Are you sure your rewrite rules are actually being saved? How are you calling this function to setup the rewrite rules? Action? What about flushing rewrite rules, are you flushing them anywhere in your project? Disable all of your plugins and test to make sure one isn’t flushing rewrite rules on every page load. As … Read more
if it is “a very complex theme,” then there’s probably some hook into template_redirect malfunctioning. as @TomJNowell mentioned, using home.php or front-page.php should allow you to override page.php, but that’s not always preferred (I rarely use them myself), and will not necessarily fix the problem. you don’t need to assign a blog page in order … Read more
If the Home page is set to be a static page like you have, I think that the posts page is supposed to be a different page. http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen You can display your recent posts on front-page.php with WP Query, though: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query Here’s a mostly inclusive starter code, followed by the loop. It’s copied from a … Read more
Not sure how you do it in your single.php, but I’m fairly certain not the same way. The main problem is that both the_post_thumbnail() and get_the_post_thumbnail() are generating the img tag output for you – so putting it into the src attribute of an img tag like in your code can’t work. Additionally: The latter … Read more
If you are looking for “easy”, then the easiest way is probably to use the RSS widget for that. Get two widgets, one for each blog and you are done. Once you have a third blog just add another widget.
You can use a conditional tag with the pre_get_posts action hook like this from your functions file. add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘vm_get_shows’ ); function vm_get_shows ( $query ) { if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_home() ) { $query->set(‘post_type’, ‘shows’ ); } }
Your best way would be to redirect to the theme’s 404 page in the event that the page being loaded matches the slug that you are referring to. Try this: function check_undesirable_page(){ global $post; if(is_page() && ($post->post_name==”YOUR-SLUG-HERE”)){ global $wp_query; $wp_query->set_404(); status_header(404); } } add_action( ‘wp’, ‘check_undesirable_page’ ); EDIT: Also a good idea to incorporate the … Read more

If you’ve got a front-page.php template, I think this will get used, even if you change the Reading -> Static Page settings: If you read https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page you’ll see: ‘On the site front page, WordPress will always use the front-page.php template file, if it exists. If front-page.php does not exist, WordPress will determine which template file … Read more
