I am trying to do something very simple here : I am trying to exclude last post from a loop in my theme's index.php file.
Everything is working fine except when I click on any links in the page, the browser only shows the homepage.
Here's the code for my loop :
<?php query_posts('offset=1'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title() ?>
</a>
</h2>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thanks!

I have created a sidebar.php-file with the code;
<section class="sidomeny"><p class="Senastenytt2"><?php get_search_form();?></p></section><!--Slut på sidomeny-->
<div id="nyhet3">
<?php
query_posts('category = all');
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php the_post(); ?>
<p class="datum2"><?php the_time('Y-m-d'); ?></p>
<p class="Nyhetsrubrik3"><a style="orange"; href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p class="textnyhet2"></p>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>
</div><!--Slut på Nyhet3-->
And now I would like to add the function that if you press the sidebar news section, the "textnyhet2" section will get updated with the news you clicked on. That is how it's working now.
But the problem is that the sidebar vanished whenever you click on one of those "latest news" links. So what I need help with is to edit the sidebar.php-file so the "latest news" function with links is still there so you don't have to go back one page whenever you would like to read about another post.
Im not sure how to do this. If it's php involved or if you can do it by simple visiting the posts/pages section in wordpress.
Would be grateful if anyone could help me. If I have forgotten any necassary information please tell me and I will the post.
Thanks!
<?php
get_header();
?>
<section class="textinnehall">
<?php
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) :

</section>
<section class="sidomeny">
<?php
get_sidebar(); ?>
</section>
<?php
get_footer();

This is my page.php file. Don't know if it will be to any help. But the sidebar is already active.
May be the sidebar is not called in your single page.
you need to have the same design in your themes single.php page(As per twenty ten theme standard).
<p class="Nyhetsrubrik3"><a style="orange"; href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
The href <?php the_permalink() ?> takes the post to single page for full view
Just call the sidebar in your theme's single page.
I'm trying to make a custom search page, by creating all new search.php file, for my wordpress template...so far, so good.
The problem is that when I search for something it doesn't show any results.
I'm guesing that it has something to do with some php script or something I don't know.
How can I fix that ?
P.S The function for the number of the results works fine, but there isn't any results.
Here is the content of search.php
<?php
get_header();
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1>Search Results</h1>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php _e( 'Nothing Found' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
get_footer();
?>
The problem is that you don't have anything in your loop to print the results, i.e.
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1>Search Results</h1>
<!-- Needs something here -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
To fix the problem, simple replace <!-- Needs something here --> with the following
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
</a>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
You also need to move <h1>Search Results</h1> to above the loop to stop it from displaying multiple times. It may be best to move it above the if statement if you don't intend on adding it to your else statement as well.
How to display 10 post in home page and also show pagination below? Is it possible to use have_post() ?
<?php if (have_posts()):
$incr=1;
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="postindex <?php echo (($incr%2==0)?'even':'odd') ?>" id="post-<?php echo $incr ?>">
<div class="postIncr"><?php echo $incr ?></div><h1><?php the_title() ?></h1>
<div class="clear-float"></div>
<?php strip_tags(the_excerpt(__('Readmore ?')));?>
</div>
<?php $incr++; endwhile;
endif ?>
This is my coding, I have installed wp_paginate, so how can I use there, I want to show 6 post on a page
Thanks in advance
Use Pagination Plugin. You just need to change css.
I have three pages on my site. Let's call them home, page2, and page3.
My 'home' page is set as a static front page. My 'page2' is set up as the blog page.
What I want is the following:
I want page2 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).
AND
I want page3 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).
The PHP code to only show posts with a certain category (or actually in my case, show posts excluding two categories) is the following:
<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-3,-8'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div><!-- /.post-->
Now, in my page.php, I have the following code to display posts with one category:
<?php
// BEGIN IF PAGE is newspaper articles page
if ( is_page('newspaper') ) {
//BEGIN POST REGION
query_posts($query_string . '&cat=8'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_content('Read more »'); ?>
</div><!-- /.post-->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
} //end if is_page
?>
But it doesn't show the proper posts on the newspaper page (or page3 in this question). It does, however, work for the articles page (main index.php blog page).
EDIT: I've also tried the following (but it doesn't work). I put this in the index.php file:
<?php
if ( is_page('newspaper') || is_home() ) { // START if is home
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Permanent Link to
<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<!--<p><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php //the_author() ?></p>-->
<?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div><!-- /.post-->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
} //end if is_home() or is_page()
?>
Again, this shows the posts on the main blog page, but doesn't show any posts on the newspaper page...
The question is therefore simple (I think). How do I show posts on another page OTHER than the main blog page?
Thanks!

Rather than exclude categories and exclude pages and change the standard Wordpress loop, use a new query, like this:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=mycategory&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This can be used inside the standard WP loop and be used mutiple times in a page/post or page template without conflicting. (Enable php execution to use it in the page/post editor). Function Reference/WP Query « WordPress Codex
This also works well to use page templates to create different pages with blog posts: Page Templates « WordPress Codex, but don't forget that WP also uses category pages, too, depending on your theme: Category Templates « WordPress Codex.
I think you have to make different templates for different page. Check this link http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
I think this thread answers the question and does what you want.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-only-x-category-posts-on-page?replies=9#post-1053767
Using the string 'newspaper' in is_page('newspaper') is a potential source of the problem. It might be misspelled easily.
Have you ever tried using the page id? Something like
is_page('999')
I've edited the single.php to suit my needs and it works. I only left in the part of the loop in in which is as follows:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry »</p>'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?> </div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
It only displayes the text, like I want it to.
The problem I get is when I add the following code to be used as the sidebar in the template;
<?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile;?>
It should display the title of the last 10 posts. But now the loop also is displaying the latest (full0 10 posts instead of just the one post that belongs to the permalink... I think a variable or so is being reused and needs to be rest.. Note that in the single.php first you get the 'sidebar' code, and then you get the 'loop' code.
So why is wordpress behaving this way?
The reason this happens is because Wordpress is a nightmarish maze of global variables. query_posts() is one of the worst offenders. If you check the documentation for this function, you'll see that they even have to warn you to basically not use it:
Important note
The query_posts function is intended
to be used to modify the main page
Loop only. It is not intended as a
means to create secondary Loops on the
page. If you want to create separate
Loops outside of the main one, you
should create separate WP_Query
objects and use those instead. Use of
query_posts on Loops other than the
main one can result in your main Loop
becoming incorrect and possibly
displaying things that you were not
expecting.
They've added some object oriented stuff that you can use now instead, namely the WP_Query object (why they haven't revamped the "main" pages to get rid of the ridiculous "The Loop" stuff yet is questionable).
You're going to want to do something like this in the sidebar:
<?php
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
$recentPosts->query('showposts=10');
while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile;?>
Google around about how to use WP_Query if you want more examples.
query('showposts=10');
while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) :
$recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
"
rel="bookmark" title="Link to ">
reading the code u putting in the sidebar, u are trying to get the last 10 titles of posts to show in sidebar , right ? if so u can just use this line :
`<?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=10'); ?>
