Go to Settings > Permalinks and insert archive in the Category base field. For custom post type archives, you can set that to anything you want via the has_archive argument of register_post_type: ‘has_archive’ => ‘archive/your-post-type’
You can also use categories as News, Projects etc. and use category archive page as the archive for them. But this will limit the functionality as you can not easily categorize the posts within that category. So I recommend using cusom post type for that. If you decide to go with custom post type then … Read more
Ok short of a better solution here is what I’ve come up with: <?php $today = date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime(‘-6 hours’)); query_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘events’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 99, ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_query’ => array(array( ‘key’ => ‘event_date’, ‘meta-value’ => $value, ‘value’ => $today, ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘CHAR’ )) )); … Read more
the standard WP function for that is: the_date(); (source)
You can get the selected page for posts by the following code: $page_for_posts = get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ); Then, get the requested post by: $post = get_post( $page_for_posts ); And, get the data you need: echo apply_filters( ‘the_title’, $post->post_title ); echo apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $post->post_content ); echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, $key, $single);
Third choice: I suggest using jQuery to handle this. <script>$(‘aTwenty Twelve Calender Widget post titles creating disturbance’).attr(‘title’, ”);</script> will remove all anchor titles on the page. You could put that in the page template or build a widget that echos it.
Once wordpress reads the “Events” part of the URL it knows that what follows are posts or subcategories of the events category, and a page is neither, and that is the reason you don’t even have an option of doing what you want. Do it as a post instead of a page. Then edit you … Read more
Inspect get_queried_object(). On an archive for the category Uncategorized you get something like … stdClass Object ( [term_id] => 1 [name] => Uncategorized [slug] => uncategorized [term_group] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 1 [taxonomy] => category Find out in which kind of archive am I => [parent] => 0 [count] => 8 [cat_ID] => 1 [category_count] … Read more
This is minimally tested– nearly untested really– but: function force_archive_php_wpse_88824() { if (is_main_query() && is_archive()) { include (get_stylesheet_directory().’/archive.php’); exit; } } add_action(‘template_redirect’,’force_archive_php_wpse_88824′); You are interrupting the template load process and forcing a file of your choice to be used.

You could try using the posts_orderby filter: add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘sort_arc’); function sort_arc($q) { if ($q->is_category() && $q->is_main_query()) { $q->set(‘meta_key’, ‘the-year’); add_filter(‘posts_orderby’, ‘custom_posts_orderby’); } return $q; } where function custom_posts_orderby($orderby) { global $wpdb; return $wpdb->postmeta.”.meta_value+0 DESC, “.$wpdb->posts .”.post_title ASC”; } takes care of the custom ordering. We use meta_value+0 from the meta_value_num definition in /wp-includes/query.php. Update: Here … Read more
