Standard Loop Overview – Part 1
Lab: The Loop – Developer’s Guide to Customizing Genesis
Video Runtime: 08:30
The standard loop is responsible for looping through the content WordPress pulled out of the database for this web page. Genesis’ standard loop fires each of the events as it builds up the HTML markup that is rendered out onto the web page. This is where the entry code is processed including the entry header, entry content, post info, post meta, and more.
In this episode, you will start walking through the standard loop in Genesis to see how and why it interacts with WordPress. You will dive into WordPress Core to discover what’s behind the function have_posts(). You will even be introduced to Object Oriented Programming (OOP).
You are focusing your attention here in the these two episodes:
| if ( have_posts() ) : | |
| do_action( 'genesis_before_while' ); | |
| while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); | |
| ... | |
| endwhile; | |
| do_action( 'genesis_after_endwhile' ); | |
| else : //* if no posts exist | |
| do_action( 'genesis_loop_else' ); | |
| endif; //* end loop |
Who needs copy/paste? Right. Writing code from scratch is fun!
