 * Hi Josh and Media X
 * Thanks for your support – really appreciated.
    (Plus I now know about backticks–
   soz)
 * It’s really the first **Standard loop** which is confusing me – as I can only
   get it to return 1 **page**
 * The **custom loop** works ok where I am using the WP_query approach. (I was trying
   for a list of pages rather than posts)
 * Its the **arguments** bit that is confusing me, even though the article has helped.
   Can you give me a pointer to where arguments should be set for the get_posts/
   have_posts approach?
 * Thanks again
    Paul

 * Hi Keesiemeijer
 * Really appreciate your help and links so far.
 * Here is an example of the things that are confusing me. I can understand the 
   code OK, but where to run it?
 * Heres the example from the book:
    To return a list of all registered post types
   in WordPress, you’ll use the get_post_types() function. <? php get_post_types(
   $ args, $ output, $ operator ); ?>

 * Hello guys
 * Thanks for the feedback which I really appreciate.
 * The theme I am using for my learning experience is a premium theme (the same 
   I am using on my live site)
 * I am mainly trying to learn how to display my content in different ways and so
   loop and functions are my current focus (rather than theme development itself)
 * One example of the stuff that confuses me is this. One book I am reading (Professional
   WP Plugin development by Brad Williams) says stuff like this:
 * Check out which custom plugins are registered in your WP site by running this:
   CODE SNIPPET
 * I understand the code snippet fine – but where do I run it in order to get the
   output? Should I be in some sort of console mode?
 * Thanks P

 * Hi Krishna
 * Really appreciate your response. I am learning all the time!
 * I swapped the theme back to 2012 and the validation errors are not repeated.
 * I guess what you are teaching me is that these kinds of HTML tags are generated
   dynamically by the theme and so there isn’t a way to edit them – the theme code
   would need to be amended.
 * Just a final question: When you are buying a premium theme is there a way to 
   frame the question about validation errors that will get you some kind of reassurance
   before you buy?
 * Thanks
    P
