I’m building a custom page template that has a page using a featured image in the sidebar – and it works great!
In the content area I would like to use a custom loop that pulls in one post from one category. I’ve got code for this but once inserted it wipes out my sidebar code.
I believe this is because they need to be apart of the same loop but my PHP knowledge is limited.
I am including my code. If anyone knows what’s going on or can point me in the right direction to learn my way through it help would be so appreciated!

How can i list specific members? or should I split (explode) the query string in an array and read the whole thing with PHP loop?
Maybe someone could help me or give a similar approach.
Thanks in advance

]]>Got me a clients wants to manually choose for each page, which OTHER pages’ excerpts to display.
I know how to manually make the code for excerpts one by one …
(see the ‘bottom_article_1’ thingie below, it calls information from custom field)
… question is how do i dynamically create these in a loop according to what client fills in custom field. So if client fills one page id in custom field, only that excerpt show.
If client fills three pages id’s, three excerpts show.
Ideas?
global $post;
global $wp_query;
$active_page = $wp_query->post->ID;
$post_id = get_post_meta($active_page, 'bottom_article_1', true);
$queried_post = get_post($post_id);
$title = $queried_post->post_title;
$author = $queried_post->post_author;
$user_info = get_userdata($author);
$first_name = $user_info->first_name;
$last_name = $user_info->last_name;My client has over 11 “pages” listed. I would like to have it automatically split into 2-3 columns. I basically want to list 4 links in one column, 4 links in another and 3 links in the last column. I found this area of code in the post-template.php file (see below) is this where a loop will go?
function wp_list_pages($args = ”) {
742 $defaults = array(
743 ‘depth’ => 0, ‘show_date’ => ”,
744 ‘date_format’ => get_option(‘date_format’),
745 ‘child_of’ => 0, ‘exclude’ => ”,
746 ‘title_li’ => __(‘Pages’), ‘echo’ => 1,
747 ‘authors’ => ”, ‘sort_column’ => ‘menu_order, post_title’,
748 ‘link_before’ => ”, ‘link_after’ => ”
749 );
750
751 $r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
752 extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );
753
754 $output = ”;
755 $current_page = 0;
756
757 // sanitize, mostly to keep spaces out
758 $r[‘exclude’] = preg_replace(‘/[^0-9,]/’, ”, $r[‘exclude’]);
759
760 // Allow plugins to filter an array of excluded pages
761 $r[‘exclude’] = implode(‘,’, apply_filters(‘wp_list_pages_excludes’, explode(‘,’, $r[‘exclude’])));
762
763 // Query pages.
764 $r[‘hierarchical’] = 0;
765 $pages = get_pages($r);
766
767 if ( !empty($pages) ) {
768 if ( $r[‘title_li’] )
769 $output .= ‘<li class=”pagenav”>’ . $r[‘title_li’] . ‘
‘;
770
771 global $wp_query;
772 if ( is_page() || is_attachment() || $wp_query->is_posts_page )
773 $current_page = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
774 $output .= walk_page_tree($pages, $r[‘depth’], $current_page, $r);
775
776 if ( $r[‘title_li’] )
777 $output .= ‘

778 }

====================
this is the php loop I found but I don’t know how to modify it and incorporate it into wordpress. any help would be great. here is the php loop code.
<?php
/*** the number of columns wide ***/
$num_cols = 3;
/*** and array to traverse ***/
$animals = array(
‘platypus’,
‘wallaby’,
‘dingo’,
‘wombat’,
‘kangaroo’,
‘steve irwin’,
’emu’,
‘kookaburra’,
‘crocodile’);
?>
<table>
<tr
style=”background:orange;”><td>Only</td><td>This</td><td>Wide</td></tr>
<?php
/*** set a counter ***/
$i = 0;
/*** loop over the array ***/
foreach ( $animals as $item )
{
/*** use modulo to check if the row should end ***/
echo $i++%$num_cols==0 ? ‘</tr><tr>’ : ”;
/*** output the array item ***/
echo ‘<td>’.$item.'</td>’;
}
?>
</tr>
</table>
I am having a problem bringing a Theme into the 21st century. Here is the loop code, what needs to be updated there to get it to work with 2.8? There is plenty of other stuff broken with the site that I a working on fixing (I didn’t create it), but this is one of the problems. Thanks!
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('cat=27&showposts=3');
if ($my_query->have_posts()) {
$n=1;
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="block_post_wrapper">
<div id="latest_news_<?php print $n; ?>" class="block_post">
<?php
$content = content('Read More...');
$contenti = extract_image( $content, 'homepage', 204, 205, true );
print '<img src="'.$contenti['resize'].'" class="align" />';
?>
<small class="meta"><?php the_date('F j, Y'); ?></small>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php

the_excerpt();
} else {
