I just solved this problem for myself. are you using
query_posts();
?
Cause if you are, you need to realize that you are altering the main loop and have reset the global query.
here is my code example
global $wp_query;
query_posts(array_merge(array(
'category_name' => 'news-events',
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'posts_per_page' => 5
),$wp_query->query));
In the fact I can’t say. Where do I find it? On index.php?
If yes, here is my index.php code, there is query_posts();
but it’s from an theme I bought, I really don’t know how to change it:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar("slider"); ?>
<?php if(get_option("ocmx_home_page_layout") == "widget") :
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_active_sidebar("widget1")) : ?>
<div id="widget-block" class="clearfix">
<ul class="widget-list clearfix">
<?php dynamic_sidebar("widget1"); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif;
else :
if(get_option("ocmx_home_page_categories") && get_option("ocmx_home_page_categories") !== 0):
$use_catid = get_option("ocmx_home_page_categories");
$fetch_category = get_category_by_slug($use_catid);
$use_category = "cat=".$fetch_category->term_id."&";
else :
$use_category = "";
endif;
if (is_paged()) :
query_posts($use_category ."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts")."&paged=".get_query_var('paged'));
elseif (is_home()) :
query_posts($use_category."showposts=".get_option("ocmx_home_page_posts"));
endif; ?>
<ul class="double-cloumn clearfix">
<li id="left-column">
<ul class="blog-main-post-container">
<?php
query_posts('cat=-3');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
setup_postdata($post);
$link = get_permalink($post->ID);
$image = get_obox_image(528, '240', '', 'div', 'post-image', true); ?>
<li class="post">
<?php echo $image; ?>
<h2 class="post-title"><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="dater">
<span class="month"><?php echo date_i18n('M', strtotime($post->post_date)); ?></span>
<span class="day"><?php echo date_i18n('jS', strtotime($post->post_date)); ?></span>
</div>
<div class="copy clearfix">
<?php if($post->post_excerpt !== "") :
the_excerpt();
else :
the_content("");
endif; ?>
<?php if(get_option("ocmx_meta_reading") != "false"): ?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>" class="action-link"><?php _e("Continue lendo. →", "ocmx"); ?></a></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div align='left'><?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?></div>
<?php else: ?>
<div class="no-posts clearfix">
<h1><?php _e("No post found"); ?></h1>
<p><?php _e("Sorry, no posts matched your criteria."); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php motionpic_pagination("clearfix", "pagination clearfix"); ?>
</li>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Hey jbusci!
WORKS!
Man you can’t imagine how happy I am now!
I have changed some lines with your code and the part “category name” changed for the theme cat name. Worked!
Thanks a lot!
