I found some more info about a solution what proberly fits me: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part

I hope this also works without a child theme.

Thanks for the fast reply alchymyth. The wp_reset_postdata(); did not work. I will look into how to restore $temp back to wp_query later since it is very late here and custom PHP is still hard to understand for me.

This is the full relevant code I used:

In test.php template:

<?php get_header(); /* Template Name: test template */ ?>

<ul class="submenu">
<?php
  $temp = $wp_query;
  $wp_query = null;
  $wp_query = new WP_Query();
  $wp_query->query('showposts=10&post_type=test'.'&paged='.$paged); 

  while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
?>
<li>
<?php the_title( '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a>' ); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();  ?>
</ul>

and after the first loop:

<div class="contentbox main">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>

In the functions file:

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
	register_post_type( 'test',
array(
    'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'test' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'test' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'menu_position'=>4,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt' )
		)
	);
}

What I did was create a page: test and connected the test template with the template function to connect the first query with custom post type tab with the normal page. I think I did something wrong with the flushing of the query. I used the query since it was the only one working with a numeric pagination on custom post types.

It works now, thank you! When I tried the double-quotes my HTML editor is calling for a error in the code because of the ‘at the span’ but I ignored it now and it works without php errors 🙂

EDIT: I have to say I tried to fill in single quotes what was triggering the error I understand now why next time I’ll use double quotes.

I am using the Bootstrap framework with WordPress and it uses object orientated css. I am a big fan of OOC because it will keep the CSS clean and structured when a website is growing large.

In my specific case I am using a spriteset (glypthicons) what is already integrated in the Bootstrap framework. With the class=icon-chevron-left I call an arrow icon background image. With another class (icons-white) in my case i can make the background white.

The quickfix would be to overwrite the bootstrap class in styles.css. But I want to prevent that since the best solution is a extra class so the stylesheets will be as slim as possible and the style.css wont get filled with unnecessary styles.

I hope someone can help me out 🙂
