    hey, so I’m a little confused, I’ve been searching for hours, I’ve made a custom post type for a portfolio section, and I have posts within it called projects, I want to pull the post title/featured image and category its under from the featured category, so the posts will have 2 categories, the featured being the option that displays them on a certain page, and another for a certain part of my design

    its an image (which i want to pull the featured from)
    with a mouse overlay that will show the Project title, and the category

    so like

    Web Company – title
    Development – category (also in the featured but don’t want featured being displayed

    i’ve found this code on the site, and was wondering how i could do it, the slug is project so example

    localhost/project/web-company
    also i want either 3 of these to loop or 6 if possible.

    <?php
query_posts('cat=7&posts_per_page=3');
if(have_posts()) :
  while(have_posts()) :
    the_post();
    ?>
    <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
      <h2><?php permalink(); ?></h2>
      <div class="entry">
      <?php
      $img = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Featured Thumbnail', true);
      ?><img src="<?php echo $img; ?>"/><?php
      the_content('Read More');
      ?>
      </div>
    </div>
    <?php
  endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
?>

    Hi, I would probably start with something g like this;

    <?php
$type = 'projects';
$args=array(
  'post_type' => $type,
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1

$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

    <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
      <h2><?php permalink(); ?></h2>
      <div class="entry">
      <?php
      $img = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Featured Thumbnail', true);
      ?><img src="<?php echo $img; ?>"/><?php
      the_content('Read More');
      ?>
      </div>
    </div>
    <?php
  endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>

    Oops forgot you wanted only 3 or 6 to display;

    <?php
$type = 'projects';
$args=array(
'post_type' => $type,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 3

$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php permalink(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php
$img = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Featured Thumbnail', true);
?><img src="<?php echo $img; ?>"/><?php
the_content('Read More');
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>

    thank you for your help,

    i broke it down to this

    <?php
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'project',
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'posts_per_page' => 3 );

    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );

    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
        the_title();
        the_category();

    endwhile;

?>

    i dont want the category to be a link, and also i want to know how to make a link out of each post

    Hi,

    Wouldn’t this work?

    <?php
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'project',
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'posts_per_page' => 3 );

    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );

    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
        the_title();
        the_category(', ');

    endwhile;

?>

    Thank you.

    no, thank you!

    the change in the

    the_category();

    was perfect.

    Just wondering, do you know the function to obtain the link of each post to add into the loop?

    cant figure it out still searching for it, i found the featured image part i was looking for =)

    Hi,

    Normally you’d use permalink … So the_permalink();

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    the solution for category was this

    $categories = get_the_category();

if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
    echo esc_html( $categories[0]->name );
}
