Query Loop to display Both Pages and Posts
5 replies · Started by Ian on November 4, 2022
We have a site where content was created in a post AND pages. I can use a category or tag to filter the content but I noticed Query Loop does not have a way to display both posts and pages in the same loop? Is there a way to accomplish this if I can tag each post + page with a specific Category?
Hi Ian,
Add a class to the Grid block nested in the query loop block, eg. my-class-name, then add this snippet:
add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
if ( ! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && strpos( $attributes['className'], 'my-class-name' ) !== false ) {
$query_args['post_type'] = array('page', 'post');
}
return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );Thank you Ying! I can see both Pages and Posts in the loops result now. I am not able to sort by the ACF custom field title. Would you mind taking a look? Login info provided.
Hi there,
orderby custom fields is not something the REST API supports, so until we build our own function into GB Pro it too requires a filter. But you can combine it with Yings args filter into one snipept:
add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
// Check your logic to apply the filtering only to specific loop
if (
! empty( $attributes['className'] ) &&
strpos( $attributes['className'], 'my-class-name' ) !== false
) {
// Merge the current $query_args which contains arguments defined in the editor with your ordering arguments
return array_merge( $query_args, array(
'post_type' => array('page', 'post'),
'meta_key' => 'your_custom_field_key',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'desc',
) );
}
return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );Thank you Ying and David! I tweaked orderby and this seem to work:
/** query loop to display pages and posts */
add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
// Check your logic to apply the filtering only to specific loop
if (
! empty( $attributes['className'] ) &&
strpos( $attributes['className'], 'my-class-name' ) !== false
) {
// Merge the current $query_args which contains arguments defined in the editor with your ordering arguments
return array_merge( $query_args, array(
'post_type' => array('page', 'post'),
'meta_key' => 'country_name',
'orderby' => 'country_name',
'order' => 'asc',
) );
}
return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );Glad to hear that. And thanks for sharing your final code!
