Custom post types with other meta boxes

    Awesome plugin,

    Important question for those users trying to integrate this plugin with an existing site (pardon me if it’s been answered… couldn’t find in the support documentation)

    If you already have custom meta boxes loading for other purposes, we’ve noticed that any use of wp_query in other meta boxes causes the meta details not to load correctly in the “Pronamic Google Maps” meta box.

    To provide a quick example, let’s say you want to load another meta box beside the “Pronamic Google Maps” meta box that contains a drop down menu of posts (as in choose a related post)

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Multiple_Loops

    Placing the below code in a second meta box causes the “Pronamic Google Maps” meta box to not load any meta details into the fields, even though there is the correct meta info saved. “Pronamic Google Maps” meta box works correctly when removing the new WP_Query( $args ); function.

    
$query1 = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $query1->have_posts() ) {
	// The Loop
	while ( $query1->have_posts() ) {
		$query1->the_post();
		echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
	}
	
	/* Restore original Post Data 
	 * NB: Because we are using new WP_Query we aren't stomping on the 
	 * original $wp_query and it does not need to be reset with 
	 * wp_reset_query(). We just need to set the post data back up with
	 * wp_reset_postdata().
	 */
	wp_reset_postdata();
}

    Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    S.

    This isn’t an issue with the Pronamic Google Maps only, but with WordPress in general. Please see the note in the WP_Query reference:

    Note: Ticket #18408 For querying posts in the admin, consider using get_posts() as wp_reset_postdata() might not behave as expected.

    Use get_posts() to solve the issue:

    $query1 = get_posts( $args );

if ( count( $query1 ) > 0 ) {
	// The Loop
	foreach ( $query1 as $post ) {
		echo '<li>' . $post->post_title . '</li>';
	}
}
