Its been a while since ive done wordpress templating and for some reason i cant get the archives.php to work. i have this:
<?php
/* Template Name: Archives */
get_header(); ?>
<div id='content'>
<?php get_sidebar('left'); ?>
<div id='column2-wide'>
<?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<?php if ( in_category(16) ) { ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="post">
<?php echo the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div><!-- column2 -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Then created a page in the admin and chosen the Archives template to be used from the dropdown.
However the posts just dont seem to show. Am i missing something? The very same code works in the index.php file. It seems its just not working when im trying to display posts in a page.
It could well be im missing a file as I started developing the theme using a skeleton theme by Kennethreitz which can be found here:
https://github.com/kennethreitz/wordpress-theme-skeleton/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

EDIT--> Also ive removed the category check so it should just list all posts but instead what it does is just echo the title of the current page if that helps
I'm assuming that "16" is the category ID? According to the WordPress docs for in_category, if you're querying by ID it should be passed as an integer.
$category
(mixed) (required) One or more categories specified by ID
(integer), name or slug (string), or an array of these
With your current code, the in_category check is failing every time since it is checking for an association with the category named "16." Try this instead:
if ( in_category(16) ) {
...
}
Thanks to the help provided by Hans. This is what I did:
query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'foo', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="post">
<?php echo the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

I'm having some real trouble with the below code in my taxonomy.php template in Wordpress. The query is working (i.e pulling posts only from within that custom taxonomy) but it is only displaying 2 posts (4 are in the taxonomy).
All my efforts to convert this into a standard loop using $args simply result in posts from all taxonomies being pulled into the page. I was hoping it is as simple as adding posts_per_page => -1 but this just causes every post in the entire site to display.
As I understand it from the codex, taxonomy pages should pull the relevent posts by default, without a need for a loop?
Any help much appreciated!
taxonomy.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<main>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<figure>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
} ?>
<figcaption>
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<h5><?php the_excerpt(); ?></h5>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</main>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
UPDATE
<main>
<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<figure>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
} ?>
<figcaption>
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<h5><?php the_excerpt(); ?></h5>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</main>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
If you have 6 different taxonomies then there will be 6 different template files to show those taxonomies appropriately. In your case your templates will be taxonomy-topics.php taxonomy-places.php taxonomy-dates.php taxonomy-interviewee.php taxonomy-period.php and taxonomy-a-z.php
In this way once these templates are created your templates will be showing appropriate posts. To achieve that you can use posts_per_page argument or you can visit this page for better understanding about fetching posts WP_Query Codex Page Hope that makes sense by now
This may be a basic question but i cant seem to find a correct solution.
In advanced custom fields I have set up a Field Group CD, in CD there are three fields, title, info, author and the group shows if the category = CD
Therefore when i make a new post with category CD I fill these three fields. There are 10 Posts in the CD categories.
Now the issue I am having is displaying all the posts on a page.
Here is the code I tried
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'cat' => '6', 'CD' => ( get_query_var('CD') ? get_query_var('CD') : 1 ), ));
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
get_post_meta();
} // end while
} // end if
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
This returned an error Warning: Missing argument 1 for get_post_meta(), called in /Volumes/shared/Digital/_Websites/londonconchord/wp-content/themes/conchord/t-disc.php on line 25 and defined in /Volumes/shared/Digital/_Websites/londonconchord/wp-includes/post.php on line 1792
I tried a different attempt
<p><?php query_posts( 'cat=6' );
the_field('title');
the_field('info');
the_field('author'); ?></p>
I had more luck here as I was printing some information, however only the 1st post in the category and it kept repeating, i wanted all 10 posts and no repeat.
I think im close just looking for those final pointers
Thanks
My solution (Finally,) Hope this can help others
<?php
$args = array('cat' => 6);
$category_posts = new WP_Query($args);
if($category_posts->have_posts()) :
while($category_posts->have_posts()) :
$category_posts->the_post();
?>
<div class="article">
<div class="articleinfo">
<h3><?php the_field('title'); ?></h3>
<?php the_field('author'); ?>
<?php the_field('label'); ?>
</div>
<img src="<?php the_field('cd_image'); ?>" height="200" width="200" alt="cd-image" />
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
else:
?>
Oops, there are no posts.
<?php
endif;
?>
Loops through all posts and pulls the ACF i needed
Seems get_post_meta() has variables and your are missing it.
Like get_post_meta($var) expected but your are just calling get_post_meta(). Hope it helps.
You're not querying properly I don't think.
You need to grab the field
get_field('YOUR FIELD NAME') );
Then loop through and grab what you need as a subfield.
the_sub_field('YOUR SUB FIELD');
Example
<?php if(get_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')): while(has_sub_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')): ?>
<img class="logo" src="<?php the_sub_field('logo'); ?>" />
<h1><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></h1>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
For an example. Hope this helps... let me know.
I couldn't get ether of the solutions above to work, thank you though guys for your input,
here is my solution so far
<h3><?php the_field('title', 475); ?></h3>
<?php the_field('info', 475); ?>
<?php the_field('author', 475); ?>
</div>
<img src="<?php the_field('cd_image', 475); ?>" height="200" width="200" alt="" />
Then I just repeated this and changed the id from 475 to others, now ive pulled in all the posts however the downfall is that any new posts i have to add in this code again.
Can i use a wp query to pull these 4 fields in a variable and then print that variable, then loop through the category until all posts are printed?
Hope someone can help me, I've been struggling for days on this trying to find the answer...
Basically, I have a wordpress site that has a slider (not a plug-in just open source code) which is called to using a 'get_template' but it displays the same three posts on every single page. I have different posts in different categories and want the slider to correspond on each separate page and echo the posts from each particular category.
<div id="slidorion">
<div id="slider">
<?php
query_posts( 'posts_per_page=3' );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="slide">"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div id="accordion">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="link-header"><?php the_title(); ?></div>
<div class="link-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>

