Custom Taxonomy Loop WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with a custom loop for a custom taxonomy
I have a custom post type called 'wff-shop' and a custom taxonomy called 'shop-category'.
There are 4 x categories in the taxonomy ('Bakery, The Cupboard, Meat, Fruit and Veg') and within each of these categories there are sub categories. For example Bakery has 'Bread, Cakes, Biscuits etc. For the Bakery landing page i would like to list each of the sub categories with their relevant posts underneath them.
I have attached a visual as to how the page will be laid out however it will need to work something like this:
Category/Term Title 1
- Post 1
- Post 2
- Post 3
Category/Term Title 2
- Post 1
- Post 2
- Post 3
Category/Term Title 3
- Post 1
- Post 2
- Post 3
and so on.
Each post will be output in a div with a thumbnail, title and price however i have all of the html markup for this..
Thanks

I make use of the following

The result (with some css tweaking) can be seen here:
