Showing posts on pages depending on category/page name

If this is the second query/loop on the page, you should be using WP_Query – not query_posts.

Hey esmi,

Thanks for the quick response.
Could you post here how it’s done, because I honestly have no clue…
And would that solve my problem?

First replace query_posts() with WP_Query() and re-post the new code.

So that would be the new code

<?php WP_Query('category_name=straminke-eins'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_ID(); ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('jr_post_image') ) { jr_post_image($id); } ?>
<?php the_date('F Y'); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink()?>"><?php the_title()?></a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

But it creates an error…

What error?

it says that:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function WP_Query() in /homepages/16/d163559452/htdocs/5435oe/wp-content/themes/kiekoever/page.php on line 26

Did you review https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/WP_Query

Yes, but I don’t really understand it and I would need to engage my self with all this to really dig it. And I didn’t have the time to do so yet.
So I figured to ask here.

Try looking at some of the code examples on that page. <?php WP_Query('category_name=straminke-eins'); ?> is wrong.

ok. I’ll try that…
Thanks for your help!

I think i got it working now with this code:

<?php
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=binnen'  );

// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
	$the_query->the_post();
	echo '<li>' . get_the_content() . '</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.
*/
wp_reset_postdata();

?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

But I still dont know what to fill in after ‘category_name=’ to get it variable and responding to the page title.
I know I could creat a own templat for each page. But I’d prefer a automated solution…

Is this secondary Loop inside the main loop or outside?

I’d say its the secondary loop outside the main loop. But thats just a guess:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<link href="style.php" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    <div id="blog" class="shadow">
        <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

        <div class="post">

            <div class="entry">
            <?php the_content(); ?>
            </div>

        </div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

    <div class="navigation">
        <?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
    </div>

<?php endif; ?>
</div>

<div id="post">

 </div>
<?php
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=binnen'  );

// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
	$the_query->the_post();
	echo '<li>' . get_the_content() . '</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.
*/
wp_reset_postdata();

?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thats the whole page.php

I did it!
So here is the code that worked for me:

<?php
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name='. get_the_title( $query2->post->ID ) . '&echo=0'  );

// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
	$the_query->the_post();
	echo '<li>' . get_the_content() . '</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.
*/
wp_reset_postdata();

?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
