The only required template in a WordPress theme is the index.php. And a comments.php if comments are supported. Following the template hierarchy, all other files, including page.php, will fall back to the index.php. When a theme doesn’t have a page.php, look at the index.php. There you will find the basic structure for its content. In … Read more
This is how to code the shortcode function foobar_func( $atts ){ return “foo and bar”; } add_shortcode( ‘foobar’, ‘foobar_func’ ); And to execute a function using output buffering add_shortcode( ‘shortcode_tag’, ‘function_name’ ); function function_name($atts) { ob_start(); // Add your code $var = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $var; }
It turns out the WordPress permalink structure works perfectly well for custom types, e.g. example.com/recipes/lunch/sandwich/. This works exactly as expected if you set ‘hierarchical’ => true. What I was originally trying to do was unnecessarily difficult to execute, and requires properly setting up a custom permalink structure to avoid 404 errors. I advise you stick … Read more
It looks like you’re checking if you’re on the mobile_photo post type archive with this line: <?php elseif ( is_page_template( ‘archive-mobile_photo.php’ ) ) : ?> If that’s indeed the case, use is_post_type_archive( $post_types ) instead: <?php elseif ( is_post_type_archive( ‘mobile_photo’ ) ) : ?>
Paste this into your page template. It will output a list of all posts (without pagination). <?php // the query $all_posts = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1 ) ); if ( $all_posts->have_posts() ) : ?> <ul> <?php while ( $all_posts->have_posts() ) : $all_posts->the_post(); ?> <li><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/240419/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php … Read more
Found a way. Create a regular page for 404 content, say ‘Page not found’; In your 404.php file, get that page data and then write down your content or whatever… For example: $page = get_page_by_title(“Page not found”); if($page) echo apply_filters(‘the_content’,$page->post_content); Obviously, you can do a lot more…
When at least one template exists for a post type, the ‘Post Attributes’ meta box will be displayed in the back end, without the need to add post type support for ‘page-attributes’. The title ‘Post Attributes’ can be customized per post type using the ‘attributes’ label when registering a post type. Templates for custom post … Read more
10 is the default page length which is taken from the WordPress settings. It’s a little bit hidden but there in the docs for WP Query there’s a parameter posts_per_page which can be set to -1 to get all posts, so you just need to add that to the arguments to pass to WP_Query. (If … Read more
To use shortcode in a PHP file (outside the post editor) you have the handy little function do_shortcode(); so in your case you use: <?php do_shortcode(‘[mingleforum]’); ?> Update: following the first comment, I figured its publicly known for some reason, if you are expecting output from the shortcode then echo it out. <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[mingleforum]’); … Read more
This might work: add_filter(‘page_template’, ‘custom_page_template’); function custom_page_template($template){ // check your permalink here if(get_query_var(‘pagename’) === ‘stories’) return locate_template(array(‘page2.php’, ‘page.php’)); return $template; }
