The basic answer – you can easily load template (or any PHP file really) with *drumroll*load_template(). 🙂 As for best way to implement your custom feed, I think it would make sense to do it by analogue with native WP feeds. You register feed name and handler function with add_feed() and load template in that … Read more
I think it might be as simple as you needing to set the Page Template to “recordingsPage” as you can see in the following screenshots: (source: mikeschinkel.com) (source: mikeschinkel.com) UPDATE Looking again at your code it seems you define your post type as plural (‘recordings’) and yet you refer to it as singular (‘recording’) in … Read more
Using the “more” tag does not create an excerpt. It simply creates a “Read More” link when displaying the_content() on index pages. Excerpts are created/displayed as follows: To display an excerpt, your template file needs to call “the_excerpt()” rather than “the_content()”. Note: you use the equivalent $post->post_excerpt, which should also work just fine. The “the_excerpt()” … Read more
This isn’t really WordPress specific, but from the server perspective it would add additional http requests for visitors to load additional css files, versus pulling the same site-wide css file from cache. From a css perspective, I prefer to keep it all in one file. Some people prefer to organize things differently, like all text … Read more
Why not use the body class to target these elements with CSS. You could do something like the following and make your PHP a little cleaner. .product-item{width:33%;} .home .product-item{width:25%;}
I was having the same problem as the OP, when working in a child theme and copying the sidebar-page.php file to make my own template file (named register.php). Then I noticed in the original template pages, in the body tag there is a class ‘.page-template-sidebar-page-php’ whereas in my new template it was showing up as … Read more
You should remove $query_string from the template. the Quesry string contains params specific to your page… your loop should look like this: <?php query_posts(“posts_per_page=10&cat=3&orderby=asc&paged=”.get_query_var(‘paged’)); if (have_posts()): while(have_posts()): the_post(); <!– your custom data here –> the_title(); the_content(); endwhile; endif; ?>
If you want to produce a page in WordPress whose structure and content are dynamically generated independent of the regular posts handling mechanism then: Create a new page with title “My Custom Page“. This generates the page slug ‘my-custom-page‘ by default. In the root of your active theme folder eg. \wp-content\themes\twentyeleven\ create a page template … Read more
The snippet from codex is a bit redundant in your case. You can achieve what you need, by using snippets like these: index.php $mainpage = get_page_by_title( ‘ROOT’ ); $the_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_parent’ => $mainpage->ID, ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ) ); $index = 0; while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); echo ‘<section class=”page’ . get_the_ID() … Read more
It sounds like you are talking about this page display template: page-{slug}.php – If the page slug is recent-news, WordPress will look to use page-recent-news.php And you want single-{cpt-slug}-{slug}.php. If so, I believe you can approximate that page template handling with the following: function cpt_slug_template_wpse_117630($template) { global $post; $templ = locate_template(‘single-‘.$post->post_type.’-‘.$post->post_name.’.php’); if ( ‘book’ == … Read more
