• Hi Everyone.

    I’m trying to make a timeline with posts in het categorie “timeline” and with as children the years. So i used to a code i found here:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/listing-child-categories-and-posts-1?replies=5

    and i want to make a 2 column stucture so i used this tutorial:
    http://perishablepress.com/two-column-horizontal-sequence-wordpress-post-order/
    And i wanted to combine them.

    So i get made this piece:

    <?php
    //get terms (e.g. categories or post tags), then display all posts in each retrieved term
    $taxonomy = 'category';//  e.g. post_tag, category
    $param_type = 'category__in'; //  e.g. tag__in, category__in
    $term_args=array(
      'orderby' => 'name',
      'order' => 'DESC',
      'child_of' => 5
    );
    $terms = get_terms($taxonomy,$term_args);
    if ($terms) {
      foreach( $terms as $term ) {
        $args=array(
          "$param_type" => array($term->term_id),
          'post_type' => 'post',
          'post_status' => 'publish',
          'showposts' => -1,
          'caller_get_posts'=> 1
          );
        $my_query = null;
        $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
        if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    
          echo '<div class="year_cntr"><ul class="photos_left">'; $count = 0;
    
          while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $i++; if(($i % 2) == 0) : $my_query->next_post(); else : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    
    	  <?php $count++; ?>
    
            	<li>
            		<div class="photo_cntr" style="float: right;">
    					<div class="cell"><?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'photo', array('class' => 'photo_'.$count.'') ); } ?><h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3><?php the_content() ?>
                    	</div>
                	</div>
    			</li>
    
    	<?php endif; ?>
           <?php
                 endwhile;
        }
    	echo '</ul><ul class="photos_right">';
    	$i = 0; rewind_posts();;
       	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $i++; if(($i % 2) !== 0) : $my_query->next_post(); else : $my_query->the_post();
    	$count++;?>
        <li>
            <div class="photo_cntr" style="float: left;">
    		<div class="cell">
    		<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'photo', array('class' => 'photo_'.$count.'') ); } ?>
    		<h4><?php the_title(); ?> </h4>
    		<?php the_content() ?> </div>
            </div>
        </li>
    	<?php endif; ?>
        <?php
                 endwhile;
    	echo '</ul><div class="yearstamp">' . $term->name. '</div></div>';
      }
      echo 'test';
    }
    wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
    ?>

    This thing works OK for some children categories, but others give the same results in the “<ul class=”photos_left”>” as in the “<ul class=”photo_right”>”.

    And i’m really stuck on this because i don’t know why??!?!?!

    English is not my native tongue and my coding is noob style, so i hope this problem is readable.
