    Hi all,
    I’m trying to solve what should be a simple fix:

    I am building a shopping cart, with a custom theme page with multiple loops querying multiple categories.

    http://summerhousefurnishings.farmroaddesign.com/?page_id=133

    I can’t figure out what to add between each loop to force the new loop’s query results to begin on a new line (rather than a continuation of the product grid).

    I’d like to then style a seperator between each of the categories results.

    Thanks!

  • Hey Peter,

    Try this and see if it helps:

    At the end of each loop add:
    <div class="clear"></div>

    The CSS for this would be:
    div.clear { clear: both; }

    Basically what’s happening is the id of product is stacking because of the left float.

    You should also look into changing the id product to a class of product. Check out this article from Chris Coyer on the topic of ID vs Classes: http://css-tricks.com/the-difference-between-id-and-class/

    please post the full code of the template with the multiple loops; http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code

    Hi Allen, what a huge help! That solved it. Thanks very much. And thanks for ID/Class links. Though I know the difference, I admit to defaulting to ID. Will read it through.

    Alchymyth, thanks for offer to looki at code. Here’s the hack I pulled together. Works fine, but probably a messy, uneconomical way to do it. Any suggestions you have will be welcomed.

    <?php
    /**
     * Template Name: Product Grid Page
     *
     */
    
    get_header(); ?>
    
    		<div id="fullwidthholder">
    
    			<?php $args = array(
    				'posts_per_page' => 100,
    				'category_name' => 'Product',
    				'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
    				);
    				$product_posts = new WP_Query( $args );
    			if( $product_posts->have_posts() ) :
    			while ( $product_posts->have_posts() ) : $product_posts->the_post(); ?>
    
    			<div id="product">
    				<?php {
    				the_title('<div id="producttitle">', '</div>');
    				$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large');
       				echo '<a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" rel="lightbox">';
      				the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail') ;
       				echo '</a>';
     			};
    
     			the_content('<body>', '</body>');//add here what you want to output per post/product// ?>
    
    			</div><!-- .product Category "Product" _________________________________________________-->
