So I'm fairly new to wordpress, but I think I'm catching on now as I've decided to do build my own theme to help me learn quick. I'm also new to php, so bear with me.
So like I can add tags to my post and they show up in my side bar, but when I click on one, all posts are loaded, same with when I do a search for a key word... basically anytime I ask an archive of sorts to be loaded, my index.php gets loaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I usually try to figure everything out on my own, but this one's had me stumped all day.
Here's the link to the site:
http://www.christylanger.com/category/news/
Also, being new to php, I'm sure I've gone about this the hard way, but here's how the site works.
Portfolio Section of Site ---------
1. the root calls home.php
2. any categories under the heading 'Selected Works' call individual categories -'cat_name'.php and all have individual single_'cat_name'.php(s)
Blog Section of Site ---------
3. the menu item 'news' on the top right calls category-news.php which uses a totally different layout than the 'Portfolio Section' this category links to single-news.php
4. The index.php is based on the "Blog Section' layout
Hope that helps navigate, again thanks for the any insight, I'm having a great time learning wp & php!
cheers,
