Nest WP_Querys
09 Sep 2014I googled a lot for how to nest two WP_Querys. The closest solution I could find is Loop within a loop, but it only says “// restore the global $post from the previously created backup”. After digging into the source code, I found the key method: $query->reset_postdata();.
How to nest two WP_Querys
$query1 = new WP_Query(array("post_type" => "post"));
$query2 = new WP_Query(array("post_type" => "page"));
while ($query1->have_posts()) {
$query1->the_post();
echo "Query1: " . esc_html(get_the_title()) . "<br />";
while ($query2->have_posts()) {
$query2->the_post();
echo "Query2: " . esc_html(get_the_title()) . "<br />";
}
// key method, you have to reset_postdata to get back the outer $post
$query1->reset_postdata();
// same as the previous one
echo "Query1: " . esc_html(get_the_title()) . "<br />";
echo "<hr />";
}
// reset, so that the global wp_query is restored
wp_reset_postdata();
How to reset and break out of the loop
while ($query->have_posts()) {
the_title();
// if you want to reset and break out of the loop
if (true) {
$query->rewind_posts();
$query->in_the_loop = false;
break;
}
}
