Hmmmm…still did not work. HOWEVER, I decided to just re-do that whole section (the tab content area) from scratch and in doing so was able to get it to work using a different method of grabbing the posts. Instead of ‘while’, I did ‘foreach’. I’m still not sure why the other way wasn’t working. I feel like it *should* have. But here’s what I got working (I can’t take *all* the credit…my programming-genius friend did help me here, but he’s just not always available).
<!-- Nav Tabs -->
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<?php if (have_rows('home_categories')) {
$i = 0;
while (have_rows('home_categories')) {
the_row();
$term = get_sub_field('categories'); ?>
<li class="<?php if ($i == 0) { echo ' active'; }?>">
<a href="#tab-pane-<?php echo $i; ?>" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo $term->name; ?></a>
</li>
<?php $i++;
}
} ?>
</ul>
<!-- Tab Content -->
<div class="tab-content clearfix">
<?php
$home_categories = get_field("home_categories");
// print_r($home_categories);
foreach($home_categories as $key => $home_cat) {
$term_id = $home_cat['categories']->term_id;
$term_name = $home_cat['categories']->name;
?>
<div class="tab-pane fade<?php if ($key == 0) { echo ' in active'; }?>" id="tab-pane-<?php echo $key; ?>">
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => $term->taxonomy,
'terms' => array($term_id)
)
),
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'ASC',
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
foreach($query->posts as $post) {
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumbnail', array('class' => 'img-responsive img-thumbnail')); ?></a>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><h3><?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?></h3></a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
<?php
} ?>
</div>
