[Plugin: Custom Post Widget] featured image support

I did a bit more work – it seems like this line is not being triggered:

if ('content_block' == get_post_type()) {

Printing the $post array shows it is holding the main page and not the custom post. ie: [post_type] => page.

Is my theme behaving incorrectly or am I missing something?

Thanks

Yes – although I got it from the readme.txt file.

I’m assuming it’s perhaps an issue with the loop – the function seems to be getting the $posts object from the previous widget.

Thanks for replying.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

I’m still using your great plugin for other things, but for this one-off (a promo block on the home page) I created a custom post type called homepromo and wrote a short include to call it. An additional complication that may have caused another issue with your function is that I needed the image in the CSS background.

This is the content of my include file in case it is of use to anyone else – themename-homepromo.php:

<?php if( is_front_page() ) {  ?>

	<?php
	$args = array( 'post_type' => 'homepromo' , 'posts_per_page' => 1  );
	$homepromoloop = new WP_Query( $args );
	?>

	<?php if ( $homepromoloop->have_posts() ) { ?>

		<?php while ( $homepromoloop ->have_posts() ) : $homepromoloop ->the_post(); ?>

			<?php
			$featured_image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID );
			$imgArray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($featured_image_id,'home_promo');
			$imgsrc = $imgArray[0];
			?>		

			<div id="promo" style="background-image:url(<?php echo($imgsrc); ?>);">
<div id="promotext">
					<div id="promotextwrapper">
						<?php // the_title() NOT USED; ?>
						<?php the_content(); ?>
					</div><!-- #promotextwrapper -->
				</div><!-- #promotext -->
			</div><!-- #promo -->

		<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php } else echo(''); ?>

<?php } // end is front page ?>

I called it into the index.php with:

<?php get_template_part( "themename", "homepromo" ) ?>
