Exclude from WP_Query Loop

Hello @clubside

Can you show us what settings you have made under WordPress Admin for YARPP?
Also what happens if you disable auto-populated YARPP posts from displaying below each post? Does it show Social Sharing buttons then?

Thank You

Howdy @aslamdoctor

I have since switch to a non-loop to avoid the issue but it would be nice to see a fix in case anyone else has the problem.

Here are our settings: https://outlawvern.com/posters/yarpp-settings.png

I haven’t tried disabling the auto-population as the site is actively used. I could always enable it for Film or Icon Custom Post Types if you think that could help debug. Anyway the Easy Social Share Buttons which have a similar “select post types to automatically show” setting did not appear.

I am in the process of developing a new theme. In case our settings are not a help I will re-implement the code that caused me to create this post and add a fresh reply here with a working link and the code that is causing it.

Thanks so much for your help,
Chris

Hey @aslamdoctor

I have reverted the code on the live server and I do need to solve this because using the_content() does not work correctly in a get_posts() loop (the read more link reference the page you are on rather than the post in the foreach.

Here is the code that causes Related Posts to appear, it’s nothing fancy and as I mentioned none of the other “automatically attach somewhere on posts” plugins render:

<?php

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
		
while ($query->have_posts()) {
	$query->the_post();
?>
	<div <?php post_class( 'vern-plainpost' ) ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

		<div class="vern-plainheader" style="background: url('<?php echo esc_url( get_the_post_thumbnail_url( get_the_ID(), 'full' ) ); ?>') no-repeat top center; background-size: cover;">

			<?php if(get_field('vern_is_bruce')) { ?>
			<img class="bruce" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bruce.jpg" alt="" />
			<?php } ?>

			<?php
			$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'review_series' );
									 
			if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) { ?>
			<div class="vern-plainheaderseries">
			<?php
				foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
					$image = get_field('review_series_icon', $term);
			?>
					<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" /><br>
			<?php
				}
			?>
			</div>
				
			<?php } ?>
			<div class="vern-plainheadertitle">
				<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php echo esc_html( get_the_title() ); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></a>
			</div>
			<div class="vern-plainheaderinfo">
				<?php echo get_the_time( 'F jS, Y' ); ?> | 
				<?php
					$number = (int) get_comments_number();
					if ( $number === 0)
						echo 'No Comments';
					elseif ( $number === 1)
						echo '1 Comment';
					else
						echo $number . ' Comments';
					// comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments');
				?>
				<?php edit_post_link('EDIT', ' | ', ''); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
		
		<div class="entry">
			<?php the_content('(read the rest...)'); ?>
		</div>

	</div>
<?php

	}

wp_reset_postdata();
?>

Is the problem with the_content()?

Really appreciate any help you can provide.
Chris

Hi @clubside

We have 2 questions:
1. Have you use setup_postdata($post); in the get_posts() records loop?
As it is very important for the helper methods like the_content() and the_title() to work properly.

2. Also after the loop finishes, have you done wp_reset_postdata()?. Because it is very important to restore the global variable $post to its previous value.

Here is a very basic example of get_posts() which will help you with this.

<ul>
    <?php
    global $post;
 
    $myposts = get_posts( array(
        'posts_per_page' => 5,
    ) );
 
    if ( $myposts ) {
        foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : 
            setup_postdata( $post ); // add this in the very beginning of the loop ?>
            <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
        <?php
        endforeach;
        wp_reset_postdata(); // add this after closing the loop immediately.
    }
    ?>
</ul>
