additional loop within event-single | WordPress.org

Hi, I’m trying to use multiple loops within event-single.php with no luck.

Essentially what I need to do is have the standard loop that pulls any single event in, but then use an if statement as follows:

if (is-particular-event-ID) {
add a second loop to pull in a list from another custom post type (with a specific tag)
}

Forgive the complete layman terms here, I’ve attempted this so far without the conditional if statement, just to try and output the second loop using a custom wp_query after the main loop has ended but I can’t even get that working.

I realise this isn’t 100% specific to Event Organiser but any help from anyone would be massively appreciated!

Thanks.

You can do:
```
if ( 123 == get_the_iD() ) {
    $my_secondary_loop = new WP_Query(...);
    if( $my_secondary_loop->have_posts() ):
        while( $my_secondary_loop->have_posts() ): $my_secondary_loop->the_post();
            //The secondary loop
        endwhile;
    endif;
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
```
See http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/50762/9364 for more details and https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query for details on constructing your query.

Hope that helps!
