One example to consider:
Pages#A_Page_of_Posts
Thanks Michael,
I’ve tried to figure out exactly how to integrate this, I know my page id#’s and also my catagory id’s as well. Anybody have an idea how to plug these together?
My Page Template Code
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="item" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h1></h1>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div>
<div class="divider"></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<p align="center"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?> <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries »') ?></p>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 align="center">MIsc Header</h2>
<p align="center">Website Coming Soon!.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Page of Posts Code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: PageOfPosts
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php
// page id 21 will get category ID 12 posts, page 16 will get category 32 posts, page 28 will get category 17 posts
if (is_page('21') ) {
$cat = array(12);
} elseif ( is_page('16') ) {
$cat = array(32);
} elseif ( is_page('28') ) {
$cat = array(17);
} else {
$cat = '';
}
$showposts = -1; // -1 shows all posts
$do_not_show_stickies = 1; // 0 to show stickies
$args=array(
'category__in' => $cat,
'showposts' => $showposts,
'caller_get_posts' => $do_not_show_stickies
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php
//necessary to show the tags
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?> </div>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
</div>
<?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 get_search_form(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
That template should work just fine — just change the div, p, span, etc classes to merge with your existing theme/templates for styling.
In addition, you would want to change this:
if (is_page('21') ) {
$cat = array(12);
with your page ID and category ID, respectively.
Thanks Hellomatt, I did to paste some of this together.
Still no luck, either the specific pages don’t load, (error) or I get my home page post on all pages and the coding that I’ve done for each page is no longer visible even though I haven’t changed the header code, etc.
Thanks for you help
Ok this is what you’re looking for,
EXEC-PHP plug-in
This allows you to execute php within your posts or pages.
I installed the plug-in and inserted this php into the page.
<?php query_posts('cat=4'); ?>
presto,
