Product page query interfering with page query (outside loop)

  • I really love Exchange… but I am having an issue on one of the sites I have installed it on. In my footer, I am pulling in a page outside of the loop and that query is being overriden by the Exchange product page query when I try to include the apply_filter function.

    I have been able to make this query work AS LONG AS I don’t try to apply the filters to the_content to maintain formatting. Once I add that, no content appears and instead the content is replaced by the current Product content. The Product content also shows up in the proper spot in the page.

    I have not customized the Exchange loops or main pages although they are being served up from within my theme (in case I want to) as suggested.

    Here is the original page query (which worked perfectly without Exchange as I said) :

    <?php
$my_postid = 4;
$content_post = get_post($my_postid);
$permalink = get_permalink($page_id);
$content = $content_post->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
?>
<?php echo $content; ?>

    The page I’m messing with is here (be aware that I may still be trying stuff hit or miss) :

    Follow up on my hours of trying to debug this…

    I came upon this post which led me to my last ditch effort :
    https://codegarage.com/blog/2011/09/the-wordpress-post-object-and-you/

    …that worked! So I finally ended up calling the page like this :

    <?php
$page_id = 4;
$get_page_object = get_page( $page_id );
$page_object = $get_page_object->post_content; ?>
<pre><?php echo $page_object; ?></pre>

    The product no longer takes over my footer and the page content that is meant to be there is there and is formatted. But as always, a new mystery was created. I had a h2 in the page content with a span and class=”french” to style it. Wrapping the echoed output in
    pre tags caused the span to disappear.

    I am not marking this as resolved as I still don’t understand exactly what is going on and would appreciate it if someone (perhaps from iThemes Exchange hovering in the wings?) would show up with a hint.

    Hi vizou,

    I am seeing an h2 and a span with the class of “french.” I included a link to a screenshot of what I’m seeing. Did I misunderstand what it is that you’re asking about?

    Thanks,

    Elise

    That’s just the first of three columns in the footer. I have removed the offending spans from the Page that is showing my company address an contact info there in the footer. The page content now shows up properly formatted due to the use of pre.

    Using pre was a hack to make Exchange work properly. I have Exchange on another site that has no queries in the footer :
    https://norahrendell.com/nr/product/norah-rendell-brian-miller-wait-there-pretty-one/ and all works to perfection so I think there is something, somewhere, in the Exchange template system that is corrupting the following query (outside loop) that is supposed to be in the footer…

    <?php
	$my_postid = 4;//coords
	$content_post = get_post($my_postid);
	$permalink = get_permalink($page_id);
	$content = $content_post->post_content;
	$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
	$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); ?>
	<?php echo $content; ?>
	<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>', 4);
?>

    …and I can’t find it (I’ve reviewed all Loops, Elements and page templates without luck). It seems that Exchange is looking at the_content and re-outputting the current page (Product) in my footer (if this code is there instead of what I am currently using to fix the problem).

    Thanks for chiming in! Love Exchange, really really!

    I’m encountering another problem on this page :

    https://norahrendell.com/nr/product/norah-rendell-brian-miller-wait-there-pretty-one/

    I think it is the same problem as the query issue; it started with the upgrade to WP 4.0 (worked fine before).

    Exchange is grabbing the wrong post content. It is also not recognizing registered custom post thumbnail sizes if I use this code; is there some way to register the with Exchange? :

    <?php it_exchange( 'product', 'featured-image', array( 'size' => 'iconthumb' ) ); ?>

    Help?
