Header.php files inside page.php WordPress

Luis Cordova answers:

have you tried to insert some echos or debug right below the query or

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

please check this first

Kristin Falkner answers:

Have you tried resetting the query at the end instead of in the endwhile so:

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Luis Abarca answers:

The header.php its included via get_header()

So the variables in header.php are not global, try to add your function in functions.php


// functions.php



function get_featured_stories()
{
global $query_string;
query_posts($query_string . '&cat=3&showposts=5'); ?>

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

<li id="listingforfeatured" onclick="location.href='<?php the_permalink() ?>';" >

<div id="enadiotria" style="float:left; margin-right:5px; width:35px; height:35px; display:block; overflow:hidden">

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {

$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), array(35,35));

echo '<a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >';

the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');

echo '</a>';

} ?>

</div>

<div style="text-align:left; line-height:14px; font-size:13px; font-family: 'Oswald',sans-serif; float:left; width:158px;"><a style="color:white" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" >

<?php

$maxTitleLength = 50;

$t = get_the_title();

if( strlen($t) > $maxTitleLength ) {

// find the last space before truncation

$ls = strrchr(substr($t, 0, $maxTitleLength), ' ');

if( $ls ) $t = substr($t, 0, $maxTitleLength - strlen($ls)) . '...';

else $t = substr($t, 0, $maxTitleLength) . '...';

}

echo $t;
?>
</a></div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php endif;
}



or you can simple get the query

// functions.php


function get_featured_stories()
{
global $query_string;

return new WP_Query($query_string . '&cat=3&showposts=5');
}


Then in you page.php


$myposts = get_featured_stories();

<?php if ( $myposts->have_posts() ) : while ( $myposts->have_posts() ) : $myposts->the_post(); ?>

<li id="listingforfeatured" onclick="location.href='<?php the_permalink() ?>';" >

<div id="enadiotria" style="float:left; margin-right:5px; width:35px; height:35px; display:block; overflow:hidden">

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {

$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), array(35,35));

echo '<a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >';

the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');

echo '</a>';

} ?>

</div>

<div style="text-align:left; line-height:14px; font-size:13px; font-family: 'Oswald',sans-serif; float:left; width:158px;"><a style="color:white" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" >

<?php

$maxTitleLength = 50;

$t = get_the_title();

if( strlen($t) > $maxTitleLength ) {

// find the last space before truncation

$ls = strrchr(substr($t, 0, $maxTitleLength), ' ');

if( $ls ) $t = substr($t, 0, $maxTitleLength - strlen($ls)) . '...';

else $t = substr($t, 0, $maxTitleLength) . '...';

}

echo $t;
?>
</a></div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif;

Linda answers:

Hi, try moving the wp_reset_query(); to after the endif;.

**edit** Kristin beat me to it. :)
