Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Adding php files to ThemeAlright I set up the page template. It wasn’t showing because the theme I was using didn’t have any page templates.
My problem now is that my previous method for getting all the posts and their titles won’t work. Are there any functions you can call to loop through and get every post (not page) ever made instead of just the ones indicated by the page type? Currently I’m using:
<?php if (have_posts()); while (have_posts()); (the_post()); ?>
//Display and format each title here
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
But the function have_posts() seems to only call the posts necessary for that page, not every post. Any ideas?
There wouldn’t happen to be an area of this site that lists all of these predefined php functions would there?

In reply to: Adding php files to ThemeSorry ryanfitzer, I’m not sure how to specify a template page for my new page I’m creating. Could you be a little more descriptive?
For the first part, placing <?php /* TemplateName */ ?> do you mean just place my file in the themes folder? You have a php command here that seems to be commented out, is that significant or do I have to place this information in a different file. Sorry for my ignorance.
Secondly, I can’t find a way to specify template page in the Write Page area. The only options in the right sidebar are: Discussion, Password-Protect, Parent, Post Slug, Post Author and Post Order. There doesn’t seem to be a link here for selecting page order.
I’m pretty new to php, MySQL and customizing themes in WordPress, so I really appreciate the help.
@maerk – Your suggestion didn’t seem to work, maybe I’m misinterpretting what that function does. Does that function create a link to a page listing the archives in a sequence of titles or does it create the sequence of titles. I’m pretty sure I can do the latter, it is the problem of accessing that php script for my page that is difficult.
Thanks,

In reply to: New Personal Development BlogIt depends on what your blog’s style is really. If you want a simple blog then pure text might be more appropriate. If you are trying to engage all of the readers senses and different thought processes you might want more graphics.
Frankly arguing about graphics seems like arguing about whether a blog should be the color red…

In reply to: New Personal Development BlogThanks for the pointers. I think implementing the read more system would be good.
I may add graphics to illustrate points later, but I want to keep the site simple. Too often I see websites that are just so busy with advertisements, flashing graphics and headlines I feel a bit overwhelmed. Trying to keep the design simple, only adding graphics in small doses, I feel would be more effective.
