The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Using Switch_to_blog and only first post has correct permalink (4 posts)

    I am currently using WPMU2.8.4a and I have created an aggregation page template that is currently used by the default root domain as its 'static' page upon loading.

    SO you visit http://www.bleah.com and you get the aggro page. Inside this page template I am pulling 5 posts from each of my 18 sub-sites (blogs within WPMU same install).

    I was using the following code before without fail, in terms of it properly pulling the posts. However, now for whatever reason it only pulls the first post and permalink, then for every additional post it outputs the correct title, but doesn't pull the permalink:

    <?php
    switch_to_blog(#BLOG_ID);
    $args=array(
      'showposts'=>5,
      );
    $new_loop = new WP_Query($args);
    	query_posts('');
    	start_wp();
    	if($new_loop->have_posts()) {
    		while($new_loop->have_posts()) {
    			$new_loop->the_post(); ?>
    			                            <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><span class="date"><?php the_time('m/j/Y'); ?></span> - <?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    
    <?php } } restore_current_blog(); ?>

    The code you have there works perfectly for me, WPMU2.8.4a. Tried it on a couple blogs, a couple themes, all's well. Copied and pasted 18 times with 18 new blog ids and all was as expected(18 new WP_Query creates a lot of queries on a landing page IMHO)

    Now, I did get some expected results on one theme using multiple loops when I had another new WP_Query with a date limiting add_filter('posts_where'... plugin.

    Does your code above screw up on only one template or on only one blog? Do you have any other plugins, functions, or another new WP_Query, that collides?
