Ah, okay. Well at least I’m not crazy. I’ve made a lot of WordPress sites and could never get that to work, and always thought I must be doing something wrong.
I think the documentation and template hierarchy image could probably use a bit of rewording to make it a bit clearer. I can’t imagine I’m the only one to make that mistake . . . although I couldn’t find anything on the forums about it so maybe I am.
Anyways, thanks for your help!
Well, I know why it’s doing it, I think. All the conditional tags are based off of the query. If you query a page_id it think it’s a page, if you query a post it thinks it’s a single. I guess that kind of makes sense, but what if somebody wants to have a custom query on a page, then conditional tags won’t work after the query. Or is there some way that I missed?
