Strictly, you don’t need to use a loop in a page template, but it doesn’t hurt, the content of the page will still load, the loop will simply only run once as there is only one post/page.

Check out your php.ini config file and try changing the permissions for your upload_tmp_dir & session.save_path directories.
If I understood you right… [A] Multi-Tax queries have the problem that they’re doing a JOIN of the meta table for every term. So imho it’s not the best idea to use the built in way. [B.1.a] I’d simply do a normal query with a one (main-)tax arg and then do the sorting depending on … Read more
Okay. I took a look at your site. You seem to using categories to show wedding, portraits, events and blog. I’m going to assume that you do not want the other posts of these categories to appear in your blog. So, the use of category would be appropriate. Here’s how I would do it. 1. … Read more
For those who were interested in an answer to this question, I found the answer myself. <div class=”coda-slider” id=”slideshow”> <?php // array of category IDs $categories = array(1,2,3,4,5); foreach ($categories as $cat) : $post = false; $post = get_posts(‘cat=”.$cat.”&posts_per_page=1’); if($post) : $post = $post[0]; setup_postdata($post); ?> <!– rest of normal loop –> <div <?php post_class(); … Read more

You can use the Transients API to cache the entire HTML output so the queries are not done every time the page is loaded: $transient=”my-300-posts”; $timeout = 3600; // 1 hour if ( false === $out = get_transient( $transient ) ) { $args = array( YOUR ARGS GO HERE ); $posts = get_posts( $args ); … Read more
Create a new WP_Query for the slider posts. <div class=”featured-rotator”> <?php $slide_query = new WP_Query( ‘category_name=featured’ ); if ( $slide_query->have_posts() ): ?><ul> <?php while ( $slide_query->have_posts() ) : $slide_query->the_post(); ?> <li class=”post”> <div class=”image”><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div> <h2><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/145555/<?php esc_url( the_permalink() ); ?>” title=”Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, “Author”, true)): … Read more
If I understand your question correctly, you can try the following: add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘incrementparagraphs’, 10, 1 ); function incrementparagraphs( $content ) { return preg_replace_callback( ‘|<p>|’, function ( $matches ) { static $i = 0; return sprintf( ‘<p data-section-id=”%d”>’, $i++ ); }, $content ); } to replace every <p> tags with <p data-section-id=”1″>, where the data-section-id … Read more
