Querying custom posts and regular posts

2 Views

I want to populate the “Greenway News” box on this page with the three latest headlines from the site’s Press section AND blog.

The blog is a regular WP blog and I am currently using this code to get my results:

<?php query_posts('cat=3&posts_per_page=3'); ?>

The Press page is a custom post type. I can get the following code to work as well: 

<?php
   query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'toolkit' => '2011' ) );
   //the loop start here
   if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

Is this possible?

  1. You’re nearly there, you just need to tell WP that you want to query posts as well as your Press CPT.

    So:

    query_posts( array( 'post_type' => array('posts', 'portfolio'), ...);

    where portfolio is the name of your custom post type.

    So this is how the query should look 

    <?php

  $args = array('post_type'=>array('posts', 'portfolio'));

  query_posts($args);

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

?>
