Can't get Wordpress to show content?

Hi,

I seem to be getting no-where fast with Wordpress.

I have ...

Code:

		$myposts = get_posts("numberposts=2&category_name=home"); 
		foreach($myposts as $post) : 
			the_title();
			the_content(); 		
		endforeach;

But all that shows is the titile and no content?

I've tried

Code:


		$myposts = get_posts("numberposts=2&category_name=home"); 
		foreach($myposts as $post) : 
			the_post();
			the_title();
			the_content(); 		
		endforeach;

But then nothing shows whatsoever?

I cannot get the content of the post to show, nor the featured image, all I seem to be able to output is the_title()?

Any ideas

Code:

setup_postdata($post);

OK, still the featured image doesn't show?

How do I get wordpress to show the whole damn post , correctly formated as a section?

Not sure why you have set up your own loop instead of using Wordpress' but this is what I use which shows the title, content and featured image:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

            <section>

                <div class="loop-post">

                    <?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>

                        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium', ''); ?></a>

                    <?php endif; ?>

                    <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

                    <?php the_content(); ?>

                </div>

            </section>    

        <?php endwhile; ?>

Thanks for the code.

How is that going to select specific posts in a particular category and display them in a page?

I must be missing something here

Thanks,

Sorry, I didn't look properly at what you were doing so have just provided the code to resolve your issue with content and images not appearing.

Using get_posts will only display certain information - read here:

Quote:

Access all post data
Some post-related data is not available to get_posts by default, such as post content through the_content(), or the numeric ID. This is resolved by calling an internal function setup_postdata(), with the $post array as its argument:

<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hope this helps

I was close, just needed a little nudge.

Much obliged.
