i wrote a widget and i want to use category template which is located in "themename"/template-parts/content.php".

<?php
// Category.php  
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
get_template_part( 'content', '' );
endwhile;
?>

In my widget i used $myposts=get_posts(); and i want to use this data with the content.php template for sure. But i dont know what is the proper way to pass this data.

I tried this but it didnt work.

<?php 
// Widget.php
$myposts = get_posts($another_array);
foreach($myposts as $post) {  
include(locate_template('template-parts/content.php')); 
}
?>

And my template file.

Post: <?php the_title(); ?>
Comment Count: <?php echo get_comments_number(); ?>
Url: <?php echo get_permalink(); ?>

I tried like this too. But still not working.

Post: <?php the_title($post->ID); ?>
Comment Count: <?php echo get_comments_number($post->ID); ?>
Url: <?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>

You need to setup postdata in order to set the $post global in order to make template tags available for this to work

foreach ( $myposts as $post ) {
    setup_postdata( $post );

        get_template_part( 'content' );

}
wp_reset_postdata();

  • global $post; $gpost=$post; [YOUR CODE] $post=$gpost; If i make it like that. Is it going to be the proper way to do it right? I mean i dont want to do any mistakes about it.

  • Sorry for only replying now. The code in my answer should be the only code needed, the code you suggested would be unnecessary ;-) May 21, 2016 at 8:14
