Hey. Thanks for your answer. There is definitely more to the story, but I thought it would be a lot to post and possibly irrelevant. I’m not using setup_postdata. Here is the full code for loop-events.php
(I’m using if_single so that I can just load the same loops using get_template_part, but the same problem occurs if I copy the whole loop into the single page)
<div id="event-archive" class="clearfix">
<?php if (is_single()) { $uargs = array( 'post_type' => 'events',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'meta_key' => 'eventdate', // name of custom field
'orderby' => 'eventdate',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'attending', // name of custom field
'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', // matches exaclty "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
); ?>
<?php
} else {
$uargs = array (
'post_type' => 'events',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'eventdate', // name of custom field
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
}
$uloop = new WP_Query( $uargs ); ?>
<?php while ( $uloop->have_posts() ) : $uloop->the_post();
?>
<?php
$date = get_field('eventdate');
// $date = 19881123 (23/11/1988)
// extract Y,M,D
$y = substr($date, 0, 4);
$m = substr($date, 4, 2);
$d = substr($date, 6, 2);
// create UNIX
$time = strtotime("{$d}-{$m}-{$y}");
?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<div id="event-1" class="event">
<div id="event_datestamp"><p class="hdm"><?php echo date('M', $time); ?></p><p class="hdd"><?php echo date('d', $time); ?></p></div>
<?php $eurl = get_field('eventurl'); ?>
<h2 class="event-title"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($eurl->ID); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Read about this event', 'wpzoom' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<span class="att-artists">
<?php
$posts = get_field('attending');
$i = 0;
if( $posts ): ?>
<?php
foreach( $posts as $p ): ?>
<?php
$i++;
?>
<?php
if( $i == 1 )
{
echo '';
}
elseif( $i == count($posts) )
{
echo ', ';
}
elseif( $i > 1 )
{
echo ', ';
}
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $p->ID ); ?>" title="See <?php echo get_the_title( $p->ID ). '’s profile'; ?>"><?php echo get_the_title( $p->ID ); ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?></span></div>
<div id="event-2" class="event"><div class="eventmeta"><span class="event-meta1"><?php the_field('eventloc'); ?></span>
<span class="event-meta2"><?php echo date('d/m/Y', $time) . ' ('; the_field('age'); echo ')'; ?></span>
</div></div>
<div id="event-3" class="event"><div id="gettick"><span class="event-tkt"><a href="<?php the_field('biturl'); ?>" target="_blank">Book Now</a></span></div></div>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
?>
</div>
All my loops work fine individually on the single-artist page, and on their individual archive pages. But this, for some reason, can only work once:
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'attending', // name of custom field
'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', // matches exaclty "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
The fields are correct and I’ve checked so that there are no mistakes with variables etc.
