Your page.php template should be looking something like that. <?php get_header(); ?> <div id=”content”> <?php while ( have_posts() … Read more
Is it possible to change the post IDs within the wp_posts table without causing problems? No it is not. If you change a posts ID, you then have to go through and fix other things: the post meta key/value pairs would no longer have the correct ID All terms in taxonomies such as categories and … Read more
You shouldn’t change serialised PHP data structures directly. Serialised data contains the length of each value, and by changing a section of text, that length is no longer correct, and PHP runs into a fatal error and crashes.

Using the code you linked as a base: $numposts = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status=”publish” AND year(post_date) = 2010″); if (0 < $numposts) $numposts = number_format($numposts); The ‘AND’ I added basically gives you all the posts of 2010. Change the year accordingly

I can’t find a function shipped with WordPress that does this, so I created my own: function esc_sql_name( $name ) { return str_replace( “`”, ““”, $name ); } You can use it like this: $escaped_name = esc_sql_name( $column_name ); $sql = $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT * FROM example WHERE `$escaped_name` = %s”, $foobar ); Reference: MySQL documentation … Read more
the recommended way is: <?php $query = new WP_Query(‘category_name=Category&posts_per_page=4’); if($query->have_posts()) : while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); if (has_post_thumbnail()) { ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/162985/<?php the_permalink(” ‘) ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a> <?php } ?> <h2><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/162985/<?php the_permalink(” ‘) ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <?php the_excerpt(); // or the_content(); for full post content endwhile;endif; ?>
