Hey Everyone,
I have the static homepage working fine.
Getting the "posts page" (the page that will show all of my posts) is causing a few problems for me.
Here is the code for my index.php file....
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="contentWrap" class="group">
<div id="article">
<?php if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) :
the_post();?>
<?php if(is_page('blog') ) { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h4 style="color:red;"><?php the_title(); ?></h4></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
?>
<?php if(is_page() ) { ?>
<!-- do nothing -->
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="feedback">
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div><!--article-->
</div><!--contentWrap-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>What I want to happen is that when the page is my blog page is uses the <h4>'s and links to each post. I don't want every page to self link to itself either if i had to use all <h1>'s.
In my reading options I set the posts page to blog. Oddly enough this if statement works if I don't set that as my posts page, or if I replace it with a different page ( for instance is_page('contact') ).
Is there a certain way to target the posts page?
Further frustration:
I've been able to get around this, by simply creating a blog page, but for some reason when I do this, if I am to set parent pages to a page the URL doesn't include it.
For instance:
mysite.com/dog/husky/
When I make dog the parent page to husky I want the URL to show what is above but it only shows as:
mysite.com/husky/
That only happens when I do not select a certain page as my posts page. I am clueless as to why.
Here is my blog page:
<?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="contentWrap" class="group">
<div id="article">
<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('posts_per_page=5' .'&paged='.$paged);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
?>
<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
<?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp;?>
</div><!--article-->
</div><!--contentWrap-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>Any help is appreciated.
