Get post id within comments loop

Question

I have a custom comments loop on my author.php page. I am trying to get the post id so that I can echo the permalink for the post that the comment belongs to. Also so I can echo some post meta custom fields.

This is what my loop looks like now -

<?php
$object = get_queried_object();
$authorID = get_queried_object()->ID;
$author_email = get_the_author_meta( 'user_email', $authorID );
$postid = get_queried_object()->post->ID;
$args = array(
    'user_id' => $authorID,
    'post_id' => $postid,
); 

// The Query
$comments_query = new WP_Comment_Query;
$comments = $comments_query->query( $args );

// Comment Loop
if ( $comments ) {
    foreach ( $comments as $comment ) { ?>

I tried place a normal post loop within this but things got weird. The part I need the post meta for is this --

<div class="full-divs">
    <strong>
        <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">
            View 
            <?php 
                $property_address = get_post_meta( 
                    get_the_ID(),
                    'imic_property_site_address',
                    true
                ); 
                echo $property_address; 
            ?>
         </a>
     </strong>
 </div>

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Note that it might be easier to use get_comments() here, since it's defined as:

function get_comments( $args = '' ) {
    $query = new WP_Comment_Query;
    return $query->query( $args );
}

If you need the comment url, within your foreach comment loop, you can use:

$comment_url =  esc_url( get_comment_link( $comment ) );

You can also get the post id from the $comment object with:

$post_id = $comment->comment_post_ID;

then you can use that to retrieve the custom post meta:

$property_address = get_post_meta( $post_id ,'imic_property_site_address',true);

To get the corresponding post permalink

$post_url = esc_url( get_permalink( $post_id ) );

Answer 2

There is no $post property in get_queried_object(). get_queried_object() returns info about the current author when viewing the author archive page. You can do a var_dump() to check what get_queried_object() return

var_dump( get_queried_object() );

This is why your code fails. I am really not sure what you need to achieve here, but any post info can be accessed by using the main query object

• $wp_query->posts returns an array of post objects. This is the posts that will be displayed by the loop

• $wp_query->post returns the first post object of the loop, the same post object as $post before the loop

I probably think this is what you are after
