Last post by category

  • On my index.php I’m displaying posts by category.

    <?php
    $i = 0;
    $cat1 = $cat2 = $cat3 = $cat4 = $cat5 = $cat6 = $cat7 = Array();
    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

    if ( in_category( 'neuigkeit' ) ) {
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_title'] = get_the_title();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_content'] = get_the_content();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_permalink'] = get_permalink();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_ID'] = get_the_ID();
    }
    if ( in_category( 'geschichte' ) ) {
        $cat2[ $i ]['the_title'] = get_the_title();
        $cat2[ $i ]['the_excerpt'] = get_the_excerpt();
        $cat2[ $i ]['the_permalink'] = get_permalink();
        $cat2[ $i ]['the_ID'] = get_the_ID();
    } // ... more categories...

    My first category with News is called with this code:

    foreach( $cat1 as $post ) { ?>
    <article class="entry-content">
        <h2><?php _e("<!--:rm-->Eveniments<!--:--><!--:de-->Ereignisse<!--:-->"); ?></h2>
        <h3><?php echo $post['the_title']; ?></h3>
        <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post['the_ID'], 'medium' ); ?>
        <p><?php echo $post['the_content']; ?></p>
        <p class="byline vcard">
        <?php printf( __( '<time class="updated" datetime="%1$s" pubdate>%2$s</time>', 'bonestheme' ), get_the_time('Y-m-j'), get_the_time(get_option('date_format')), get_the_author_link( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )); ?>
        </p>
    </article>

    The problem is, that only the oldest article is display, but I just want to display the newest article. How can I change my code?

  • By checking code, it seems like you are getting only 1 post per category ?

    Yes. I do only need 1 post per category. But the newest one, not the oldest one…

    just replace this code

    if ( in_category( 'neuigkeit' ) ) {
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_title'] = get_the_title();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_content'] = get_the_content();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_permalink'] = get_permalink();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_ID'] = get_the_ID();
    }

    with

    if ( in_category( 'neuigkeit' ) ) {
        if(!empty($cat1)){
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_title'] = get_the_title();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_content'] = get_the_content();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_permalink'] = get_permalink();
        $cat1[ $i ]['the_ID'] = get_the_ID();
    }
}

    and check if it solves your issue.

    sorry with

    if(empty($cat1))
