Multiple Loops not showing the_content in 2nd loop
-
Okay, I’m working on a site built using a custom child-theme of thematic. On a specific page, I’m hooking a loop above the content, and a second one below the page content. The first loop shows the most recent post in the taxonomy (perfect-pint) and the second one shows the next 4 most recent. When I did it just displaying the titles (get_the_title) and building a link around it with get_permalink, everything worked perfectly. All five titles showed where they should. When I also added the_content in the first loop, it went fine. However, when I added the same code to the second loop, each title displayed, but the content it displayed was the content from the page it was on, not the content from each post. Just the same main content looped four times under four different titles.
I’m working on my local server, but could upload it to a testing site if that would help. Here is the code from my functions.php as it stands after some tweaking:
// Page Layout for Perfect Pint // Most Recent Episode function perfectPintPageTop() { //The Query $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'show', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'perfect-pint' ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=1', $args ); // The Loop if ( $query->have_posts() ) { while ( $query->have_posts() ) { $query->the_post(); echo '<li><h2><a href="'.get_permalink().'">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h2></li>'; ?><div class="entry"><?php the_content(); ?></div> <?php } } else { // no posts found } /* Restore original Post Data */ wp_reset_postdata(); } add_action('thematic_abovecontent','perfectPintPageTop'); // Next Four Episodes function perfectPintPage4() { ?><div id="episodes"><ul><?php //The Query $args2 = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'show', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'perfect-pint' ) ) ); $query2 = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'offset' => 1 ),$args2 ); // The 2nd Loop while( $query2->have_posts() ) { $query2->next_post(); echo '<li><h2><a href="'.get_permalink( $query2->post->ID ).'">' . get_the_title( $query2->post->ID ) . '</a></h2></li><div class="entry">' . the_content( $query2->post->ID ) . '</div>'; } // Restore original Post Data wp_reset_postdata(); ?></ul></div><?php } add_action('thematic_belowcontent','perfectPintPage4');
