to a page as every tutorial I’ve tried just brings up any stuff that had been inputted in the post editor. All the custom template stuff ie custom field stuff never shows.

    <?php
/**
 * Template Name: Page of Books
 *
 * Selectable from a dropdown menu on the edit page screen.
 */
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
		<div id="container">
			<div id="content">
<?php
$type = 'book';
$args=array(
 'post_type' => $type,
 'post_status' => 'publish',
 'paged' => $paged,
 'posts_per_page' => 2,
 'ignore_sticky_posts'=> 1
);
$temp = $wp_query; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );?>
	</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Try changing this

    $temp = $wp_query; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);

    to this

    query_posts( $args );
