Thank you very much…
Always an active moderator and very very knowledgeable, I salute you!
You are a legend and I sincerely thank you for this.
Now that I have seen it in action, I understand it and would be able to write it again, I am a very weird learner (as you can probably tell) and need to see things, then dissect them to understand how they work!!!
Thank you again
Thanks, I am having trouble inserting it into my code and making it work.
Sorry about this, I am fairly new to PHP in general and am a visual learner, it looks right but strikes up a syntax error of unexpected T_ENDIF error!
My code again looks like this :
<div class="column half"> <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1&category_name=movies'); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?> <div class="latest"> <h3>Latest Post: <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <p><?php the_excerpt() ; ?></p> <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">Read Full Article..</a> </div> <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?> </div> <!-- Column Half -->Thank you and sorry for not being better haha!!
yeah i apologise for that, i re read it and it was disgusting. haha!
For instance, if i have 2 categories and 2 pages (movies and games). I want to display the posts I make in the movies category on the movies and games posts on the games page.
At the minute I have a template part which looks like this:
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1&category_name=movies'); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div class="latest"> <h3>Latest Post: <a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <p><?php the_excerpt() ; ?></p> <a>">Read Full Article..</a> </div> <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>[Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. As it stands, your posted code has been permanently damaged/corrupted by the forum’s parser.]
What I want to know is—-
Is there a way that I can add to the code above to tell wordpress that if i am on the movies page show the latest post from the movies category and if I am on the games page show the latest post from the games category.
I dont want to have to write multiple templates or template parts as that seems to be more files on my server!
I really do hope this helps to clear up the matter and I have explained it in a better way!
