Custom Post type loop in template and do_action

    Hi I have a a custom post type loop inside a page template, which is coded like that

    <?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'partners' );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
echo '<div class="partner-name">';
  the_title();
  echo '</div>';
  echo '<div class="entry-content">';
  the_content();
  echo '</div>';
endwhile; ?>

    Where should I place the do_action hook to show the custom taxonomies I created? If I add it before endwhile it doesn’t work.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    You can place the do_action call anywhere you want as long as you also specify the post type slug as a second parameter. However note that the visitor will always be directed to the post type archive when doing a filter.. BTF does not work with custom loops (it’d be impossible).

    I see! I had actually solved the issue in the meanwhile but if I can’t use it in custom loop, then maybe the plugin is not the solution for my problem. I need two different custom post archives in the same page, I guess this is only possible with custom loops…thanks anyway!

    Hi,

    Not necessarily. It’s absolutely possible to have different post type archives in the same page. But just make sure you use the default wp_query for the one which should be filtered with BTF.

    The other can easily be a custom wp_query with your own loop in the same template (archive.php or cptslug-archive.php).

    But do it the way it works for you! There’s rarely only one right answer to solving code ??
