No, the blog page is just a regular page, it has no special ID number and it can be anything. The only special thing about a blog page is that it was assigned to use as a “blog” page and you can check for its ID value in one of the options.
I believe you are talking about the blog page, the page you set as posts page when you select a static front page. Many functionality like breadcrumbs relies on the $post global. By default, if nothing breaks the $post global, before the loop, the $post global should always hold the first post in the main … Read more
You can use the has_tag function in a conditional statement to achieve what you want. Take a look at the codex page here: Function Reference/has tag. This isn’t 100% tailored to your specific question, but you should see how it’s working and adjust for your specific task: <?php if( has_tag() ) { ?> <?php query_posts( … Read more
there are two WordPress functions you could try: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page_by_title (as suggested by @t31os in the comments to your quoted link) http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page_by_path if you have already tried them, please describe how these failed to do what you want.
I think I got it. You’re querying for sticky posts. Attachments can’t be sticky at least by default. Hence, you’re see the normal loop order when sticky posts are involved. So if you add this to your second args array: ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true I think your problem should be resolved. Here’s the relevant codex section … Read more

what about get_terms(‘link_category’);? Once you have the objects, you can use them to get whatever information you like.
You are giving $wpdb->get_results a string for its second parameter. It should be a constant– ARRAY_N— meaning you need to remove the quotes $getunion = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT value from wp_bp_xprofile_data where user_id = $getid AND field_id = 4”, ARRAY_N ); Since you claim it works in the second instance, I am assuming $wpdb compensates, but … Read more
I think you could do something like this: $categories = get_the_category(); $displayed_category_id = 1; // set this to the category ID you want to show $output=””; if($categories){ foreach($categories as $category) { if ( $displayed_category_id == $category->term_id) { $output .= ‘<a href=”‘.get_category_link($category->term_id ).'” title=”‘ . esc_attr( sprintf( __( “View all posts in %s” ), $category->name ) … Read more
You can stop WP creating revisions by adding the following to your wp-config.php: define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false ); You can replace false with an integer if you just want to restrict the number a maximum number of revisions. If you check the plugin directory you’ll find several that will clean up old revisions, such as this one. … Read more
