I just wondered if you’d manage to come up with any more ideas of what this could be?

Var dump – on further perusal I think it might actually be bringing through all posts? including past exhibitions, so those after the date (so past events) but this is probably because the if statement is after the dump?

Thanks

okay, thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

Yeah I’ve tried that before. Even when using the default amount of posts and no paging (which consequently isn’t working either), it misses out two posts.

They all have the meta data too.

Is it possible the problem lies with the original functions in functions.php?

function get_exhibition_container() {
    global $post;
    ?>
    <section class="exhibition_container clearfix">

    <?php the_post_thumbnail('slideshowad', array('class' => 'exhibition')); ?>

     <div class="left-column-short">
     <p> 

     <?php
     $custom = get_post_custom();
    	?>

     <strong>
     <?php echo date("F d, Y",strtotime($custom["exhibition_start_date"][0])); ?> 

     -<br/>
	<?php echo date("F d, Y",strtotime($custom["exhibition_end_date"][0])); ?> 

     <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'exhibition_location', true); ?></strong>

       <br/>
      <em> <?php  if($custom["exhibition_start_time"][0]);
        echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'exhibition_start_time', true);' 

        -' ?>
      <?php  if($custom["exhibition_end_time"][0]);
		  echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'exhibition_end_time', true); ?></em>
    </div>
     <div class="right-column-long">
	    <div class="right-text">
	    <h2 class="caps"><?php echo '<a href="'. get_post_permalink($post->ID) . '">'. $post->post_title .'</a></h2>' ?>
	    <?php the_excerpt($post->ID) ?>
	    </div>
    </div>
    </section>

Nope still missing two posts?

Notice: Undefined variable: content in /var/www/vhosts/thestudio.effectdigital.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/griffin-studio/functions.php on line 332

function get_event_container() {
    global $post;
   	$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
    $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);

    $ret = '<section class="event_container clearfix">';
    $ret = $ret .  get_event_details(false, true);
    $ret = $ret . '<div class="right-column-long"><div class="right-text">' . $content . '</div></div>';
    $ret =  $ret . '</section>';

    return $ret;
}

Cool so how do I use the

<?php
$content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
$content = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content);
?>

In my functions file, just delcaring $content inside my functions file doesn’t work, but I need to keep the formatting from the_content which get strips out

Worked it out, space in the functions file, omg so simple!

Ok I’ve got the site showing but not the login screen still, any ideas?!

Cannot switch the theme because I can’t login anyway and yes I’ve tried that, no results ??

Thankyou that worked perfectly and I’ve changed to slugs (:

Ok I’ve managed to get it working, but occasionally my second loop only gets 2 posts instead of 3, any ideas?

Hi there. I am doing this, but it is still not working, any help?

I think maybe because this is assuming you’re getting the posts from the same category whereas I need to get them from two seperate ones, but were a post is in both, make sure only it is displayed once from one category?

[code moderated - please follow the forum guidelines for posting code]

So how would this work with this code?

Or actually this may work better, these categories are all in a parent category, so get 1 child category from the parent category and display 1 post from each of those child categories?

Nevermind I have fixed it. for anybody else who is curious:

<?php
$c = 1; //init counter
$bpr = 3; //boxes per row
foreach(get_the_category() as $category)
{
  $cat = $category->cat_ID;
}
query_posts('cat=.$cat.&showposts=3&orderby=rand');
if(have_posts()) :
while(have_posts()) :
the_post();
?>
