If you set up the right parameters for your custom post type using ‘has_archive’ => true // Will use the post type slug, ie. example // or ‘has_archive’ => ‘my-example-archive’ // Explicitly setting the archive slug http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
Question was answered on another site.. thank you! BTW, the code that accomplished what I needed was: $categories = get_categories(‘child_of=31’); foreach ($categories as $category) { //Display the sub category information using $category values like $category->cat_name echo ‘<h2>’.$category->name.'</h2>’; echo ‘<ul>’; foreach (get_posts(‘cat=”.$category->term_id) as $post) { setup_postdata( $post ); echo “<li><a href=”‘.get_permalink($post->ID).'”>’.get_the_title().'</a></li>’; } echo ‘</ul>’; }
I’m posting my comment to @MarkKaplun as part of my answer. My point is this, every end user experience a certain thing in a certain way based on his/her own knowledge, experience, usability and personal preference. There can never be a wrong or right answer here. Option one might suite you best, option two might … Read more
I wrote that original code on Stack Overflow, but I didn’t see your further replies because you posted them as answers and not as comments to my answer. I have tested the code now with a specific category and it works for me, but it needs one crucial change: the call to the_post() (which I … Read more
Quick answer: no. There is not a built-in function to create a new comment status. The status of a comment (or a post/page/attachment/etc) contains wide-spread implications thoughout your WordPress install, so you couldn’t just add one somewhere quickly. I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to accomplish by adding this new “status”, but I think … Read more
When you register your post type, set the has_archive argument to false. If you change it, don’t forget to flush your rewrite rules to see the change. Now this works fine if, as you asked, you want to show the page and not the archive. What about the situation where you’d like to show the … Read more
The wp_get_archives() function runs a filter on its WHERE clause–it’s called getarchives_where. You could use this to modify the query to only include pages rather than posts (which is the hard-coded default). I haven’t tested this yet, but try it out: add_filter(‘getarchives_where’,’my_archives_filter’); function my_archives_filter($where_clause) { return “WHERE post_type=”page” AND post_status=”publish””; } Then, just use the … Read more
Eliminating all of the other solutions, there is at least one remaining: template_redirect: function wpse121308_redirect_homepage() { // Check for blog posts index // NOT site front page, // which would be is_front_page() if ( is_home() ) { wp_redirect( get_category_link( $id ) ); exit(); } } add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘wpse121308_redirect_homepage’ ); You will need to pass the … Read more
What you want can be done also filtering ‘month_link’ for monthly archives, ‘year_link’ for yearly archives and ‘day_link’ for daily archives. You can also write a function that extends wp_get_archives to work with CPTs, adding filters to ‘getarchives_where’ and to the archive link. function wp_get_cpt_archives( $cpt=”post”, $args = array() ) { // if cpt is … Read more
There are two ways of doing it: You can use a filter to alter the query when viewing an archive page. You will need to find the ID of your category ‘blogs’ (you can obtain it from the slug using get_term_by). Alternatively you can exclude a particular category by ID. add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_change_query’); function my_change_query($query){ … Read more
