Help with some modification WordPress
- SOLVED
i have a CPT field called 'news_shortcode' with some shortcode like [display-posts tag="collegium-wirtemberg" posts_per_page="3"].
I can get all post-links correctly in my template...
echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'news_shortcode', true));
Later on my page i want to show 'the_content'. But what i see that is not the CPT content but the first posts content that was linked above.
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"> →</span>');
If i move the last code before my "echo apply_filters" i get the correct content...
What must I do to get it work?

Hi, here is one idea using the <em>do_shortcode()</em>
$s='[display-posts tag="collegium-wirtemberg" posts_per_page="3"]';
echo do_shortcode($s);
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile; endif;
$s=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'news_shortcode', true);
echo do_shortcode($s);
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile; endif;

Martin Grether comments:
thanks, all the same. i see not the CPT content but the first linked posts content. if i use the if-statement around the content i see no content at all.
the shortcode is only for the linked title. it produces a list of news with a tag that is connected to that CPT entry via a tag.
Dbranes comments:
do you get something from
echo $post->post_content;
Martin Grether comments:
yes, as long as it is not wrapped in this if-statement. there is no need for a loop here. but it is all the same. with a shortcode i get the first posts content, without the (wanted) cpt content.
Dbranes comments:
yes, my idea is then to replace:
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"> →</span>');
echo "</div>";
with
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
echo $post->post_content;
echo "</div>";
in your code - or if you want the the_content filters on that output
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
$content= $post->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
echo $content;
echo "</div>";
Martin Grether comments:
all the same. all three options produce the same output.
Dbranes comments:
strange, here are three more ideas ;-) to replace these 3 lines
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"> →</span>');
echo "</div>";
in your code in
http://www.wpquestions.com/user/discourseShow/id/10503/discourse_id/814
with
a)
global $wpdb;
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
echo $content = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID=%d AND post_status='publish';",$id ) );
echo "</div>";
b)
$mypost = get_post( $id );
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
$content= $mypost->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
echo $content;
echo "</div>";
c)
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
echo get_post_content( $id );;
echo "</div>";
Martin Grether comments:
SUCESS with a.) and b.)
b.) also works without the "str_replace"
c.) is not working at all (AJAX page is not being loaded) also if i skip the mistyped semicolon.
Thanks.
Dbranes comments:
ok that's great news ;-)
you should also consider replacing
$id = $_POST['avia_ajax_request'];
with
$id = (int) $_POST['avia_ajax_request'];
in your code, so the input is only integers, it's a little bit more secure ;-)
Dbranes comments:
ps: I misspelled
echo get_post_content( $id );
I thought I wrote
echo get_the_content( $id );
in part c)
;-)
Martin Grether comments:
echo "<div class='entry-content'>";
echo get_the_content( $id );
echo "</div>";
Again, the linked post content. I stick with a.) .-)
Jurre Hanema answers:
I think the display-posts shortcode is messing up your loop. Try adding a call to
wp_reset_query();
After the "echo apply_filters..." and see what happens.
Martin Grether comments:
I tried that before:
echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'news_shortcode', true));
wp_reset_query();
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"> →</span>');
It does not work. You can see it here...

'Collegium Wirtemberg' has not the right content 'Weingut St. Antony' has no linked news and the right content.
Jurre Hanema comments:
In that case strange things happen. You might have to provide more code in order for someone to be able to effectively diagnose the problem.
Martin Grether comments:
it may is related to that cpt being displayed in an ajax call. for now i placed the links AFTER the content. that is not what i wanted but at last it's not wrong.
Arnav Joy answers:
try this instead
<code>
wp_reset_query();
if(have_posts()):
while(have_posts()):the_post();
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"> →</span>');
endwhile;endif;
Martin Grether comments:
No output at all.
Arnav Joy comments:
are you getting wrong output or a blanck page ,
try this
wp_reset_query();
if(have_posts()):
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;endif;
Martin Grether comments:
no output of the_content(). the rest is just fine.
your second suggestion just the same.
Arnav Joy comments:
try this
wp_reset_query();
if(have_posts()):
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo get_the_content();
endwhile;endif;
Martin Grether comments:
no, your if statement has no output.
echo get_the_content(); again brings the content of the first linked post.
Arnav Joy comments:
try this now
<?php
remove_filters('the_content');
wp_reset_query();
if(have_posts()):
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;endif;
?>
Arnav Joy comments:
please do these following things:-
1. remove your full first code of apply_filters and then test your the_content() thing to see if it gives you some output or not.
2. share code for the following function display-posts();
Martin Grether comments:
echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'news_shortcode', true));
echo do_shortcode('[display-posts tag="collegium-wirtemberg" posts_per_page="3"]');
Both have the same effect. "the_content" will not show the cpt content but content of the first post that has been pulled via shortcode.
without shortcode OR with shortcode AFTER "the_content" i seen the right cpt content.
Arnav Joy comments:
did you tried my this code
<?php
remove_filters('the_content');
wp_reset_query();
if(have_posts()):
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;endif;
?>
share code for following function
function display-posts()
Martin Grether comments:
your code above is no solution.
I added the plugin-code:
