For more info on custom fields look at; https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/wordpress-custom-fields-101-tips-tricks-and-hacks/

Is ‘Dato’ the right custom field name? it’s case sensitive!

You have to add also a array for filter the right category:

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'cat'      => 22,
'meta_key' => 'Dato',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC') );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?>

Also have a look at:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ordering-by-meta-key-value?replies=3

Try something like this

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'meta_key' => 'Dato',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC') );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?>

For the order of the post basen on a custom field use
meta_key=CustomFieldName&orderby=meta_value In your query.

@jamil Can you explain how you did it? I tried the solution from the link but it is still not working.

I have create a code that allow 2 loops and not duplicate the posts, but it is still not working for the next page ($paged). Here the code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

	<?php /* Left Column
-------------------------------------------------------------------*/?>
	<div id="left-column">

	<?php if (have_posts()) :
	$count = 0;
	$saved_ids = array();
	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<?php $count++; ?>
	<?php $saved_ids[] = get_the_ID(); ?>

	<?php if ($count <= 5) : {
 	$saved_ids[] = get_the_ID();?>

	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

	<?php } endif; // End if ?>
	<?php endwhile; 

	else: ?>
	<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
	<?php endif; ?> 

 	<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

	</div>

<?php /* Right Column
-------------------------------------------------------------------*/?>
	<div id="right-column">

	<?php if (have_posts()) :
	query_posts(array(
	'post__not_in' => $saved_ids,
	));

	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

	<?php endwhile; 

	else: ?>
	<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
	<?php endif; ?> 

	</div> 

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Does anyone have a idea how to fixed the paged problem in this code?

Resolved after a day looking to my codes..! It’s not in the code. The theme map name existed of two separate words with a inter space. Deleting the inter space like ‘theme name’ to ‘themename’ resolved the problem.

@luxonski Works like a charm. Thanks. You saved my day…

Anyone?

Thanks michaelH for your response. This is working perfect. Thanks…

I created a different output for members and for the regular posts results:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> 

	<?php  if ($post->post_type == 'members') {
	//Add a custom value
	$place=get_post_custom_values('Name');echo $place[0];
	}?>

	<?php  if ($post->post_type == 'post')  {?>
	<div id="titel_post"><h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3><small>		 	<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry &raquo;', '', '  '); ?> </small>
	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>
	<?php }?>

Thanks for Reply. But it’s not that I want to change the look in .ccs but like to apply the loop two times.

One for all the search results of custom ‘member’ post and one for all the search results of regular post.

Normally on other pages I can query the loop with the above query code, but for search results this is not working. The query shows all the posts from custom ‘member’ post and not the search result.

Try max-height: 1250px; in your css. You can also set the min-height: 700px;

I have the tinyMCE editor working on the author “discription” field. But I added some costumfields with the register plus plugin. I copied the code:

if ( (strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 'wp-admin/user-edit.php')) || (strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 'wp-admin/profile.php'))) {
	add_action('admin_head', 'add_tinymce');
}

remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
add_filter('pre_user_description', 'wpautop');

function add_tinymce() {

if (function_exists('wp_tiny_mce')) {	

		add_filter( 'teeny_mce_before_init', create_function( '$a', '$a["width"] = "440"; $a["height"] = "400"; $a["onpageload"] = ""; $a["mode"] = "exact"; $a["elements"] = "description"; $a["editor_selector"] = "mceEditor"; return $a;' ) );
		wp_tiny_mce( true );

	}
}

Then renamed the “discription” element to my customfield name. That works fine. But I added more fields. I can’t get it working.

How can I add the tinyMCE editor to multiple customfields?
