Content repeating on page WordPress

  • SOLVED

If I create a custom home.php file on my site using the Automatic Underscores theme, the blog page repeats all content above the footer twice.

I've built with Underscores before and not seen this. Have disabled all plugins...can't figure it out.

Here's the complete code for the home.php file:



<?php
/**
* The header for our theme.
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="content">
*
* @package Test Site
*/

?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">

<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'google_font_one', true);?>
<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'google_font_two', true);?>
<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'google_font_three', true);?>
<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'google_font_four', true);?>
<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'google_font_five', true);?>

<style media="screen" type="text/css">

.home-form-submit{background:<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'form_button_background_color', true);?> !important;}
.home-form-submit:hover {background:<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'form_button_background_color_on_hover', true);?> !important;}
.footer-form-submit{background:<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'form_button_background_color', true);?> !important;}
.footer-form-submit:hover {background:<?php $post_id = 34;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'form_button_background_color_on_hover', true);?> !important;}
.main-navigation li {padding:.25em 1em .25em 1em;font-size:<?php $post_id = 7;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'nav_font_size', true);?>px !important;<?php $post_id = 7;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'nav_font_family', true);?>}
.main-navigation li > a:link {color:<?php $post_id = 7;echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'nav_font_color', true);?>}

Zulfikar Nore answers:

You have two instances of `<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>` and `<?php endwhile; ?>`.

Remove the first instance from the code and see what happens.

Zulfikar,

I changed from using <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> to introduce the loop to <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?> and the problem went away.

Do you know why I couldn't use the other method?


Zulfikar Nore comments:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?> checks to see if you have any published posts and while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); initiates the loop quering the post and returns the content.


Kyler Boudreau comments:

I see. So I doubled up the latter, and that broke it. Gotcha. Thanks man.

you shouldn't use <strong>main query</strong> multiple times on one page

- main query (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts)
if(have_posts()) :
while(have_posts()) :
//your stuff here
endwhile;
endif;


- use additional custom query instead (https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
$args = array (
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => 12,
'post_type' => array('post_type_here'),
'post_status' => array('publish'),
);
$wpq = new WP_Query($args);

if($wpq->have_posts()) :
while($wpq->have_posts()) : $wpq->the_post();
//your stuff here
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
