– create a page template:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates
(possibly starting with a copy of page.php or single.php or index.php)
– add a custom query:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters
example:
$all_posts = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'title' ) );
what theme are you working with?
Thanks. That helped. Appreciated.
I initially tried:
<?php
$all_posts = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby' => 'title' , 'order' => 'ASC') );
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<p><?php the_title() ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
But it didn’t work – although I can’t see why, and it may be my error as it seems to do the same as the code I subsequently used:
<?php
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby' => 'title' , 'order' => 'ASC');
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<p><?php the_title() ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Now, as expected, I have to paginate that page – so I’m open to suggestions. ‘Please, thanks’, again.
have to paginate that page
with all posts obviously not, but otherwise set ‘posts_per_page’ to a fixed number, for instance 10, and try:
<?php
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'orderby' => 'title' , 'order' => 'ASC', 'paged' => get_query_var('paged') );
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<p><?php the_title() ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
possibly together with http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_posts_link
and
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_posts_link
Thanks, again.
Your code helped hugely.
I’d previously used a custom function to replace the next/previous links with ‘first 1 2 3 etc last’. It was so long ago that I can’t remember much about how it worked, and my brain is currently too shot to re-understand.
But, there’s a line of code which I’ve been using to paginate elsewhere:
<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("showposts=10&paged=$page"); ?>
That, with yours, does what’s required – provided the integers for ‘showposts’ and ‘posts_per_page’ are identical.
Someday, I’ll have a re-read and try to understand this.
