Your code should hook the CPT registration to init, though I don’t know if that is part of the issue. Your code is relatively simple, and it works just fine for me when I test it. Unless you’ve altered the main query, on the /books/accepting-yourself archive page the Loop you’ve posted should return: The published … Read more
It’s probably messed up cause the CSS styles doesn’t conform to the other theme’s styles. As far as I understand your question, I would suggest to send the data in a custom shortcode and post that to the page’s content editor field. You can load a custom style for the output with the plugin. Hope … Read more
It could have been disabled in the “screen options” dropdown at the top of the page. But, if it hasn’t, and you need to only affect one page, then you can use the naming convention of “page-(ID).php” or “page-(slug).php” outlined here, however this can cause frustration if you try to change a template after the … Read more
Don’t use a query variable that is used by the WordPress Core. That is, none of these. You are using year. WordPress will latch onto that and process the request according its internal systems. Try something more distinct like hmg_year.

Using page templates for the blog posts index bypasses the core handling for display of the blog posts index (which per the template hierarchy uses either home.php or index.php to render). Edit I never…said that I want to change … Read more
You’ve registered your sidebars with the ids of sidebar-left and sidebar-right but you are are attempting to display them using only left and right. You need to use the correct ids. That is: dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-left’ ); You need that id with both dynamic_sidebar() and is_active_sidebar() if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-left’ ) ) { dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-left’ ); … Read more
You shouldn’t be including jQuery explicitly. WP ships with a copy and multiple copies tend to mess things up. See wp_enqueue_script(). You shouldn’t be trying to load PHP file inside a theme directly. It won’t load WordPress environment that way (unless it tries to do so explicitly, which is usually very fragile and pretty much … Read more
