If the page you’re trying to check is set as Page for posts, then is_page conditional won’t be true. In such case you should check if is_home. Why? All these conditional tags are based on global wp_query. For page that is set as page for posts (home of your blog), the global query doesn’t contain … Read more
This doesn’t work the way you think it does because get_pages doesn’t do what you think it does. First, understand that all pages, all content, in WordPress is really a “post”. A “Page” is just a special type of post. Now, in a normal environment, you wouldn’t call “get_” anything. This is why you’re confused, … Read more
The way I retrieve posts on my blog is to use the following: <?php $recentPosts = new WP_Query(); $recentPosts->query(‘showposts=5&cat=CAT_ID_GOES_HERE’); while($recentPosts->have_posts()): $recentPosts->the_post(); ?> Then you would go and create the code to control the display of each post. So for a really simple example: <h1 class=”title”><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/3170/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1> Then at the end of … Read more
You can control what template loads for any type of query via the Template Filters. Here’s an example using home_template that checks if posts_per_page is equal to 1, and loads single.php in that case. function wpd_home_template( $home_template=”” ){ if( get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ ) == 1 ){ $home_template = locate_template( ‘single.php’, false ); } return $home_template; } … Read more
No need to change core files: add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse316713_pagination_base_rewrite_rule’ ); function wpse316713_pagination_base_rewrite_rule() { global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->pagination_base=”image”; } Go to permalink options page, and press save to flush the rewrite rules, changes should apply afterwards.
To remove pagination prefix page in home page you should: add a rewrite rule which will translate the new link format, prevent redirection to address containing page, replace URLs in paging links. By creating pagination links, WordPress appends query var paged with mentioned prefix to url. Therefore, without modification, the links would look like example.com/3/page/3. … Read more
When you make a page the page for posts, it’s no longer a “page” in the conventional sense. Refer to the Template Hierarchy for home page display- the quickest fix is to rename your blog template home.php, and WordPress will load that before index.php.
From a plugin or your theme’s functions.php file: function wpse106861_mod_query( $query ) { /* are we on the blog page ? */ if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { /* get ID of news category */ $news_id = get_cat_ID( ‘news’ ); /* exclude posts in new from query */ $query->set( ‘category__not_in’ => array( $news_id ) … Read more
Try using: <?php // Determine context $page_id = ( ‘page’ == get_option( ‘show_on_front’ ) ? get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ) : get_the_ID ); // Echo post meta for $page_id echo get_post_meta( $page_id, ‘Page Description’, true ); ?> What’s happening: You’re using a static page as front page, and a static page to display the blog posts index … Read more
