Nested Loops and Shortcode – WordPress

[Steven Morgan]

I’ll do my best to explain.
I want to be able to place a testimonials box anywhere in my page from the WordPress editor using shortcode – [testimonials_box]

[testimonials_box]: Queries a custom post type = testimonials.

Since it’s added in a page loop it’s a nested loop and I can’t get it to work.

Page:

Title
Content

[testimonials_box]

More Title
More Content

How would I go about doing this?
— Start Page Loop —
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

— Start Custom Post Type Loop —
$query = new WP_Query( array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonials’ ) ); while ( $query have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();

echo it

endwhile;
— End Custom Post Type Loop -;

endwhile; ?>
else : ?>
endif; ?>
–End Page Loop —

Basically, how do I query a custom post type, inside of a loop. And then when it’s done, return back to the original loop.

How are you echoing the shortcode in your PHP?
