I currently have all the posts displayed in one column:
1
2
3
...
I'd like to achieve something similar:
1
23
4
56
...
does anyone have any ideas of how I could do this? is it possible?
thank you so much in advance :)
right now I have:
<?php if( $wp_query->current_post <= 0 ) : ?>
code for the first one column post
<?php else : ?>
the rest of the posts styled in columns
<?php endif; ?>
The solution I found for this problem was using the $wp_query->current_post of a default loop, in a filter function added to functions.php
file in the theme, when post's div is post_class()
function special_recurrent_post_class($classes) {
if( is_home() ) {
global $wp_query;
$extra_classes = array('','specific','specific','');
$classes[] = $extra_classes[$wp_query->current_post%count($extra_classes)];
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter('post_class', 'special_recurrent_post_class');
The example above restricts this to posts on the home page or posts page; otherwise, you need to change the coditional tag is_home()
to something else.
Just use a counter like this:
// before loop
$ctr = 1;
if ($ctr == 1) {
*** code for one column; ***
$ctr ++;
} else {
*** code for two column; ***
$ctr++
if ($ctr == 4) $ctr = 1 // Reset the counter, back to one column
}
