Sometimes it’s necessary to further customize archived data into sortable sections (organized by date, like below, or category), so it’s easier for visitors to find what they’re looking for at-a-glance.
This example of an annual-delimited loop can help differentiate between content over a lengthy period of time:
<?php $args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'production',
'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php
$year = get_the_date('Y', '', '', FALSE);
if ($year !== $year_check) {
echo "<h2 class='year'>" . $year . "</h2>";
}
$year_check = $year;
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><div class="production_wrap">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
</div></a><!-- end .post-wrap -->
<?php endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); ?>Sourced here.
