This is the technique I’m using on a site right now. It involves registering a query var for “template”, and registering an endpoint called /contact, which rewrites internally to ?template=contact. Then you just check for that query variable at the template_redirect hook, and if its present, include the page template you want to load and … Read more
There is a huge difference between Post Formats and Post Types. I am assuming you are using post formats, which do not have a default template file for you to use. What you can do though is use has_post_format() to see if the post has the format you are using, and if it does, use … Read more
You can get ID from slug quite easily: $category = get_category_by_slug( ‘clients’ ); wp_list_categories(‘child_of=”.$category->term_id);
Untested, but try: <?php echo get_the_title( get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ) ); ?> But it’s somewhat hackish. Really, the page_on_front and page_for_posts are intended to be nothing more than placeholders for the site front page and blog posts index page.
From your question, it seems you’re trying to override the single template of a custom post type. If so, the filter you want to use is single_template and not page_template: function single_page_template($single_template) { global $post; if ($post->post_type == ‘dwqa-question’) { $single_template = get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/page-question.php’; } return $single_template; } add_filter( ‘single_template’, ‘single_page_template’ ); I once … Read more
Lets break it down step by step: if ($query->is_search && is_page_template(‘search’)) { There are 3 problems here is_page_template search.php isn’t a page template, that’s not how the search template is loaded. So this won’t work. But if it did work, there’s a new problem. Functions such as is_page_template etc rely on the main query, but … Read more

D’oh, it just needs a global as its inside a function. messages.php: <?php global $message; echo $message; ?>
Digging through the source code I couldn’t really find any weird logic that would cause ‘category__in’ to break the ordering of the results. If you do, you might as well file a bug in the WordPress Trac. It’s also hard to reproduce this sort of issue, because it might depend on another issue which is … Read more
TL;TR? Spoiler alert – hover over the next blockquote to expose it. Building an archive that is easily filterable by the currently entered password is nothing that is easy and surely not elegant buildable. The solution involves a secondary query and a small plugin, but it works. All errors and wrong paths are shown as … Read more
