Hi Scribu,
On a sidebar I am using your p2p to show the products related to that of the main area. Now, I want to have a loop of places where you can buy the product by creating a loop on top of the posts 2 posts loop. The code is as follows:
```
$wp_query = new WP_Query(array(
   'post_type' => 'client',
   'client_type' => 'Distributor'));
   while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
    echo '<h2>' . the_title() . '</h2>'; //just testing if outputs
   endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
```
The posts 2 posts works only if I remove the above code. However, If I put this code under the posts 2 post code they both come out.

thanks again for your help,

Mauro

Hi Scribu,
I don’t thinks that I explained my question correctly. The first loop is not a p2p loop. Meaning its a wp loop. The second one is a p2p loop. My problem is that if I do a WP_Query on before the p2p, p2p outputs nothing, whereas if I do it after everything is OK. Please see a summarized version of my code:
```
$wp_query = new WP_Query(array(
   'post_type' => 'client',
   'client_type' => 'Distributor'));
   while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
    echo '<h2>' . the_title() . '</h2>'; //just testing if outputs
   endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

$connected = new WP_Query( array(
	'post_type' => 'ups',
	'connected_from' => get_the_ID(),
	'nopaging' => true,
	'suppress_filters' => false
) );
?>
<div id="products_wrapper">
	<h3><?php _e('you may also be interested in...','eq_power') ?></h3>
	<?php
	// if ($connected->have_posts()) :
	while( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post();
	?>
	<div class="products_item_wrapper">
		<?php  echo '<h2>' . the_title() . '</h2>'; //just testing if outputs?>
	</div>
	
	<?php endwhile;
		wp_reset_postdata();?>


```
thanks,

Mauro

The problem is that get_the_ID() is meant to be used within The Loop.

Try replacing it with get_queried_object_id() or storing it in a temporary variable before the non-p2p query.

Yep, it worked. I used the following:
$temp_prod_ID= get_queried_object_id();
and then substituted get_the_ID() as follows:
```
$connected = new WP_Query( array(
	'post_type' => 'ups',
	'connected_from' => $temp_prod_ID,
	'nopaging' => true,
	'suppress_filters' => false
) );
```
PS.
How you give better support than for most paying plugins is something that is beyond me…

Anyway, I made a small contribution for all the help that you’ve been giving me.

Thanks again,

Mauro
