Hi guys, I’ve been wondering if there is an efficient way to hide sections if all of the posts listed in the relationship field are being set as drafts.
Is there a way to check if posts are being published? I’m trying to hide the section below altogether if there are no published posts.
<?php if( get_field('alternative_method') ): ?>
<section id="alt-method">
<div class="text full">
<h2>Alternative methods</h2>
</div>
<div class="recipes-list item-listing">
<?php
$alt_posts = get_field('alternative_method');
if( $alt_posts ): ?>
<?php foreach( $alt_posts as $post ):
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php if ( get_post_status() == 'publish' ) :?>
<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content-recipe-card', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endif;?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</section>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
// add to function.php
function acf_field_only_published_posts($query) {
$query->set('post_status', 'publish');
}
?>
if (get_field('alternative_method')) {
// add filter to only get published posts
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'acf_field_only_published_posts');
// get field
$alt_posts = get_field('alternative_method');
// remove the filter so it does not affect other queries
remove_filter('pre_get_posts', 'acf_field_only_published_posts');
if (!empty($alt_posts)) {
// the rest of code to output section here
} // end if !empty($alt_posts)
} // end if get_field('alternative_method')
Hi John, thank you for your advice.
For some reason filter is not working when it’s added to the page. Definitely works when add_action is being added to the functions.php, but it’s preventing me from seeing any drafts on the site.
<?php
if (get_field('alternative_method')):
// add filter to only get published posts
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'acf_field_only_published_posts', 10, 1);
// get field
$alt_posts = get_field('alternative_method');
// remove the filter so it does not affect other queries
remove_filter('pre_get_posts', 'acf_field_only_published_posts');
if (!empty($alt_posts)): ?>
<section id="alt-method">
<div class="text full">
<h2>Alternative methods</h2>
</div>
<div class="recipes-list item-listing">
<?php foreach( $alt_posts as $post ):
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php if ( get_post_status() == 'publish' ) :?>
<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content-recipe-card', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endif;?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
</section>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
