I have a WordPress loop on my index.php which brings in a specific template-part.
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
get_template_part( 'content' );
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'index' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
content.php has an article with the blog post information (title, featured image, etc) with specific html.
I have a custom-field, ExtraCSS, applied to each post through the content.php with values ‘post-right’ or ‘post-left’ (so I can change css of individual posts).
content.php code
<?php $extraCSS = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'ExtraCSS',true);
<article class="<?php echo $ExtraCSS?>">
…
I want to have 2 different template_parts which can get called with the loop depending on the custom-field or value applied to the post.
EX. so if the post has the ExtraCSS custom-field value ‘post-right’ applied to it, the loop will bring in
get_template_part( 'content' , 'right' );
if the post has the ExtraCSS custom-field value ‘post-left’ it will bring in
get_template_part( 'content' , 'left' );
This may not be the right way to do it, and I’m open to other suggestions, but thats the overall idea. Wanting two different post-templates for one loop There will be numerous posts that have either one, and I want them all brought in one after the other.
As you said it’s either one or the other template:
