Blog posts on page template… how to?

Hi all,

I’ve got a bit of a puzzle: I’m trying to get blog posts to display below the content on a WP page assigned to a custom template. The problem is that the code to fetch the blog posts simply fetches the page content a second time — if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post()

Can anyone suggest a way I can get both to display?

Whenever you want to have multiple loops on a page, you’ll have to define your own WP_Query. Here’s a good tutorial: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/04/13/define-your-own-wordpress-loop-using-wp_query/

It sounds like the key in your case will be ‘post_type=post’.

See this codex article https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts for info on what arguments you can feed to WP_Query (they are the same as query_posts() )

Bingo! A straight copy/paste of the given example worked like a charm.

A bit of customization and voilà… I’m a happy camper!

Thanks
