Help with second blog template

[parousia]

I’m trying to create a second blog loop using a template with the code below.

The problem I’m having is when I add this line of code to the while loop.

COPY CODE

$count++;
        if ($count == 3) { ?>
            <div class="blog-sticky-post-wrapper">
                <div class="blog-sticky-post">
                    <h3>Latest <span class="title-key-color">Photographs</span></h3>
                    <?php echo do_shortcode("[rtmedia_gallery global=\"true\" per_page=\"8\" media_title=\"false\"]"); ?>
                    <div class="homepage-btn">
                        <a href="http://www.mysite.com/photographs/"><span></span>More photographs</a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>

            <?php
                         }

Not all the posts display and a random post that I havent created shows up. This code works fine for the main blog page index file but not on this template? What am I missing?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I managed to solve this problem, it seems I needed to load the post templates in the if statement first before I added my own content as below.

COPY CODE

	while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
         $count++;
        if ($count == 2) { 
        
		if ( $blog_type != 'standard' ) :
        get_template_part( 'page-parts/post-content-' . $blog_type );
		else:  
            get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
		endif;
            
            ?>
            <div class="blog-sticky-post-wrapper">
                <div class="blog-sticky-post">
                    <h3>Latest <span class="title-key-color">Photographs</span></h3>
                    <?php echo do_shortcode("[rtmedia_gallery global=\"true\" per_page=\"8\" media_title=\"false\"]"); ?>
                    <div class="homepage-btn">
                        <a href="http://www.cultexposure.com/photographs/"><span></span>More photographs</a>                        
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            
            <?php
                          

                         } else {
		/*
		 * Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want to
		 * use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.php
		 * (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead.
		 */
		?>
		<?php 
		if ( $blog_type != 'standard' ) :
            get_template_part( 'page-parts/post-content-' . $blog_type );
		else:  
            get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
		endif;
        }
        wp_reset_postdata(); 
	endwhile;
