Using Event CPT in Loop

[Kyle]

I am trying to make my first custom loop for events (I want to build a table from scratch) but am having some basic problems with getting a result out of the gate. It is a pretty basic query that is just looking for events by post type, but I am not getting anything

global $post;
$getid = $posts[0]->post_author;
$q = new WP_Query( array( ‘author’ => $getid, ‘post_type’ => ‘TribeEvents::POSTTYPE’ ) );
while ( $q->have_posts() ): $q->the_post( );
the_title();
endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();

Hi Kyle,

It likely has something to do with the author argument. Is $getid populated with anything? Try echoing it to see if it has anything or taking out the author argument in the query altogether. If it works without that, then you know it’s a problem with that part. Also, for post_type try ‘post_type’=>array(TribeEvents::POSTTYPE) instead.

I hope that helps!

Sounds good Kyle! Let us know how it works out.

Thanks, I had a similar issue and
‘post_type’=>array(TribeEvents::POSTTYPE)
worked great!

Awesome Michael! I’m glad you were able to find the answer here.
