Query / Loop for Custom Post Type AND Page Content

    Hello,

    I can’t find the solution for displaying my custom post type and the page content. I would like to display at first the content of the regular wordpress page and after that, I would like to display a portfolio (for example) with the custom post types:

    At first I registered the custom post type in the functions.php – no problem. Then I created a page-template with a CPT-Loop.

    <?php
/**
 * Template Name: Portfolio
 * The template for displaying portfolio posts.
 *
 * @package blalba
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area col-md-9">
		<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
			<?php 

            $args = array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => 9 );
            $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
            while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

            <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

				<?php
					// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
					if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
						comments_template();
					endif;
				?>

			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

		</main><!-- #main -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    My Question: How should I code the loop / query to display both (CPT and Page Content)? I found in the WP Codex a multiple Loop… but it doesn’t work for me.

    Thanks,

    David

    You can display the page content using the main loop, which doesn’t required a new WP_Query instance as it already exists.

    if ( have_posts() ) {
  while ( have_posts() ) {
    the_post();
    /* page markup here using the_content() etc */
  }
}

$args = array( /* args */ );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) {
  while ( $loop->have_posts() ) {
    $loop->the_post();
    /* loop markup here using the_content() etc */
  }
}

wp_reset_postdata(); // reset to the original page data

    Hi karpstrucking,

    thanks for your answer.

    I realized your code like this: 

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

				<?php
					// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
					if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
						comments_template();
					endif;
				?>

		<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

        <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

		<?php 

        $args = array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => 9 );
        $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
        while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

        <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

			<?php
				// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
				if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
					comments_template();
				endif;
			?>

		<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

        <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

    … and this works great for me.

    Is this the way as it provides for wordpress?
