How to Display Posts From Category Within a Custom Taxonomy?

Question

I am trying to listing posts from a single category of my custom taxonomy.

I have created a custom post type called "news" and a custom taxonomy called "instituteName".

I then created a number of categories using the "instituteName" taxonomy.

I would now like to display the posts from only a single category. e.g. i have created a category "businessSchool" underneath "instituteName" taxonomy. Now I want to display the four latest post the "businessSchool" category only.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

@Krzysiek answer above didn't work because have_posts is a method not a property. It should be have_posts() not have_posts. Here's the corrected code:

$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type'=>'news',
    'posts_per_page'=>4,
    'tax_query'=>array(
        array(
            'taxonomy'=>'instituteName',
            'field'=>'slug',
            'terms'=>'businessschool'  // change to real slug
        )
     )
) );

while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    $my_query->the_post();
    // display post
}

You can do it using custom WP_Query:

$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type'=>'news',
    'posts_per_page'=>4,
    'tax_query'=>array(
        array(
            'taxonomy'=>'instituteName',
            'field'=>'slug',
            'terms'=>'businessschool'  // change to real slug
        )
     )
) );

while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    $my_query->the_post();
    // display post
}

<?php 
  $args = array( 
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'product_cat' => 'meditations-intensives', 
    'order' => 'DESC' );
  $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
  while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); global $product; 
  endwhile;?>
