Julio Potier answers:
Hello
What contains : $videoid ? If it's not set, the field return ''.
Do not forget that you do not ECHO anything !
And after it might be this :
1) The category name is not correct,
2) The field name is not correct,
3) The category is empty,
4) The field is empty.
Is it really a blank page or in source code from web browser you can see "<li></li>" ?
See you
Julio Potier comments:
Try this :
<?php
$count = 0;
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=politiki');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
$count++;
?>
<li>
<?php $field = get_field($videoid); echo $field; ?>
</li>
<?php if ($count % 2 == 0) { ?>
//do something like displaying an ad
<?php
}
endif;
endwhile;
?>

Nop, neither category is empty, nor the post field.
There are no <li></li> either.
Julio, i have tried it also, but not working either :-/
Julio Potier comments:
So, can i have a look to the full code, page, website ?
Give me an extra access, i'll look at it.
John Cotton answers:
You don't output anything other than HTML in the loop!
Try
<li>
<?php echo '1'; $field = get_field($videoid); ?>
</li>
and see whether you get a list of ones. If you do, then you need to decide what you actually want to appear and code to echo that.
Basilis Kanonidis comments:
Have you given a try to the loop? Probably not.
Again with your way, i am still just getting a blank page.
Html would be outputted even if blocks are empty. But something is wrong with the query it self.

Basilis Kanonidis comments:
Neither that mate :-/
I have removed the count % 2 and the query is been running correctly. Is it possible there is a wrong syntax there?
Jens Filipsson comments:
<?php
$count = 1;
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=politiki');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>
<li>
<?php $field = get_field($videoid); ?>
<?=$field?>
</li>
<?php if($count == 2) : ?>
//do something like displaying an ad
<?php endif; $count++;
endwhile;
?>
Romel Apuya answers:
have you tried adding the wp_reset_query at the end?
it might be the cause.
but ofcourse dont forget to echo the things you need.
<?php
$count = 0;
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=politiki');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
$count++;
?>
<li>
<?php $field = get_field($videoid); ?>
</li>
<?php if ($count % 2 == 0) { ?>
//do something like displaying an ad
<?php
}
endif;
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>
Abdessamad Idrissi answers:
check this code
<?php
$args = array(
'category_name' => 'politiki'
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $query ->have_posts() ) {
while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = get_the_ID();
$count++;
?>
<li><?php $field = get_field($videoid); ?></li>
<?php
if ($count % 2 == 0) {
?>
//do something like displaying an ad
<?php
}
endwhile;
} else
{
echo 'Nothing found!';
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
One thing to check is category name must be the slug for that category not its name!
Luis Abarca answers:
Everything looks right, just check if theres published posts on the category politiki.
Try this one:
<?php
$count = 0;
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=politiki');
?>
<?php if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
$count++;
?>
<li><?php echo $field = get_field($videoid) ?></li>
<?php if ( $count % 2 == 0 ) : ?>
//do something like displaying an ad
<?php endif ?>
<?php endwhile ?>
<?php endif ?>
