I have two separated PHP files in which some similar functions and loops of Wordpress are used. They are tested working very well.
However, one block of PHP codes in a file is used on Sidebar of the Single page, and another one is used at the bottom of the Single page of my WP website.
The first block of PHP codes does work showing custom posts for the Sidebar, but the second block at the bottom of the Single page does not show anything posts.
What are the common issues which cause one block of PHP codes not working.
Here is the first block:
{var $terms = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_id(), 'my_customPostType', array( 'parent' => $category_id ) )} {* Get array of parent categories IDs based on the current post ID *}
{foreach $terms as $term}
{if ($term->term_id == 2250) or ($term->term_id == 508) or ($term->term_id == 2502) or ($term->term_id == 501)}
{var $parent_cat_id = $term->term_id}
<?php break; // Exit foreach Loop if its Property or Cars to make sure if a current post has multiple categories one of which is Property or Cars, custom posts under either will be displayed ?>
{/if}
{if ($term->term_id == 3272) or ($term->term_id == 3230) or ($term->term_id == 2754) or ($term->term_id == 2890) or
($term->term_id == 2904) or ($term->term_id == 2914) or ($term->term_id == 2928) or ($term->term_id == 2938)
}
{var $parent_cat_ids = array(2250, 508, 3272, 3230, 2754, 2890, 2904, 2914, 4150)}
{var $parent_cat_id = $parent_cat_ids[array_rand($parent_cat_ids, 1)]} {* Get a random parent category ID *}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{if ($parent_cat_id == 2250) or ($parent_cat_id == 2502)} {* Property: display posts from Property *}
{includePart customposts/boxed-items-from-all-child-properties-for-rightsidebar-singlepost-4items}

The most common issue that would cause one snippet not to work is if you're doing anything with queries. WP has functions such as wp_reset_query() to run after a custom query to ensure that after you're done using the results of a custom query, you go back to the original one, which the rest of the page expects.
