I need this too ??

Even if I manually put a page id instead of $post->ID, it doesn’t work…

Is my loop wrong? I don’t know why the_meta would work and get_post_meta wouldn’t if they are both used at the same point.

I tried that before but it didn’t work either ??

Here’s the complete code… I don’t GET IT! ?? I’ve been looking for like 5 hours straight and I get how it should work, I just must have like 1 little thing wrong… the_meta() works fine and displays all the keys and values but if I try to get just one key and value with get_post_meta, nothing shows up. I’ve tried calling a few of the custom field keys, none come up.

<?php get_header(); ?>
<article>
	<div class="blog-article">
		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<section>
			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<header>
					<h1 class="post-title">
						<?php the_title(); ?>
					</h1>
				</header>
				<section>
					<?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title', true); ?>
				</section>

			</div>
		</section>
		<section>
			<?php the_content(); ?>
		</section>
	</div>
	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</article>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

The reason I don’t want to use the_meta is because I need to have the keys/values in a certain order and kinda scattered… I want to be able to call each individual one with get_post_meta, for example:

<ul>
<li><?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title', true); ?></li>
<li><?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'next', true); ?></li>
<li><?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'other', true); ?></li>
<li><?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'etc', true); ?></li>
</ul>

<div>
<?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'something', true); ?>
</div>

I tried that, it didn’t work :(. I found the solution though.

get_posts(tag=) gets the tag’s slug, not the actual tag. So, I needed to get the page’s slug, not the page’s title.

Instead of wp_title() I use basename(get_permalink()); to get the page’s slug.

Thanks :D!

I think the problem may be that get_posts(tag=) gets the tag’s slug, so I need to get the page’s slug, not the title? I don’t know how to get the page’s slug, but I’m looking.

That didn’t change anything on the page (nothing was added or subtracted).

When I use the_title() instead of wp_title(”,false,”) it displays the 5 most recent posts (but they aren’t filtered by tag).

Also, when I echo $myposts, the only thing that gets displayed is the word “Array”. Should it also have each post as an array item at that point?

Here’s the code:

<?php $page_title = wp_title('',false,''); ?>
<ul>
<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('posts_per_page=5&tag=' . $page_title);
echo $myposts;
foreach($myposts as $post) :
	setup_postdata($post);
?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

The only thing that is displaying is the word “Array”.

Thanks for replying, I have no idea how to accomplish this ?? I tried your code, but how I’m doing it doesn’t work. Here’s how I’m using it:

<article>
	<div class="blog-article">
		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<section>
			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<header>
					<h1 id="page-list-header">
						<?php the_title(); ?>
					</h1>
				</header>
			</div>
		</section>
		<section>
			<?php the_content(); ?>
		</section>
		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

		<?php $page_title = wp_title('',false,'');?>
		<ul>
		<?php
		global $post;
		$myposts = get_posts('posts_per_page=5&tag=' . $page_title);
		foreach($myposts as $post) :
			setup_postdata($post);
		?>
			<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>

Nothing shows up for that area of code.

IE 7 could possibly handle widths borders different than all other browsers, I forget. You may have to make a conditional statement that takes a couple of pixels from the width of the element.

Yeah, I see grid-wrapper isn’t inside single-wrapper. If you are able to edit that file, find where <div id=”grid-wrapper”> starts and add class=”hidden” to it, so it would come out to:

<div id="grid-wrapper" class="hidden">

Then in your CSS put:

.hidden {display: none;}

I didn’t really read the code but if I understand correctly, you should be able to hide it with CSS (assuming the grid-wrapper div is inside the single-wrapper div):

#single-wrapper #grid-wrapper {display: none;}

and if that doesn’t work, try:

#single-wrapper>#grid-wrapper {display: none;}

Put them in your CSS file.

Oh my god…….. Thank you so much! I’ve spent so much time trying to figure it out… I’ll post the fix on the other forums I posted on so people can see the problem in case they ever get the problem.

Thanks again!

Sorry, I removed that head while troubleshooting it, but I forgot to put it back in. That didn’t make any difference. I just noticed that the :hovers in the sidebar section of the recipes and stuff don’t work on drlapiana.com/blog, but they work on drlapiana.com. That may have something to do with it.
