How to Display Post information using Post ID’s?

  • I am running a custom query using a select, and I have got a list of post id’s, how can I get all of the post information for these post’s?

    do I need to do setup_postdata? as I could not get it working?

    I want to be able to use the tempalte tags such as : the_title();
    etc..

    I am trying to use the following:
    <?php if ( function_exists(‘the_tags’) ) { the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ”); } ?>

    But it is not appearing

    My query is : $myquery = $wpdb->get_results($hdqry);

    yes, setup_postdata will work if the result of your query is data from the post table in wordpress

    here’s how i use it with get_children which returns post objects

    $pdfs_args = array(
		'post_parent' => $post->ID,
		'post_type' => 'attachment',
		'numberposts' => -1, // unlimited
		'post_mime_type' => 'application/pdf'
	);
       $pdfs = get_children($pdfs_args);

	if (!empty($pdfs))
	{
		echo "<h2>Literature</h2>";
		foreach ($pdfs as $post) // important that it is "$post"
		{
			setup_postdata($post);
			the_title();
                        // to check out what's in the object, uncomment the following line
			// echo "<textarea style=\"width:100%\">".  print_r($post, true). "</textarea>";
		}
	}

    hope this helps
