wp_query omitting posts and returning duplicates.

    I’m not sure what’s going on here.

    This is my code:

    $events=new WP_Query( array('post_type'=>'team_list_event') );
  if($events->have_posts()){
    while($events->have_posts()){
      $QID=$events->post->ID;
      echo '
      <tr><td>
      <a href="">'.get_the_title($QID).'</a>
      </td></tr>';
      $events->the_post();
      $i=($i==0)?1:0;
    }
    echo '</table>';
  }

    I have 2 posts, ID 6 and ID 22.

    ID 6 is skipped and ID 22 is rendered twice.

    I’ve obviously misunderstood how the loop works: what am I doing wrong?

    I suppose I could set up a query “SELECT ID,post_type FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type= ‘team_list_event'”, but I want to do it the proper way.

    move this line:
    $events->the_post();

    directly to the location after this line:
    while($events->have_posts()){

    Thanks!

    In my defence, isn’t that a little counter intuitive?

    I would expect to wind on the post after I’d accessed the content rather than before.

    But it’s a minor gripe, so long as it works! And I’m sure it’s tripped up others besides myself.

    🙂

    Thanks again.
