I'm trying to fetch posts in ajax. Everything is working but It is showing only one post. Please check my code and tell me if something is wrong

function ag_get_posts() {
    global $post;
    $args = array(
      'post_type' => 'post',
      'posts_per_page' => 12,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
    );

query_posts( $args );


while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
locate_template( 'post.php', TRUE, TRUE );
 endwhile;

wp_reset_query();
    exit;
}

add_action('wp_ajax_ag_get_posts', 'ag_get_posts');

jQuery:

var data = {
    action: 'ag_get_posts',
};

jQuery.post(AjaxPath.ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
var result = $(response)
    Content.html(result);
});

If you read the documentation for locate_template you'll see the problem.

locate_template( $template_names, $load, $require_once );

$require_once (boolean) (optional) If true, the template file will be loaded with the php require_once function. If false, the template file will be loaded with the php require function. This parameter has no effect if $load is false. Default: true

PHP won't load your template more than once because you've set $require_once to true.

A simpler API function for this purpose is get_template_part:

get_template_part( 'post' );

  • But get_template_part doesn't work in functions.php. This function is made for template files only. I just set $require_once to FALSE, now its working. :) Commented Mar 29, 2014 at 18:34
  • Just checked, get_template_part(); also worked. Thanks for the tip. Commented Mar 29, 2014 at 18:44
