Accessing simple-fields in get_posts loop

    I can access the simple-fields values via:

    %p.event-description= simple_fields_value(‘test’)

    in the main have_posts() loop, however when I’m using:

    – $recent_events = get_posts(…)

    The simple_fields_value(‘test’) does not retrieve my simple fields value. Any ideas how to get this to work in my secondary loop?

    Thanks for looking!

    Depending on the way you loop, this is one solution:

    foreach ($recent_events as $one_event) {

  $value = simple_fields_value('test', $one_event->ID);

}

    Ah, thank you. Specifying the ID explicitly helps.

    Yes, but as I said, it all depends on how you do the loop. If you did the loop using wp_query() then you would not have to use the id explicitly. Then your first try would work, something like:

    $custom_query = new wp_query($query_args);
while($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();
    $value = simple_fields_value('test');
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

    Excellent, thanks for the explanation. I’m new to WP so I’m still learning the nuances of defining multiple loops and such. A new instance of WP_Query seems reasonable.
