Widget – running a WP_Query in it?
-
Hello!
Im building a site for a client and im making i widget to display “news” (posts from a specified category) on the firstpage. However, im having some trouble printing it correctly on the screen.
echo $before_widget; echo ' <article class="news"> <header class="heading small"> <span class="icon icon-news"> </span> <hgroup> <h2>' . $title . '</h2> <h4>' . $subtitle . '</h4> </hgroup> </header>'; $recent = new WP_Query("cat=". $cat ."&showposts=". $posts .""); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); echo ' <div class="news-item"> <a href="'.the_permalink().'" class="heavy">'.the_title().'</a> <p class="news-excerpt"> '.the_excerpt().' <span class="read-more"><a href="'.the_permalink().'">L?s mer...</a></span> </p> </div>'; endwhile; echo ' </article> '; echo $after_widget;
As you probably see im no phpcoder ?? Right now the output is: All the functions for permalinks, title and all that gets executed first, then my “layout” is beneeth it, empty. What am i doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance!