You should alter your query adding cat or category to your query_posts( 'posts_per_page=3' ); according to what you exactly want
see Query_posts () and also have a look at WP_Query class
you need to use find out the category ids from each post, then use these ids in the
$category = get_the_category();
$post_catid= $category[0]->term_id;
$querystr='cat='.$post_catid.'&posts_per_page=3';
query_posts($querystr);
I'm having trouble getting this to work. Can someone provide a quick snippet for category template that displays posts that belong to a category called 'Product A'. I've been using the trial and error method for the past 3 hours with no luck.
Thank you!
Here's what I've been playing around with -
<?php
/*
Template Name: yadayada
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php query_posts('cat=32&showposts=5'); ?>
<div class="post">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="post-description">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
</div>
You can used the WP_Query class.
One way I've done it before is by first creating a category name of Product-A and making the slug 'product-a' all lower case.
Then instantiate a new instance of the class. Pass in the parameter of 'category_name=product-a' You do no pass in the category name with this parameter, but rather the slug name. once you do that you should be able to use the WP_Query as follows:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=product-a' ); ?>
<?php if ($my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post() ?>
<article <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="product-excerpt"><?php the_content(); ?> </div>
</article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
pretty much everything is the same as the regular loop but instead of just
<?php if(have_post()) : while(have_post()) : the_post() ?>
You would used object notation to refer to this particular query.
<?php if($my_query->have_post()) : while($my_query->have_post()) : $my_query->the_post() ?>
hope it helps.
First get your Product A category id; (if you use, your cat id in your custom query it 's gonna work perfectly instead of category name.)
<?php
query_posts('cat=1');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>
I have three pages on my site. Let's call them home, page2, and page3.
My 'home' page is set as a static front page. My 'page2' is set up as the blog page.
What I want is the following:
I want page2 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).
AND
I want page3 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).
The PHP code to only show posts with a certain category (or actually in my case, show posts excluding two categories) is the following:
<?php query_posts($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')
