Double loop, category loop and posts per page

  • Hello everyone,
    I’m a bit confused here…

    I’m trying to loop in my custom post type category, all of my categories, and show 2-3 posts per category…

    Do I need a while… or a forearch… or both…
    Here’s what i have so far.

    $args = array(
'post_type' 		=> 'portfolio',
'category__not_in' 	=> array( 30, 28 ), // Exclude IDS
'posts_per_page' 	=> 2, // Number of posts per page I want to show
'order' 			=> 'DESC', // Order
);

// The new loop!
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

//Display the contents
if (have_posts()) : while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

	the_title(); ?>
	the_post_thumbnail('medium');

endwhile; endif;

    My file’s name is : category-portfolio.php

    Can you help me on this

  • I think you need to put the outer query to one side and recover it after you have finished with the inner query. So:

    $outer_query = clone $wp_query;
// make the child query
$args = array( etc

$inner_loop = new etc

// now back to the outer loop
$wp_query = clone $outer_query;
