im trying to show picked categories without any duplicates, im getting array with ids only in wp query loop and not in foreach so i cannot pass it down for args ( wp query ) to exclude them... what's best solution here ?
<div class="row related-quest">
<div class="col-12">
<?php
$terms = get_the_category();
if( $terms ): ?>
<?php foreach( $terms as $term ): ?>
<?php
// Get the ID of a given category
$category_id = get_cat_ID( $term->name );
// Get the URL of this category
$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
?>
<?php
$do_not_duplicate = array();
?>
@php $args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => $term
))); @endphp
@php $query = new WP_Query( $args ); @endphp
@if ( $query->have_posts() )
@while ( $query->have_posts() )
@php $query->the_post(); @endphp
<?php
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post_id;
?>
<div <?php
$categories = get_the_category();
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
echo '" alt="' . esc_attr( $category->name ) . '" ';
}
?> class="questions">
<!-- Get the url/title of current post of this category -->
<a href="{{ the_permalink() }}" class="content-link">{{ the_title() }} </a>
</div>
@endwhile
@endif
@php wp_reset_postdata(); @endphp
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
