Creating a directory with Categories and Titles under that category

  • I created a custom post type and added categories to the custom post. My goal is to create a custom post ‘Resource’ and then categories and multiple titles.

    Appraisal Company:
    ??Title one
    ??Title two
    ??Title Three

    but what I get is :

    Appraisal Company
    ??Title 1

    Appraisal Company
    ? Title 2

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    <!-- beginning of the directory -->
			<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => array('Resources'), 'posts_per_page' => 8, 'order' => ASC,) ); ?>
			<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

						<div id="resource">
						<div <?php post_class( '', $tag_id ); ?>>
						<h3 class='<?php the_ID(); ?>'>
							<?php
							$category = get_the_category();
							echo $category[0]->cat_name;
							?>
						</h3>
						<p>	<?php
							 foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
							 echo $category->category_description . ' ';
							 }
							 ?>
						</p>
						<ul>
						<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
						</ul>
						</div>
						</div>

			<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
		<!-- #end of the directory -->

  • You need to save the current category name and print only when it changes. Try this (untested):

    <!-- beginning of the directory -->
			<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => array('Resources'), 'posts_per_page' => 8, 'order' => ASC,) ); ?>
			<?php $current_cat = ''; ?>
			<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

						<div id="resource">
						<div <?php post_class( '', $tag_id ); ?>>
							<?php $category = get_the_category();
							if( $current_cat != $category[0]->cat_name ) :
								$current_cat = $category[0]->cat_name; ?>
								<h3 class='<?php the_ID(); ?>'>
									<?php echo $category[0]->cat_name; ?>
								</h3>
							<?php endif; ?>
						<p>	<?php
							 foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
							 echo $category->category_description . ' ';
							 }
							 ?>
						</p>
						<ul>
						<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
						</ul>
						</div>
						</div>

			<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
		<!-- #end of the directory -->
