I've got a wordpress blog theme which shows the content of all posts on the index fine but when I click into one of the posts the content of the post is blank and I can't seem to figure out why. If I'm correct the single.php controls that page.
http://pastebin.com/afLVxMPb = My single.php
an example of what I mean would be http://www.ndesign-studio.com/demo/wordpress/blog/how-about-a-blog-post-with-longer-title but on this site the content of the blog post does show up but on mine it doesn't.
I think the problem is somewhere here...
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'your-theme' ) . '&after=</div>') ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
You should add "the loop" somewhere in your single.php file and call setup_postdata($post) or the_post() so you can access the post data inside that loop.
Read more about the loop here: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
For example, your single.php file will look something like this (simplified):
........
<div id="content">
<?php if(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
// etc.. all post info
............
<?php endforeach; ?>
Hope that helps! Good luck.

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 have my front page set to a static page and am trying to build my custom template. How do I actually show the selected front page in front-page.php? I have googled and googled but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
The front-page.php actually loads like it should, but I can't seem to find documentation on exactly how to show the page that is assigned as the static home page. Any suggestions?
I have tried
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
but that didn't seem to work...
Your static page uses a page template (usually page.php for the default template)
You can create a new one for the homepage if you wish. see : Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates copy page.php to homepage.php and change the template name
Example template (homepage.php) :
<?php
/*
Template Name: Homepage
*/
//the content of page.php and now you can do what you want.
?>
$id = 0; /* The id of your page */
$page = get_page($id);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content);
If its a static page, I should not use a loop.
First, take a look to topic to show something only on home page. a related question is Wordpress Post Thumbnail Issue (Only 1 thumbnail on frontpage). Also, it can be useful how to create a static front page in wordpress.
I was missing something obvious. The loop I was using I had copied out of wordpress template. It actually called another template file. What I should have used was:
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
</header>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __('Pages:', 'twentytwelve'), 'after' => '</div>')); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<footer class="entry-meta">
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit', 'twentytwelve'), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>'); ?>
</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
</article><!-- #post -->
<?php endwhile;?>
What I want to know is, how can I implement my already made index.php file to apply custom posts to it. (See below)
What I want to accomplish:
Display all posts(already accomplished in index.php)
--> show normal post a.k.a 'Article' (already accomplished in index.php)
If category/or post type 'Aside' is used, don't apply a <a> tag, make title lighter(can figure it out in CSS)
-->show text for the 'Aside' marked post
If category/or post type 'Link' is used, wrap title in <a> tag linking to a site(<-- how would I do that in WordPress?)
-->show text for info about the link
If category/or post type 'Photo' is used, don't wrap title in a <a> tag
-->show attached image in post, and post text as a caption
I know this may look like a lot but I'm sure it's easily do-able.
Some source code may not help me all the way, so I have my index.php below to see if you can help me implement it into it:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<article>
<!-- <p><span class="metaCat"><?php the_category(', '); ?></span></p> -->
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p><span class="meta"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></span></p>
<hr />
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</article>
<hr class="big" />
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
If you can input the needed code into a workable index.php file you will get some well thought of brownie points!
Thanks and all help is welcomed!
I finally see what you meant to do here. This is easily done using the get_post_format() function. Just replace the title here with:
<?php
$format = get_post_format(get_the_ID());
if ($format == 'link') { ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php }else{ ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>
The other bit about linking to a site though, I'm not sure how you want to accomplish that. Are you referring to the blogroll?
The best option for the "link" post format, is to use a custom metabox/custom fields. Add your key as "URL" then type the address in the value field.
Use get_post_meta() to get the URL and use that instead of the_permalink() in the href.
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.
$category
(mixed) (required) One or more categories specified by ID
(integer), name or slug (string), or an array of these
With your current code, the in_category check is failing every time since it is checking for an association with the category named "16." Try this instead:
if ( in_category(16) ) {
...
}
Thanks to the help provided by Hans. This is what I did:
query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'foo', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );
if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="post">
<?php echo the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
I have three pages on my site. Let's call them home, page2, and page3.
My 'home' page is set as a static front page. My 'page2' is set up as the blog page.
What I want is the following:
I want page2 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).
AND
I want page3 to display blog posts with a certain category (of which ID is known).
The PHP code to only show posts with a certain category (or actually in my case, show posts excluding two categories) is the following:
<?php query_posts($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.

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')
