Need Loops WordPress

Arnav Joy answers:

For first you can use


$args = array(
'tag__not_in' => 'post_tag', //must use tag id for this field
'posts_per_page' => 3);


For second you can use


$args = array(
'category__and' => 'sports',
'tag__in' => 'post_tag', //must use tag id for this field
'posts_per_page' => 5);



for point 3 you can use 'post__not_in' => array($post_ids) , where $post_ids you can retrieve from the loop of point 1

Hi,

1) For the first loop you can fetch your posts something like this:


$term = get_term_by( 'slug', 'featured', 'post_tag' ); // get term by slug
$args = array(
'tag__not_in' => array( $term->term_id ),
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 3
);


2) For the second loop you can go with this:


$args = array(
'tag ' => 'featured',
'category_name ' => 'sports',
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 1
);


3) You can use an array to collect the post ids of first loop declaring right after the_post(); function of the first loop.

Example: $exclude_posts[] = $post->ID;

After that you can use that array to exclude posts of first loop from the third loop using the following code:


$args = array(
'post__not_in ' => $exclude_posts,
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 15
);

Fahid
