If your posts do meet the criteria, they will be displayed multiple times because the post is being checked on each condition each time the view is looped.
The only way to stop this is to ensure that your posts can only meet 1 criteria at a time or combine the conditionals into 1 using an OR or an AND to join them together.
However I do see that you are joining your conditionals in at least one case, so setting your conditions in a way that the post can only match one criteria will help with the duplicates.
For some reason I always tend to miss something in those docs. Is there an example that shows how to do what you are mentioning with my issue? It does show an example with the UI but I can't use that, it would break my conditionals. The 'AND' example doesn't fit my issue far as I can tell.
You've added the same exact conditional multiple times in the same post. What you can do to check which conditionals to see which ones are producing the duplicate.
I suspect this one is similar to the view that you are creating to display the information for Today's posts in a case like this you will use this here.
This is what I based my assessment on that the post in the view loop is meeting multiple conditions and since the same fields are being displayed then there will be duplicates.
You are checking the start dates against today. So If the post is equal to Today and Not today it will be displayed. Not sure of the goal trying to be achieved here.
If its a for a post that is just to display for Today then you can just check for equal to today only.
Now this is happening because the posts that produce the duplicates are meeting both conditional statement requirements.
So a review is needed to ensure that your post can only meet 1 of the requirements for each of your conditional shortcode.
For e.g these 2 conditional statement here.
<Code>
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-item-start-date) ne 'TODAY()' )"]
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-items-statuses) ne 'Complete' ) AND ( $(wpcf-item-end-date) gte 'TODAY()' )"]
[/php]
As you can see you are checking if the Start date is not equal to today, which can be a day in the past or future and you are checking the end date if it is greater than today.
From this you can see that the start date can also fall into a day that is greater than today and that particular post can also have a status that is not equal to complete, which would cause it to pass both conditional terms.
Red – New information
Yellow – Upcoming task/event
Blue – Unresolved issues (something that hasn't been marked as complete (status field)
Black – Relevant (this is a grey area and I don't know how to deal with it but let's assume it's not in the other 3? but still published)
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-item-start-date) ne 'TODAY()' )"]
This is too generic as it will display all the posts where the start day is not equal to today. Perhaps taking a look at which posts you want to display, Meaning where the Start date and end date is less that today, or The start date is Equal to today and end date is greater than today.
I'm not sure what posts you want to display with the above condition. Perhaps you can also include a status check, where you want the posts where the start date is not equal to today but you only want the posts with status Complete
It needs to be more specific so that it can target your specific posts, however you must keep in mind that whatever condition you use, you must ensure that it doesn't also allow those same posts to pass this conditional here.
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-items-statuses) ne 'Complete' ) AND ( $(wpcf-item-end-date) gte 'TODAY()' )"]
If it is a case where the posts will pass , then you will only need this condition on your view.
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-items-statuses) ne 'Complete' ) AND ( $(wpcf-item-end-date) gte 'TODAY()' )"]
As this will display all the posts where their status's aren't set to complete and their end dates are greater than today.
There has to be a more straightforward way of doing this. For example, can it look at the Post ID and if it already exists, not display it again in the same view? I'm not having any success at this.
For example, can it look at the Post ID and if it already exists, not display it again in the same view?
Checking the post ID is possible but checking if the ID already exists i'm not sure what you mean. Are you referring to checking if the post is already displayed? If so then no you are not able to do this.
As stated before the problem is that your posts can meet multiple of your required conditions so your conditional statements needs to be adjusted to be more specific.
From my previous post I mentioned that posts that meet this condition below.
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-item-start-date) ne 'TODAY()' )"]
They can also meet this condition as well.
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-items-statuses) ne 'Complete' ) AND ( $(wpcf-item-end-date) gte 'TODAY()' )"]
So the first conditional needs to be more specific so that it can target the exact posts and ensuring that whatever posts that this conditional is displaying does not meet the conditions of any of the other conditional statement.
