Multiple loops

Hi,

On my site I need 2 loops running, one loop is just for the normal posts and the other are from a custom post type that I have made.

I know there is something to do with WP_Query.

Here is a link to the code:

The first loop runs without any problems,
but the seconds just displays the Error. (Else statement)

I hope someone has a solution to displays the 2nd loop that has to display the custom post type.

Hi!

Hope you are doing good!

I think part of the reason could be because you are not resetting the post data. If you look at the documentation page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

Quick excerpt:

$query1 = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
while ( $query1->have_posts() ) {
	$query1->the_post();
	echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
}

/* Restore original Post Data
 * NB: Because we are using new WP_Query we aren't stomping on the
 * original $wp_query and it does not need to be reset with
 * wp_reset_query(). We just need to set the post data back up with
 * wp_reset_postdata().
 */
wp_reset_postdata();

$query2 = new WP_Query( $args2 );
while ( $query2->have_posts() ) {
	$query2->the_post();
	echo '<li>' . get_the_title( $query2->post->ID ) . '</li>';
}

// Restore original Post Data because we always cleanup after ourselves
wp_reset_postdata();

Hope that helps!
