So question is, do you really need to create an empty page just to set that page as the posts page/blog page? Yes, you do. If you use a static front page, and want to have a page for (blog) posts, then you need to create a separate static page, and assign it as “page … Read more
Use $post = get_post( id ); and then set the post like setup_postdata($post); and you can call the_content(); or the_excerpt();
This should do the trick. global $wp_query; $post = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); $post->ID; This’ll give you the ID for each page you’re on. get_option( ‘page_on_front’ ) should’ve worked though.
Your plugin inserts its feelbox widget by filtering the_content: if ($options[‘showinpostsondefault’] == ‘on’) { add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘add_feelbox_widget_to_posts’); } But your index page doesn’t display the_content, just Title, featured thumbnail, an excerpt and, number of comments. The plugin code you’ve shown us doesn’t include a print_feelbox_widget() function. Does such a function actually exist in your plugin? (Also, … Read more
I’ve found the solution. According to https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content#Overriding_Archive.2FSingle_Page_Behavior, one must add global $more; $more = 0; before the call to the_content(). So now my inner loop reads: <?php $recent_posts_query = new WP_Query(array(‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5)); while ($recent_posts_query->have_posts()) { $recent_posts_query->the_post(); ?> <div class=”post”> <h3><?php echo the_title(); ?></h3> <p>by <?php the_author(); ?></p> <?php global $more; $more … Read more
Use WP_Query with offset like this <?php $offset = 6; $post_args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => $offset, ); $slider_blog_posts = new WP_Query( $post_args ); ?> <?php if ( $slider_blog_posts->have_posts() ): ?> <div class=”carousel”> <?php while( $slider_blog_posts->have_posts() ): $slider_blog_posts->the_post(); ?> <?php get_carousel_slide( get_the_ID, true); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_postdata(); … Read more
WordPress widgets are context dependent, that means if any templates use the dynamic_sidebar() function or in other words has any sidebar or widget area in that template then you’ll see widgets in the customizer. For instance, if page.php has sidebar then when you’re in a page you’ll see widgets in the customizer.

Why will choosing a “Post page” be useful? Because if your homepage is a static page, where will the main post archive go? It no longer exists, but you can bring it back by choosing a posts page. You do this by choosing a page that has the URL you want, and that URL wll … Read more
Add orderby and order to your arguments: $cat_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post__not_in’ => get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ), ‘category__in’ => array($cat->term_id), ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ) ); Update it seems it still takes one category, lists 5 posts and then goes to another, with 5 posts etc. It … Read more
