1. The content is always the same because the_content(); must be inside while loop. 2. In the content.php file give an if statement which checks if current post is the latest one (or simply if next_post_link() == ''). If it does, do another WP_Query with the same arguments but set 'order'=>'ASC'. This will return you one-element array with the very first post. Then just take its permalink and echo it as a href attribute in <a> tag. Hope you know what I mean

| Oct 27, 2016 at 14:23 | comment | added | sizer | Two problems. 1. The content text is always the same on every post. 2. The cycling is not complete. It will not link back to the latest post, to create an endless post cycle. S Edit: I used <?php echo get_permalink( get_adjacent_post( false, '', true ) ); ?> for next post link url. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 14:21 | comment | added | sizer | Thanks again Sebastian! I wrote all the code to index.php, this is how it looks. <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( get_adjacent_post( false, '', true ) ); ?>"> <span class="next"></span> <div class="featured-image" style="background-image: url('<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() ); ?>')"></div> </a> <div class="content"> <?php $query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => '1', 'order' => 'DESC', 'orderby' => 'date' ) ); while($query->have_posts()){ $query->the_post(); } ?> <?php the_content(); ?> </div> | |

I see what you want to achieve. Try doing this: In your main php file (I guess it's index.php) do something similar to this: <?php $query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => '1', 'order' => 'DESC', 'orderby' => 'date' ) ); while($query->have_posts()){ $query->the_post(); } ?> <div><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div> <div class="content"><?php the_content(); ?></div> next_post_link(); <?php } ?> Then in your content.php file write this: <?php the_content(); next_post_link(); ?> I hope you know what I mean. It's quite complicated but it works for me

| Oct 27, 2016 at 11:15 | comment | added | sizer | Thanks Sebastian, but no help! What I need is one post (feature image+content text) per page. When you click on feature image for example, then next post loads per page. When the last post (by adding date) appears, clicking on feature image loads the first post again. One post per page. Infinite cycle of posts by adding date, starting with the latest post added. Hopefully that explains my needs! S | |
