    I have this page: https://www.lichens.ie/index.php and I want to pull 2 newest posts from 2 different categories. So I’m using this piece of code: 

    <?php
			 $imposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=4');
			 foreach($imposts as $post) :
			?>
				<div class="post" id="home-page-featured-1">
					<p class="subtitle">Lichen of the month</p>
					<h2><a><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
					<?php the_content('<span class="readmore">...read more</span>'); ?>
					<div class="clear"></div>
				</div>
			<?php endforeach; ?>

			<?php
			 $imposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=3');
			 foreach($imposts as $post) :
			?>
				<div class="post" id="home-page-featured-2">
					<p class="subtitle">Have you seen this lichen?</p>
					<h2><a><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
					<?php the_content('<span class="readmore">...read more</span>'); ?>
					<div class="clear"></div>
				</div>
			<?php endforeach; ?>

    …and all I get are just titles – content won’t display. Why is that so?

  • Try adding setup_postdata($post); right after your foreach lines… like this:

    $imposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=4');
			 foreach($imposts as $post) :
			 setup_postdata($post);
			?>
				<div class="post" id="home-page-featured-1">
					<p class="subtitle">Lichen of the month</p>
					<h2><a><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
					<?php the_content('<span class="readmore">...read more</span>'); ?>
					<div class="clear"></div>
				</div>
			<?php endforeach; ?>

			<?php
			 $imposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=3');
			 foreach($imposts as $post) :
			 setup_postdata($post);
			?>
				<div class="post" id="home-page-featured-2">
					<p class="subtitle">Have you seen this lichen?</p>
					<h2><a><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
					<?php the_content('<span class="readmore">...read more</span>'); ?>
					<div class="clear"></div>
				</div>
			<?php endforeach; ?>
