I’m using the following code to acquire all the child categories of a category and displaying the child posts of the child categories.
<?php
$cats = get_categories( 'child_of='.get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
foreach ( $cats as $cat ) :
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 3, // max number of post per category
'category__in' => array( $cat->term_id )
);
$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) :
echo '<h3>'.$cat->name.'</h3>';
?>
<?php while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<br />
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
No Posts for <?php echo $cat->name; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
and i want to acquire this output.
Cat Child 1
-Post1 Child 1
-Post2 Child 1
-Post3 Child 1
-So on... .
Cat Child 2
-Post1 Child 2
-Post2 Child 2
-Post3 Child 2
-So on... .
But instead of that, both the child categories are being repeated over and overagain. Can anybody tell me what the problem is? This is the output I have now.
Cat Child 1
-Post1 Child 1
-Post2 Child 1
-Post3 Child 1
-So on... .
Cat Child 2
-Post1 Child 2
-Post2 Child 2
-Post3 Child 2
-So on... .
Cat Child 1
-Post1 Child 1
-Post2 Child 1
-Post3 Child 1
-So on... .
Cat Child 2
-Post1 Child 2
-Post2 Child 2
-Post3 Child 2
-So on... .
Cat Child 1
-Post1 Child 1
-Post2 Child 1
-Post3 Child 1
-So on... .
Cat Child 2
-Post1 Child 2
-Post2 Child 2
-Post3 Child 2
-So on... .
until it loops 9 times and stops. what is the problem?
use
wp_reset_query()
; before endforeach for reset WP_Query.
