I have a home page slider on a theme I'm building that's set to display an image from the "Featured" category. It works brilliantly except for one problem;
If someone marks a post in the Featured category AND a 2nd category, the slider won't display that post's featured image. For example, if the post's category is ticked off as "Featured" & "Sports", it won't display in the slider. Only if the post is "Featured".
I've scoured the forum already thinking that someone must have brought this up before but I haven't found an answer.
Here is my code for the slider:
<ul id="s3sliderContent">
<?php
$args=array(
'cat' => Featured,
'showposts' => 3,
'caller_get_posts' => 1
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li class="s3sliderImage">
<a href="<?php echo the_slug(); ?>" >
<img class="sliderThumb" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Featured", $single = true); ?>&h=250&w=900&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="900px" height="250px" /> </a>
<span><?php the_title(); ?></span>
</li>
<?php endwhile;
} //if ($my_query)
wp_reset_query(); //Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
</ul> <!-- end #s3sliderContent -->
