In your page template line 42 you will see <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : //display excerpts for archives and search. ?> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <?php else : ?> <?php the_content(‘Read More’); ?> <?php endif; ?> This means that there won’t be a heading on archive pages and the_excerpt doesn’t allow html like … Read more

Check for is_front_page() and if you want to catch the first page only inspect get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) too: if ( is_front_page() and 2 > get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) { // we are on the first page of the front page }
Get all children categories using get_terms(). Loop through each term and run a new query using tax_query. Example: <?php if ( get_queried_object()->parent == 0 ) : // parent cat ?> <h2>Showing all children</h2> <?php $args = array( ‘hide_empty’ => false, ‘parent’ => get_queried_object()->term_id ); $terms = get_terms( ‘category’, $args ); if ( $terms ) echo … Read more
The first problem can be solved by changing the query_posts in your work section. Replace ‘&category_name=work’ with ‘&category_name=work&paged=1&posts_per_page=-1’ For the second problem, why not use the category template itself in place of index.php? As a side note, you should not use query_posts for this use case. In place of that you should use a new … Read more
I found a solution by changing my categories.php to category-slug.php and then putting the standard loop back into the the category.php file. All seems good now.
If I understand what you are doing… If you have categories set to load at “/category-name/” and a category named “/movies/” and a custom post type set to load at “/movies/” you’ve got conflicting elements. The rewrite rules are competing. That is going to be problematic. If you set has_archive to false when you register … Read more
So far as I know there is no ‘last posted on’ value saved for a user. You can find that information by referencing the post_date in the *_posts table against the author data in *_users and *_usermeta. With that in mind I can think of several solutions. First Solution: Pull your authors. You need this … Read more
Based on your comment: I am not trying to detect when I am on a single page but I want to have custom single.php pages like the wp codex says I can by doing single-post_format.php so that I can be able to have control of what you see on the single page for the different … Read more
If you look at the default wpsc-products_page.php template, it uses while (wpsc_have_products()) : wpsc_the_product(); instead of have_posts() and the_posts() to setup the loop. The wpsc_the_product() function sets up a global $wpsc_variations object that the product variation functions use. I think in order to use wpsc_the_product() you need your query to be the global $wp_query, but … Read more
