Hello,
So I have some issues getting this thing to work. My scenario:
I have a post called “Project 1” which is a CPT where I have a post object link which I set to get another CPT post called “Content 1”. Content 1 has a title and a repeater field. “Project 1” has a lot of different fields which works fine but I would like to include the repeater field from “Content 1” on the “Project 1” page. I will also build a filter segment based from the fields in the repeater field from “Project 1”.
I thought I could use the post object example and return the content from “Content 1” but it’s not working. This is my code:
<?php $featured_posts = get_sub_field('apartmentlink');
if( $featured_posts ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $featured_posts as $post ):
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<li>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php if( have_rows('apartment') ): ?>
<?php while( have_rows('apartment') ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('number'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Problem is that it does only return the title of “Project 1” 24 times and nothing else. What am I doing wrong? I can’t understand why 24 times either.
I don’t see any reason, given the code above, why it should not be working.
However, the fact that it is outputting the title 24 times leads me to think you have a problem outside of this code.
Is this code inside a have_posts() loop? If yes, how is the query for that loop done? Is it the main WP query or is it a new custom query?
Alright, well I’m running roots / sage which shouldn’t make much difference.
I have a template for the “Project” posts which looks like this:
{{--
Template Name: Projekt
--}}
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
@while(have_posts()) @php the_post() @endphp
@include('partials.content-projekt')
@endwhile
@endsection
And then I have content-single-projekt page which takes care of the flexible content and it looks like this:
@include('partials/section-hero')
@include('partials/section-intro')
<?php if( have_rows('content') ): ?>
<?php while( have_rows('content') ): the_row(); ?>
<?php if( get_row_layout() == 'projectfacts' ): ?>
<h1>stuff here</h1>
<?php elseif( get_row_layout() == 'apartmentlayout' ): ?>
@include('partials/section-apartment')
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
And lastly my section-apartment looks like the example up top.
Your issue is that you are using include() to include template parts instead of get_template_part(). When you use include() none of the needed global variables are defined when the included file is run.
Alright, I did some more tampering and removed the include() and put the same code there like this:
<?php elseif( get_row_layout() == 'apartmentlayout' ): ?>
<?php $featured_posts = get_sub_field('apartmentlink');
if( $featured_posts ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $featured_posts as $post ):
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<li>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php if( have_rows('apartment') ): ?>
<?php while( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php the_sub_field('number'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I still get the same issue with 24 titles after eachother with the title from the current post I’m at.
So I tried this:
<?php elseif( get_row_layout() == 'apartmentlayout' ): ?>
<?php echo '<pre>';
print_r( get_sub_field('apartmentlink') );
echo '</pre>';
die; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
And that on the other hand returns the correct post like this:
WP_Post Object
(
[ID] => 73284
[post_author] => 11
[post_date] => 2022-09-19 08:39:19
[post_date_gmt] => 2022-09-19 06:39:19
[post_content] =>
[post_title] => Content 1
[post_excerpt] =>
[post_status] => publish
[comment_status] => closed
[ping_status] => closed
[post_password] =>
[post_name] => content-1
[to_ping] =>
[pinged] =>
[post_modified] => 2022-09-19 08:54:00
[post_modified_gmt] => 2022-09-19 06:54:00
[post_content_filtered] =>
[post_parent] => 0
[guid] => //localhost:3000/?post_type=apartments&p=73284
[menu_order] => 0
[post_type] => apartments
[post_mime_type] =>
[comment_count] => 0
[filter] => raw
)
So it doesn’t seem to work even without include
Your problem starts all the way back in your main template
@include('partials.content-projekt')
the file loaded here will not have global variables it needs, like $post (the current post) or $wp_query (the main query) along with a host of others.
Thank you! I get it now and managed to solve it thanks to you 🙂
