WordPress Custom Type loop
Posted by Helmut Granda | Filed under WordPress
With the upcoming version of WordPress 3 (available in beta as of today) here is a tip of how to pull the custom types in the loop once you have created them.
- <h3>Recent News</h3>
<ul>
< ?php
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
$recentPosts->query($query_string . '&post_type=news');
?>
< ?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">< ?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
< ?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
In the example above I have created a "News" custom type and now I am adding them to the page with a custom loop.
