Here’s a function to print the URI of the first page using an “Archive” page template. It assumes the template is named template-archive.php (don’t name it archive.php and hijack the Template Hierarchy!). You can either drop this in functions.php and call it in a template or you can just use the code within the function … Read more
I feel bad for answering my own question on here, but here’s what I did. I created a custom search template, a custom searchform.php and changed my header.php to reflect my custom search page. What I did is rename the search box names to search instead of s to get around WordPress automatically running search.php … Read more
I’m having trouble doing the same for a page that is called from WP Settings as the “Posts Page”. Let’s say at the top of the “Blog” page (a WordPress page), I want some intro text to the blog that says, “Welcome to the blog. Please check out new posts below.” Instead of hardcoding that … Read more
There is a parameter in WP_Query called post_parent. Normally this refers to the ID of the post’s parent, but since its an integer field, pages without a parent have in essence a post_parent of 0.

If your theme and template are coded properly they make use of body_class() function, that will output number of classes for you to make use of in page source. View source of your page and <body> tag to see what you have … Read more
If you know the page ID, the simplest answer would be to get the content for the page. // This retrieves the content from the post or page where ID = $page_id. // You can either set this above here, or call get_the_content(12). Your choice. $parent_page_content = get_the_content($page_id) // Clean it up and make it … Read more
You’re missing part of your post <div> Look through your loop and you’ll see something that’s not closed or something. It will more than likely look like this <?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>> When it needs to be something like <div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>> Hope that helps.
When you use pretty permalinks, WordPress creates a set of rules for each type of content. These rules define a pattern that each type of content’s URL’s will follow.
