Thesis Framework and Custom Post Types

1. Here is the final working code. Thanks to the help from of a local WP Guru friend and maiorano84. We didn’t figure out the cause, but we did fine a solution.

   function press_releases_page() {
   if (is_page('press-releases') || is_page('583')) { ?>
   
   <div id="content">
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       <div class="post_box">
       <div class="headline_area"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1></div>
       <div class="format_text">
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       <?php endif ?>
   
       <?php
           $original_query = $wp_query;
           $wp_query = null;
   
           $args = array (
           'post_type' => 'press-release',
           'post_status' => 'publish',
           'posts_per_page' => -1,
           'orderby' => 'date',
           'order' => 'DESC'
           );
           $wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
       ?>
   
       <div id="press-releases">
           <?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
           <?php $results = get_post_custom(); ?>
           <div id="press-wrapper">
               <div id="press-image"><?php echo wp_get_attachment_image($results['release_image'][0] ); ?></div><!-- end press-image div -->
               <div id="press-information">
                   <p class="press-date"><?php echo $results['release_date'][0] ?></p> 
                   <p class="press-link"><a href="<?php echo $results['release_link'][0] ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $results['release_title'][0] ?></a></p>
                   <p class="press-author"><?php echo $results['release_author'][0] ?></p>
               </div><!-- end press-information div -->
               <div style="clear:both;"></div>
           </div><!-- end press-wrapper div -->
           <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       </div><!-- end press-releases div -->
       </div>
       </div>
       </div><!-- end content -->
       <?php echo thesis_sidebars(); ?>
   <?php } }
   
   remove_action('thesis_hook_custom_template', 'thesis_custom_template_sample');
   add_action('thesis_hook_custom_template', 'press_releases_page');

2. Try changing this:

   <div id="press-releases">
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   <div id="press-wrapper">
   

   To this:

   <div id="press-releases">
   <?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
   <div id="press-wrapper">
   

   UPDATE:

   The only other thing I can see is that you’re not resetting your post data, and that the $wp_query variable is actually a WordPress Global. Try using the reset functions and changing your WP_Query instance name like this:

   <?php
       wp_reset_query();
       wp_reset_postdata();
   
       $args = array (
       'post_type' => 'press-release',
       'post_status' => 'publish',
       'posts_per_page' => -1,
       'orderby' => 'date',
       'order' => 'DESC'
       );
       $query = new WP_Query($args);
       ?>
   <div id="press-releases">
       <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
   

   UPDATE 2:

   Now that you have your wrappers being written to your document, you need to normalize your information. Try to avoid using Metadata instead of normal post attributes. I imagine your metadata ‘release_image’ is a link to an image somewhere on your server:

   <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
   ?>
       <div id="press-wrapper">
           <div id="press-image">
               <img src="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'release_image', true); ?>" />
           </div><!-- end press-image div -->
           <div id="press-information">
               <p class="press-date"><?php echo the_date(); ?></p>
               <p class="press-link"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
               <p class="press-author"><?php the_author(); ?></p>
           </div><!-- end press-information div -->
           <div style="clear:both;"></div>
       </div><!-- end press-wrapper div -->
       <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
