Hi @Jonathan,
No it isn’t my theme, it’s just the placement of the “related posts” is on the sidebar which is out of the loop due to design issues 🙂
Hmmm, I manually typed in this URL (http://website.dev/?company=240) and it still gives me an error. Let me recap for you again, so perhaps you could point out to me what I’m doing wrong T_T
In my archives.php, here is the code:
<?php // if is a link to Read More from company single related post
if(isset($_GET['company'])){ ?>
<?php
$company_id = $_GET['company'];
// Show all related posts from the company singular page.
$items = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'company_relationship', // name of custom field
'value' => '"' . $company_id . '"', // matches exaclty "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
));
?>
<?php if( $items ): ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // The Loop ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content','excerpt' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php } ?>
In my single-company.php, here is the code:
<?php
/*
* Query posts for a relationship value.
* This method uses the meta_query LIKE to match the string "123" to the database value a:1:{i:0;s:3:"123";} (serialized array)
*/
$posts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'orderby' => 'ID',
'order' => 'DESC',
'posts_per_page'=> 1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'company_relationship', // name of custom field
'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', // matches exactly "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
));
if( $posts ) { ?>
<div class="relatedposts">
<h5>Related Posts</h5>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ): ?>
<?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'excerpt' ); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php
$company_ID = $post->ID; //get the id of the current company
$archive = get_post_type_archive_link('post').'?company='.$company_ID;
echo $archive;
?>
<a href="<?php echo $archive; ?>">View all</a>
</div><!-- div.relatedposts -->
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php } ?>
I thank you in advance.
