Display both standard posts in a specific category along with a custom post type in a single loop?

1 Views

I’m building a content slider that needs to show posts from a custom post type called “Features,” and also show standard blog posts that are assigned to a “Featured” category. I’d like to do this within a single loop. Can anyone help me put together the query that could handle this?

  1. $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

query_posts( array(
        'post_type' => array(
                    'post',
                    'features',

                ),
'category_name' => 'Featured',
                'paged' => $paged )

            );

// have some posts?
if (have_posts()) :
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();

        // the loop

    endwhile;
endif;
?>

  2. Fix paging issues:

    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

    Query to add in custom post types:

    query_posts( array(
        'post_type' => array(
                    'post',
                    'custom_post_type_name'
                ),
                'paged' => $paged ) 
            );

    Start the main loop

    if (have_posts()) :
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();

            //Post content

    endwhile;
endif;
?>
