Hi David, thanks again for your reply. I am using a plugin called Types which allows you to make custom post types without coding (take it a look it’s very good.) I have image upload fields for two images for each project and it’s very slick and easy to do – There will be over 80 users that will need to do this very quickly before our show start (14th) so it’s best I keep it simple to people that might not be familiar with WordPress!

Hi David, thanks for your reply. That bit actually works ?? the author_info var is set earlier on so is all good. The problem I am having is fetching the custom posts.

Didn’t mean to mark this as revolved – still appreciate some help with the custom query!

UPDATE:

After finding this: https://www.mattvarone.com/wordpress/list-users-with-wp_user_query/ I am getting somewhere. Have the first part working correctly, but still problems getting the custom posts.

WordPress 3.3.2 BTW

I think these so called hackers just look for files on web servers that are publicly writeable. I just fixed a site with the same problem – I had left a template file with permissions 755 and they’d written to it. Reuploaded the file from a back up I had and changed them to 644, all sorted now.

Thanks for the reply Rob. But surely, that messes up your navigation?

Stupidly I discovered my problem was that the panels weren’t checked to display under ‘screen options’… doh!

I am having this problem too, did you ever figure it out?

This isn’t resolved, I am in the same situation and cannot set my post limit to 1 in the admin as I have a blog which I want around 10 posts on, even though i only want 3 on my custom post type.

Was there ever a solution to this?

I figured it out after hours of googling:

// Custom loop for displaying all posts from the project custom post type.
				$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>  

				<?php
				$loop = new WP_Query( array(
				'post_type' => 'project',
				'posts_per_page' => 9,
				'taxonomy' => 'work',
				'term' => $term->name,

				) );

Had to change something but `all works now. This code outputs rows of 3 posts and assigns a class of ‘first to every first post in the row, and also gives each row its own class.

Not the most elegant code, but it works.

// Custom loop for displaying all posts from the project custom post type.

				$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'project', 'posts_per_page' => 9 ) );
				$postcount = 1;
				$row = 1;

				while ( $loop->have_posts() ) :  $loop->the_post();
				echo '<div class="project row-' . $row;
				if ( $postcount == 1 ) { echo ' first'; }
				echo '">';
				if ( $postcount == 3 ) { $row++; $postcount = 0; }
				$postcount++;
				?>

I realised I was missing a semicolon from echo ‘”>’.

Have now tried it and I THINK IT MIGHT WORK (need to add more than 3 dummy posts to check)

Ok I’m trying it differently, but I am also trying to add row numbers too so that I might have more control over certain rows, but I am getting a syntax error with this.

Please bear with me, I am new to PHP and so am just chopping up bits of code and experimenting ??

// Custom loop for displaying all posts from the project custom post type.

				$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'project', 'posts_per_page' => 9 ) );
				$postcount = 1;
				$row = 1;

				while ( $loop->have_posts() ) :  $loop->the_post();
				echo '<div class="project row-' . $row;
				if ( $postcount == 1 ) { echo ' first'; }
				echo '">'
				if ( $postcount == 3 ) { $row++; $postcount = 1; }
				$postcount++;
				?>

OOPS. Please ignore above code, this is the code I wanted to share:

<?php 

            	// create the navigation above the content
            	thematic_navigation_above();

				// Custom loop for displaying all projects from a category.

				$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'project', 'posts_per_page' => 9 ) );
				$postcount = 1;

				while ( $loop->have_posts() ) :  $loop->the_post();
				echo '<div class="project';
				if (
				!(($postcount) % 3)
				) echo ' first';
				echo '">';
				$postcount++;
				?>

				<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
				<?php the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>' ); ?>

					<div class="entry-content">	

						<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
					</div>
					</div>
				<?php endwhile;
