I am having some trouble querying relationship fields. Here are the components that I am working with. I have news articles (custom post type = “news-articles”) and then I have investments (custom post type = “as-investments”). Each investment has an image under the field name “investment_logo” and the relationship is pulled on the new articles page under the field name “associations”. I know know how to query relationship fields for a single post but the problem I am running into is that I have a page where I want to query several posts from “news-articles” (which has different types articles, press releases, etc) and get the image from the investment that I choose as the association. I would be forever grateful to someone who can help me. Here is the code as it lies now:
<div id="content-section" class="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php get_sidebar('nav'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php americsecur_entry_before(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php americsecur_entry_top(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'post-meta-page' ); ?>
<div class="post-entry">
<?php the_content(__('Read more ›', 'americsecur')); ?>
</div><!-- end of .post-entry -->
<h3>News Articles</h3>
<?php $args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'news-articles',
'meta_key' => 'release_type',
'meta_value' => 'In the News'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date');
echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>
<h3>Press Releases</h3>
<?php $args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'news-articles',
'meta_key' => 'release_type',
'meta_value' => 'Press Releases'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date');
echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>
<?php americsecur_entry_bottom(); ?>
</div><!-- end of #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
<?php endwhile;
get_template_part( 'loop-nav' );
else :
get_template_part( 'loop-no-posts' );
endif; ?>
</div><!-- end of #content-section -->
Help me please!
Hi @kikimarie1234
Thanks for the question. There’s a lot to take in here, and I wonder if some screenshots of the post_Type edit screens would help understand what is connected where.
What is the issue you are having? Do you not know where to put the code?
I think the solution is quite simple. You need to add the relationship code within you loops. Have you looked over the relationship field documentation code examples?
Yes, I am aware that I need to put the relationship code within my loop but I don’t know what the code should be. Every time I tried adding it, I got a php error. I’m confused because I’m already querying multiple different posts on the page (unlike the documentation which shows an example of querying for a single template file).
Please see the screenshots for what I’m working with. I know this is slightly complicated but I’m sure folks would want to know how to do this as well.
I want to query the image somewhere between this div.
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date');
echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
</div>
Really appreciate your help! Thank you!!
Hi @kikimarie1234
Thanks for the screenshots.
The code you want to use will look something like this:
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date'); echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
<?php
// 1. Get all the relationship values
$associations = get_field('associations');
// 2. Make sure a value exists
if( $associations ): ?>
<?php
// 3. loop through relatinoship values
foreach( $associations as $association): ?>
<?php // 4. Load the image field from the association ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_field('investment_logo', $association->ID); ?>" />
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
Please note this is an example and not the final Markup you will need.
Thanks

Thank you SO much! This is what I ended up with…
<div>
<?php $associations = get_field('associations');
if( $associations ): ?>
<?php foreach( $associations as $association): ?>
<?php
$photo = get_field('investment_logo', $association->ID); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark">
<img src="<?php echo $photo['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $photo['alt']; ?>" />
</a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" >
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date'); echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
</div>
Really appreciate your quick response! Thank you!!
