Why is the custom taxonomy archive page redirecting me to a single post? [closed]

Taxonomy archive index pages for custom taxonomies are not rendered using archive-{taxonomy}.php, but rather, using taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php, which falls back to taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php, which falls back to taxonomy.php. Refer to the Template Hierarchy. WordPress interprets archive-{foobar}.php as archive-{post-type}.php, and would use that template to render the archive index for the foobar post-type. So, your artist taxonomy archive … Read more

Archive – same title for the first two posts

You have to call the_post(); before you use the_permalink() or the_title(). Both functions work with a global $post object that will be set up by the_post();.

orderby meta_value breaks taxonomy term archives

‘meta_key’ => ‘keyname’ must be part of the query to be able to sort by its value. Unfortunately, that will immediately result in the query being limited to posts where the key is set (its value can be empty, but it must exist). Hence, either consider the method s_ha_dum linked to in the question comments, … Read more

Filtering WP_Query

I rewrote the code and now it works The loop: $args = array(‘post_type’ => ‘artist’); $wp_query = new WP_Query( array_merge( $args, array(‘nopaging’ => true) ) ); The filter: function theme_posts_orderby( $orderby, $query ) { if ($query->query_vars[‘post_type’] == ‘artist’) { // order artists by last name $orderby = “RIGHT(post_title, LOCATE(‘ ‘, REVERSE(post_title)) – 1) ASC”; } … Read more

URL of a custom post type’s post format archive?

Here’s what I finally came to know: By default, WordPress doesn’t have (separate) post format archives for custom post types.

how to make URL link query string

This is how I got it working: ADDED this to functions.php: function include_template_function( $template_path ) { global $wp; if ($wp->request == ‘state’) { $template_path = locate_template( array ( ‘state.php’ ) ); } return $template_path; } $state_name = $_GET[‘st’]; //this is added to use as a global variable ADDED THIS to header.php because WP thinks it’s … Read more

Remove category from query (show all posts in archive.php) pre_get_posts()

Just unsetting the cat variable probably isn’t enough. The pre_get_posts hook happens after the query variables have already been parsed. So there’s probably a tax_query with the taxonomy = category and the terms = your category. You’re already dumping the $query in your code, presumably for debugging. So, look at what you’re actually dumping. Do … Read more

Archives for each category on WP Multisite

I thought I’d let you know how I resolved this. After some discussion with a colleague, he made the point that adding a trailing year to the url, doesn’t affect the page displayed (I haven’t had time to find out the rationale for this yet) so: /category/subcat/2011/ displays the same page as /category/subcat/ This meant … Read more
