    <p>Looks like your <code>$post</code> variable isn't being assigned with the current post information through the loop. As far as I can tell, you could try either one of these ways:</p> <h2>1) Global <code>$post</code></h2> <p>The <code>$post</code> variable is within your <code>featured()</code> <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php" rel="nofollow">function scope</a>. Therefore, when you run your loop, it is not being recognized as the <code>global $post</code> variable, which is the one WordPress fills with post information through the loop. Simply declare <code>$post</code> as a <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php#language.variables.scope.global" rel="nofollow"><code>global</code></a> variable at the beginning of your function scope and you should be able to gather post information:</p> <pre><code>function featured() { global $post; // ... all your function code, $post-&gt;ID should work now } </code></pre> <h2>or 2) Use <code>get_the_ID()</code></h2> <p>You could replace <code>$post-&gt;ID</code> for WP's native function <code>get_the_ID()</code>. This is just about the same as the previous solution, as this function will retrieve the <code>ID</code> property from the global <code>$post</code> object automatically. I would take this as the best solution, as you don't have to worry about scope whenever using post functions (<code>get_the_ID()</code>, <code>get_the_title()</code>, etc) as long as the <code>$post</code> object is populated (after <code>the_post()</code> is called).</p> <p>So you could replace this line:</p> <pre><code>$do_not_duplicate = $post-&gt;ID; </code></pre> <p>for</p> <pre><code>$do_not_duplicate = get_the_ID(); </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>if ($post-&gt;ID == $do_not_duplicate) continue; </code></pre> <p>for</p> <pre><code>if (get_the_ID() == $do_not_duplicate) continue; </code></pre> <hr> <p>Try either one of these solutions, I bet both should work for you. Actually, the example you took from codex page works just fine, the problem is that you applied it inside a local <code>function</code>. This way your <code>$post</code> variable is a local (<a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php" rel="nofollow">function scope</a>) variable, and not a <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php#language.variables.scope.global" rel="nofollow"><code>global</code></a> one.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
