I need to create a custom loop for a custom post type archive template, that is as similar to this page as possible (www.manta.com/totd) using the Genesis framework.

Here is a paste of what I have, which is not working.

http://pastebin.com/g1EK5f6M

As well as the current archive template http://pastebin.com/A6UufNMu which produces this: m.angiemeekerdesigns.com/totd

Can someone help me learn why my current code isn't working?

Update: After working on it some, I've come to the paste below - it's working about 80% of what I need, except that the one post from the first loop at the top (feature) is showing the content that the posts from the second loop below should be showing, and vice versa.

Here's a link to page on the site now: http://m.angiemeekerdesigns.com/totd

and the code as far as I've gotten.

<?php

 add_action('genesis_entry_content','genesis_do_post_title', 2);

 //* Removes Continue Reading from the echoed excerpt
 function sbt_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return 'aaa';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'sbt_auto_excerpt_more', 20 );

function sbt_custom_excerpt_more( $output ) {return preg_replace('/<a[^>]+>Continue reading.*?<\/a>/i','',$output);
}
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'sbt_custom_excerpt_more', 20 );


 //* Add Tip of the Day body class to the head
add_filter( 'body_class', 'add_tiparchives_body_class' );
function add_tiparchives_body_class( $classes ) {
   $classes[] = 'tiparchives-post-type-archive-{tipoftheday}';
   return $classes;
}

 // Return Category and Tip of the Day on Single Posts
add_action ( 'genesis_before_content', 'show_totd', 9 );
function show_totd() {
    echo '<div class="totd-cats-title">Tip of the Day</div>';
} 
  // Remove Post Author

  • Exactly what isn't working?

  • I'm not sure - the function_manta_tips_pre () and function manta_tips_teaser_pre() are correct. I think it's the querys wrapping those functions that is incorrect, but I'm not sure why or where. Commented Feb 4, 2014 at 2:57
  • I have gotten it about 80% of where I need to go! :-) pastebin.com/Wx1f4wmL produces this m.angiemeekerdesigns.com/totd but for some reason, that's actually backwards. The current post (feature) should have the tags/social, the previous (teasers) shouldn't. Commented Feb 4, 2014 at 3:54
  • Please post relevant code here. If (when) that pastebin expires the question becomes unintelligible.

  • Thanks @s_ha_dum - I added the latest paste to the original post. Is that the best place for it? Commented Feb 4, 2014 at 5:05

This is what worked. You can see the results at m.angiemeekerdesigns.com/totd. I am still working on getting the lower posts to have fewer words in their excerpts, and to have slightly different styling, but I think that's a different question than this one.
