How can I query all the posts from either the custom post type ('videos') or with a post category ('video') in a loop?
I've managed to create a query that combines the posts from a custom post type and the normal posts using the code below, but am struggling with achieving the same with a custom post type and a post category.
<?php $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( 'post_type' => array( 'post', 'videos', ) ) ); query_posts( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
Any help would be appreciated!
This is what my slides look like:
if($query->have_posts()){
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
$carousel_slide = '<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<div class="tile-image"><?php the_post_thumbnail('tile-small-thumb'); ?></div>
<div class="tile-up-arrow"></div>
<div class="videoslider">Video</div>
<div class="tile-post-title">
<h5><?php the_titlesmall('', '...', true, 55); ?></h5>
</div>
<div class="hover-display" ></div>
</a>
</li>';
$found_posts[] = $post->ID;
$slides[] = $carousel_slide;
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}
First off, I get a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on <?php the_post_thumbnail('tile-small-thumb'); ?> and a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING on <h5><?php the_titlesmall('', '...', true, 55); ?></h5>. Removing these loads the page fine, but doesn't render the links as links, but instead as <?php the_permalink(); ?>.
If I'm just doing everything wrong here please let me know and I'll go ahead and close this question.
Thanks again for you time.
