Used to use two loops, how do I do this now in 2.8?

  • This home.php template code works just ducky in older versions but doesn’t work in 2.8. How do I change the code to give me the same result in 2.8?

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
			<div class="entry">
				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

			</div><!-- end entry -->
		</div><!-- end post -->
		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
	<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

		<h3 class="news">Most Recent News</h3>

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=3'); ?>
  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <div class="post<?php sticky_class(); ?>">
    <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="PermaLink to <?php the_title(); ?>">
      <?php the_title(); ?>
      </a></h2>
    <p class="small">
    <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by
    <?php the_author() ?>
    </p>
    <div class="entry">
      <?php  the_excerpt('more . . .  &raquo;'); ?>
    </div>
    <p class="postmetadata">Posted in
      <?php the_category(', ') ?>
      <strong>|</strong>
      <?php edit_post_link('Edit','','<strong>|</strong>'); ?>
      <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
    </p>
    <!--
				<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
				-->
  </div>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
  <?php else : ?>
  <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
  <p class="center">
    <?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here."); ?>
  </p>
  <?php endif; ?>

  • It should still work in 2.8. What’s the problem?

    Maybe you just need to take another look at Multiple Loops?

    I’m having the exact same problem. Multiple loops on the homepage appear buggy in 2.8…any ideas…?

    So, at least the solution to my personal problem on the homepage had to do with the “Stealth Publish” plugin, which looks not to be 100% compatible with 2.8. As soon as I removed the custom fields from those posts associated with this plugin, they appeared on the homepage as before.

    What kinds of problems occur with this code? There’s so many ways to get the loops to work, and esmi mentioned that Multiple Loops page which helps a lot.

    Might try using update_post_caches($posts) if it’s a plugin that’s causing the errors.

    What kinds of problems occur with this code?

    What was supposed to be contained in the loops just don’t show up…it’s like WP just ignores they’re even there…but as I said, as soon as I removed the custom field on those posts that was created by the plugin, all problems went away.
