    My category.php only shows current and future dated posts, how can I get it to display all posts from the category in reverse order (oldest first)

  • What do you mean by “current posts”? WP by default should display all the posts in a category – unless you tell it otherwise (e.g. modifying the Loop).
    As for reverse order, just do a search…

    That’s what I thought but my category.php loop is:


    <!-- main content area-->
    <div class="content">
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
    <small><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/timeicon.gif" alt="" /> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/author.gif" alt="" /> <?php the_author() ?> </small>

    <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content('[more... &raquo;]'); ?>

    </div>

    <p class="info">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <strong>|</strong> <?php edit_post_link('Edit','','<strong>|</strong>'); ?> <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/comments.gif" alt="" /> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments &raquo;', '1 Comment &raquo;', '% Comments &raquo;'); ?></p>

    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <p align="center"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?> <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></p>

    <?php else : ?>
    <h2 align="center">Not Found</h2>
    <p align="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
    <?php endif; ?>

    </div>

    It only shows posts dated today and future events, I didn’t think this did anything out of the ordinary
    I have Eventcalendar from firetree.net and the category is the parent of my events catagory.
    Hope this clarifies my problem.

    Yes it does. You just solved your own mystery 😉

    ok I am being thick

    Does event calendar affect all posts or is it because the category is the parent of the events category?

    When you click on a category name (e.g. in the sidebar’s menu) on the so-called category archives view it will display all the posts in THAT category and ALL ITS CHILDREN’s.
