I’m running a multi site and I want to pull post with certain categories from two blogs. Therefore I am running a loop for each of the blog to pull the posts as one of the category is in blog 1 while the other category is in blog 2.
<?php $value = array(); ?>
<?php
// Get the values from $_POST
$original_blog_id = get_current_blog_id(); // get current blog
$bids = array(1,2); // all the blog_id's to loop through EDIT
foreach($bids as $bid):
switch_to_blog($bid);
$args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'taxonomy' => 'Music',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('artist', 'club')
),
)
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php $postids = array(); ?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
<?php while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $postids[]=get_the_ID(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php $value[] = $postids; ?>
<?php
} else {
// no posts found
echo 'Nothing found.';
}
?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($value));
$list = iterator_to_array($it,false);
$posts = new WP_Query(array(
'post__in' => $list,
'post_type' => 'post',
));
?>
<?php
foreach ($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<?php echo the_title(); ?>
<?php
}
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php switch_to_blog($original_blog_id); ?>
The reason why I’m getting the IDs
inside an array:
<?php $postids[]=get_the_ID(); ?>
because I want to fetch random post’s. If at this point instead of the above statement I get the title and content of the posts then it will show in sequential order. Something like this:
BLOG1: POST1,POST2, POST : BLOG2: POST1, POST2, POST3
But I want Posts in random order like this:
BLOG1: POST1, BLOG2: POST3, BLOG1: POST2, BLOG2: POST1: BLOG2: POST2
So everything is working fine, I am able to get the posts IDs
even outside the foreach loop but the problem is:
I am not able to get post content from those IDs
. It only gives me posts from blog 2 because the current blog is 2. But it doesn’t show anything from blog1 even though the postID
is in the list
array.
Can anyone please help?
The solution can be the following, just add the code into your themes
footer.php
files, although this can be put anywhere within your WordPress theme, example:
