Thanks YOU!

I thought that the if statement was always true. Due to my lack in knowledge I didn’t realize I could call the field label (if that’s it name) with the function. I’m learning, which is good.

@david I had been using the function to cut down on repeat code with lots custom field types. I started using a plugin to handle custom fields to clean up the back end. Now the only field left is video. I could drop the function completely.

Thanks you very much gentle men!

I found almost prefect awesome solution here

I have the term posts being displayed.

place this in functions.php

function get_posts_related_by_taxonomy($post_id,$taxonomy,$args=array()) {
		  $query = new WP_Query();
		  $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post_id,$taxonomy);
		  if (count($terms)) {
		    // Assumes only one term for per post in this taxonomy
		    $post_ids = get_objects_in_term($terms[0]->term_id,$taxonomy);
		    $post = get_post($post_id);
		    $args = wp_parse_args($args,array(
		      'post_type' => $post->post_type, // The assumes the post types match
		      'post__in' => $post_ids,
		      'post__not_in' => $post->ID,
		      'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
		      'term' => $terms[0]->slug,
		    ));
		    $query = new WP_Query($args);
		  }
		  return $query;
		}

and this in the template

$organiziation = get_posts_related_by_taxonomy($post->ID,'organizations');?>			

<?php while ($organiziation->have_posts()): $organiziation->the_post();

if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue;

I’m learning! just. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to help me.

Any ideas on how to limit which category is displayed?

Tried removing the ‘terms’ from the query array and then replaced the ‘the_permalink’ with ‘get_term_link’. For a moment as I was going through the steps I thought maybe it would work. It ended up removing all the post data.

I feel like I’m close. I wish that I could get a variable from the ‘the_terms’ function and then pass it into the query to replace ‘x’

<?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'organizations', '', '', '' ); ?>

This line the browser return my term ‘x’ but how can I use it with my query? What about this?

$var = the_terms( $post->ID, 'organizations', '', '', '' );

and then place it in the query.

'tax_query' => array( array(
      'taxonomy' => 'organizations',
      'field' => 'slug',
      'terms' =>  '$var' ))
)); ?>

Thanks for your reply,

I’d like to display more than the link for the post. I have the ‘the_title()’ as a place holder for testing to see if the query is working.

I’ll be displaying custom fields, the_excerpt, the_title. I haven’t understood that I could display post data from ‘get_term_link’ is that possible? I’m learning ??
