I want to create a loop based on custom post types and taxonomies. But i don't really understand the WP_query and loop.

I have a custom post type called "hanstholm" with a custom taxonomy called "kategori". In that i have "tilbud" and several others. I've tried to create a loop with this:

<?php $query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'Hanstholm',          // name of post type.
'tax_query' => array(
    array(
        'taxonomy' => 'kategori',   // taxonomy name
        'field' => 'kategori',           // term_id, slug or name
        'terms' => 'tilbud',                  // term id, term slug or term name
    )
) ) );
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
?>

What am i doing wrong here? It displays nothing.

• custom-post-types
• wp-query

• first your post type is capitalized. Are you sure that's how it was created? Secondly, try 'field' => 'slug' instead of 'field' => 'kategori' – rudtek Commented Jan 29, 2020 at 17:12

Maybe the hanstholm in $args without the uppercase ?

Also a problem with tax_query

Don't forget to use var_dump($query) for see what hapening.

<?php $query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'hanstholm',          // name of post type.
'tax_query' => array(
    array(
        'taxonomy' => 'kategori',   // taxonomy name
        'field' => 'name',           // term_id, slug or name
        'terms' => 'tilbud',                  // term id, term slug or term name
    )
) ) );
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
?>
