Yes you are correct, properties is a CPT and I have a loop to display them on my page.

Apologies, I should have posted teh full page code first but here go's ....


<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('left'); ?>

<div class="main-other left">
<h3>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h3>
<?php
$by_rooms= esc_url(add_query_arg(array('meta_key'=>'_leaf_no_of_bedrooms','orderby'=>'meta_value_num')));
$by_price = esc_url(add_query_arg(array('meta_key'=>'_leaf_property_cost','orderby'=>'meta_value_num')));
$by_date = esc_url(add_query_arg(array('meta_key'=>false,'orderby'=>'date')));
?>

<ul>
<li> <a href="<?php echo $by_price;?>">Order by price</a></li>
<li> <a href="<?php echo $by_rooms;?>">Order by rooms</a></li>
<li> <a href="<?php echo $by_date;?>">Order by date</a></li>
</ul>


<?php

$args = array(
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'leaf_properties',
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
$terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, 'property_type' );
foreach ($terms as $term);
echo '<div class="property-box cf"><a href="'.get_permalink().'">' .get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'property-overview-thumb', $img_attr). '</a><p><span>&pound;'.get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_leaf_property_cost', true ).'&nbsp;' .get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_leaf_cost_duration', true ).'</span></p><p>'.get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_leaf_no_of_bedrooms', true ). ' bedroom ' . $term->name . ' to rent</p><p>' .get_the_title(). '</p><p>Added To Site ' .get_the_date('F j, Y'). '</p><p>' .get_the_excerpt(). '</p></div>';
endwhile;

// Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi,

So here is where you should amend your code:


$args = array(
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'leaf_properties',
);
