Can't list posts by custom terms

    I have searched for so long before posting.

    I have created a custom post-type “products” and there are few “product-category” likes books, electronics and games.

    I can list all products in archive-products.php. Then, I created a “taxonomy-product-category.php” template to show the posts after clicking on the “get_term_link()” of a specific product category.

    But now all the three pages below shows the same list of posts of ALL products but not corresponding product category:
    http://mydomain.com/product-category/books/
    http://mydomain.com/product-category/electronics/
    http://mydomain.com/product-category/games/

    I guess there is something wrong with the WP_Query in the taxonomy-product-category.php:

    <?php
$new_query = new WP_Query();
$new_query->query('post_type=products');
?>

<?php while ($new_query->have_posts()) : $new_query->the_post(); ?>

  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

<?php endwhile; ?>

    Please kindly help~~

    Your query does not select a product-category.

    Since I can’t see all of your code, this is somewhat of a guess, but I think you could do this.

    Set a Custom Field named ‘product-category’ on each of your three pages. Set its value to be the same as the product-category to show on that page. For example, on http://mydomain.com/product-category/books/, set it to ‘books’.

    Then change the code in your taxonomy-product-category.php to this (UNTESTED):

    <?php
$product_category = get_post_meta($post->ID,'product-category',true);
$new_query = new WP_Query();
$new_query->query("post_type=products&product-category=$product_category");
?>

    Sorry for the delay.
    Thanks, vtxyzzy for the big help.
    Although I didn’t get your suggestion work, I can see the hint.
    Now I have removed the WP_Query and use the parent query. It works perfectly and show the post of current category only.

    On the other hand, however, I don’t know how can I have them in 4-post a page.

    Many Thanks!

    I was wondering how to set the post per page.
    Now I see it from Setting.
    Many thanks!
