We’re having the same problem as djhsecondnature.

We have a custom post type for ‘featured product’, which we’re linking to individual blog posts. Each blog post has a box at the bottom for featured product. When we preview a blog post before it’s published, the featured product isn’t shown. After the post is published, preview shows the featured post box, but not before, and our writers are unhappy because they’d like to be able to preview the featured product box before publishing the post.

Can anyone help?

Here’s the code:

// add connection type
function my_connection_types() {
	p2p_register_connection_type( array(
		'name' => 'posts_to_featured_products',
		'from' => 'post',
		'to' => 'featured_products'
	) );
}
add_action( 'p2p_init', 'my_connection_types' );

// add product box after content
add_action('template_redirect', 'product_conditional_actions');
function product_conditional_actions() {
	if( is_single() && !is_singular( 'featured_products' ) ) {
	add_action('genesis_after_post_content', 'add_featured_product_box');
	}
}

function add_featured_product_box() {

	// Find connected pages
	$connected = new WP_Query( array(
	  'connected_type' => 'posts_to_featured_products',
	  'connected_items' => get_queried_object(),
	  'nopaging' => true,
	) );

	// Display connected pages
	if ( $connected->have_posts() ) :
	?>
	<div class="featuredproductteaser">
		<?php while ( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post(); ?>

				<?php $producturl=get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'product_url', true);
					if ( $producturl ) { ?>

						<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
							<a href="<?php echo $producturl; ?>" target="_blank">
								<?php the_post_thumbnail('featured-product-thumb'); ?>
							</a>
							<?php } ?>
						<div class="copy">
							<h2>Featured resource</h2>
							<h3><a href="<?php echo $producturl; ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
							<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
							<p class="flink"><a href="<?php echo $producturl; ?>" target="_blank">Get it now</a></p>
						</div>

					<?php } else { ?>

						<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
							<a href="<?php echo $producturl; ?>" target="_blank">
								<?php the_post_thumbnail('featured-product-thumb'); ?>
							</a>
							<?php } ?>
						<div class="copy">
							<h2>Featured resource</h2>
							<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
							<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
							<p class="flink"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="_blank">Get it now</a></p>
						</div>

				<?php } ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
	</div>
	<?php
	// Prevent weirdness
	wp_reset_postdata();

	endif;

	}

God bless you for figuring that out. It was driving me crazy!
