I need help with a WordPress query to get posts.
I have an ACF-numeric-Field called “year”.
I need a query to get posts who have entered a year, and the year is echoed as title.
Someting like
1925
– Post A
– Post B
– Post D
1926
– Post C
– Post E
This is what I have so far to get posts with a “year” set and ordered by.
<?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'artikel',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'year',
'compare' => 'EXISTS'
),
array(
'key' => 'year',
'value' => 1900,
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
'compare' => '>'
)
)
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
Can someone help me how to put the year as the title?
Your query should look more like this
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'artikel',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
'date_clause' => array(
'key' => 'year',
'value' => 1900,
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
'compare' => '>'
)
),
'orderby' => array('date_clause' => 'ASC')
);
You do not need the “EXISTS” meta query since you only want posts that have a value greater than something.
I have also added a “date_clause” for a index so that they can be ordered by this field and added the orderby.
$query = new WP_query($arg);
if ($query->have_posts()) {
$last_post_year = 0; // year of last post shown initialized to zero
while ($query->have_posts()) {
the_post();
$this_post_year = get_field('year');
if ($this_post_year != $last_post_year) {
// this post is in a different year than the last one
echo $year;
}
$last_post_year = $this_post_year; // update last to this
// anything else you want to this post
}
}
Thank you very much for your help!
