Never mind.

I added a conditional statement to change the $args based on the page id.

OK.

I’ve now resolved this using the

do_shortcode() function inside my script.

Deep joy ??

Thank you. I will investigate this a bit more shortly.

Hi,

I have the code: <p>test1</p><p>test2</p><p>test3</p><p>test4</p> in my WordPress page.

I’d like to output this in the Loop to just show:
<p>test1</p><p>test2</p>

Currently the text is:
<p>test1</p><p>test2</p><p>test3</p><p>test4</p>

I’d like to crop the outputted text to simply:
<p>test1</p><p>test2</p>

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Brilliant.

Thank you.

I also got this PHP solution:

if( have_posts() ) :
$i=0;
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
$i++;
?>
<li <?php if(($i % 3)==0)echo 'style="background:red"';?>>Test</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif;

Anyone?

You’re right, it would ??

$args = array(
  'category__in'     => '3',
  'caller_get_posts' => 1
);

if ( $paged > 1 ) {
  $args['paged'] = $paged;
}

$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

I’m guessing I would just the Orderby info to my current $args array?

How silly of me to miss this.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately this also doesn’t work.

It just leaves a blank space where I hoped the looped list items would appear.

Current code:

<?php while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) :
      $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <?php
        //necessary to show the tags
        global $wp_query;
        $wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
        $my_query = new WP_Query($wp_query . '&orderby=title');
        $slug = basename(get_permalink());
        ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="<?php echo $slug; ?>"><span><?php the_title(); ?></span></a></li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>

Hi vtxyzzy, thanks for the reply.

Yes, that should be fine. Have done this before.
I was just trying to think if there was an easier way of doing it ??

Like just doing a
<!--{blog posts}-->

Thanks again

OK. Found it:

<?php
query_posts($query_string . '&meta_key=orders&orderby=meta_value');
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

Good call. It’s a frustrating experience when the OP just adds ‘It’s ok, I got it working’….and then nothing ??

Thanks for your assistance. Will let you know how it goes.

Awesome Mark!!! I will take a look into this. Many thanks.

Thanks for this.

I’m actually hoping to use the URL field for different data.

It would store the ‘Location’ of the user.
Does it make sense to do this, or is it easier to add another field to the Comments box? Is this even possible?

Thanks again
