3,312 PointsStrange issue where custom post relationship will only load the latest 5 posts.
I have 2 custom post types: 1. Artists 2. Artwork. Currently I have the page single-artist.php setup so that it will load Art which is associated with a particular Artist.
My code works great except that it will only load the latest 5 Artworks unless I provide the parameter 'posts_per_page' => (an integer).
If I specify a number less than the number of Art for an Artist it will will only show that, like mentioned before if I don't have this parameter it will only show the latest 5 Art posts, and my workaround is to specify either the exact number of posts available for Art or an arbitrary number greater than the posts available.
Currently I have it set to 50 and it works great, but I still feel like this is an issue because it should load the exact number of Art posts which are available dynamically it seems.
You can see the example in action @ http://www.framesandartunlimited.com/artist/Sterling-Everett/
My code from single-artist.php is as follows:
```<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content"> <div class="wrapper">
<!-- Check if there is no content -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="entry">
<div class="featured_image">
<img src="<?php the_field( 'picture' ); ?>" />
</div>
<div class="content_column">
<h1>
<?php the_field( 'name' ); ?>
</h1>
<p><?php the_field( 'description' ); ?></p>
<?php
$artwork = get_posts( array (
'post_type' => 'artwork',
'posts_per_page' => 50,
'meta_query'=> array (
array (
'key' => 'artist',
'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
));
?>
<?php if( $artwork): ?>
<div class="gallery-wrap">
<?php foreach( $artwork as $art ): ?>
<?php
$photo = get_field( 'image', $art->ID);
$title = get_field( 'name', $art->ID );
?>
<?php
$width = $photo[ 'width' ];
$height = $photo [ 'height' ];
?>
<?php if( $width > $height ) : ?>
<div class="gallery-item">
<?php
$scale = 220 / $width;
$scaled_height = round($height * $scale);
$overall_margin = 220 - $scaled_height;
$margin = $overall_margin / 2;
if( $margin % 2 == 0 )
$margin = $margin - 0.5;
if( $scaled_height % 2 == 0 ):
$margin_top = $margin;
$margin_bottom = $margin;
else:
$margin_top = $margin;
$margin_bottom = $margin + 1;
endif;
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $art->ID ); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $photo['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $photo['alt']; ?>" width="220" style="margin-top:<?php echo $margin_top; ?>px; margin-bottom:<?php echo $margin_bottom; ?>px;"></a>
<div class="gallery-item-caption">
<p>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $art->ID ); ?>" title="caption"><?php echo $title ?></a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php elseif( $height > $width ) : ?>
<div class="gallery-item">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $art->ID ); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $photo['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $photo['alt']; ?>" height="220"></a>
<div class="gallery-item-caption">
<p>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $art->ID ); ?>" title="caption"><?php echo $title ?></a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php else: ?>
<div class="gallery-item">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $art->ID ); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $photo['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $photo['alt']; ?>" width="220" height="220"></a>
<div class="gallery-item-caption">
<p>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $art->ID ); ?>" title="caption"><?php echo $title ?></a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Check if there is no content -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>There are no posts or pages here</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div> <?php get_footer(); ?>```

2,282 PointsIf you set 'posts_per_page' to '-1-, it will load all of the posts.
