that’s very helpful, thank you for your reply.
That’s worked great but now my tags aren’t displaying.
Are there any known issues with this method and tagging?
here is my code: Any idea why the tags don’t display on the top (newest news) section?
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php
global $post;
$the_newest = get_posts('numberposts=1');
$the_newer = get_posts('numberposts=2&offset=1');
$the_new = get_posts('numberposts=3&offset=4&order=DESC&orderby=post_date'); ?>
<?php foreach($the_newest as $post) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class='headerbox'>
<h1 class="header_title">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h1>
<div class='undertitle'>
<p><?php the_date(); ?> | <?php the_category(' • '); ?> |
<a title='leave a comment on: <?php the_title(); ?>' href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('No comments - leave yours?','1 comment - leave yours?','% comments - leave yours?'); ?></a>
</div><?php /*close undertitle*/?>
</div><?php /*close headerbox*/?>
<?php the_content("Continue reading " . the_title('', '', false)); ?>
<p class='rightp'>
<a title="Comment on: '<?php the_title(); ?>'" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
Comment on: <?php the_title(); ?> »</a></p>
<div class='undercontent'>
<p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>
</div><?php /*close undercontent*/?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php foreach($the_newer as $post) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class="smaller-post">
<h2 class="smaller-post-title">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h2>
<div class='smaller-meta'>
<?php the_excerpt('<span>Read the rest of this entry? »</span>'); ?>
Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> |

<a title='leave a comment on: <?php the_title(); ?>' href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
<?php comments_number('No comments - leave yours?','1 comment - leave yours?','% comments - leave yours?'); ?></a
</div> <?php /*close smaller meta*/?>
</div> <?php /*close smaller entry*/?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php foreach($the_new as $post) :

<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Not sure about a get_posts loop, but this from my notes:
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->in_the_loop = true; //but not necessary at 2.9???
Getting the_tags to work in a custom query
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10'); ?>
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->in_the_loop = true; //but not necessary at 2.9???
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<div class="def"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
<?php the_tags(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Eeek I’m not too advanced in this sort of stuff, but I’ll take a look later.
I assume I need to make a couple of changes to the file using your second example?
I’m hopeless, I might give up and donate to my friend’s beer fund and get him to take a look 😛
my hacking about shows the tags, but 6 times. Not sure how I managed that 😉
yeah fixed, it does work!
BUT could you give it the once over to ensure I’ve not done anything silly that will break later?
I honestly owe you mega props for this. Thank you!!
