We have seen few get_posts() function examples before. We can use same function with few arguments to get the list from custom post types.
<?php
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'custom_post_type'
));
if( $posts ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ):
setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Why to use setup_postdata() and wp_reset_postdata()?
setup_postdata() sets up the global post data. It helps in formatting custom query results when we use custom query with Template tags.
wp_reset_postdata() function restores the global $post variable to the current post in the main query. That’s why we use it after looping through a separate query.
