If, from within single-films.php you filter based on the parent post you should have little issue with this. For example: if( $post->post_parent != 0 ) { // not top level } else { // top level page } If you need to know how deep the page is, that’s a different matter, but that’s also … Read more
It seems from the OPs answer that the problem was not to do with the template, but using an incorrect url. To get the link of a taxonomy term you can use get_term_link(): <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/51240/<?php echo get_term_link($term,”product_category’)?>”><?php echo $term->name; ?></a>
Issue 1: creating the excerpt data This should be fairly easy to do directly with SQL. UPDATE wp_posts AS post INNER JOIN wp_posts AS attachment ON attachment.post_type=”attachment” AND post.ID = attachment.post_parent SET post.post_excerpt = CONCAT(‘<img src=”‘, attachment.guid,'” />’) WHERE post.post_excerpt=””; This is obviously a “one-time fix” that implies you have access to the database. If … Read more
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. When you have an incoming request, WordPress decides what is being requested by matching the URL with these rules. If multiple rules match, the one with … Read more
There was a WordPress 3.4.1 update released a little over a week ago. One of the bugfixes mentioned is “Fixes an issue where a theme’s page templates were sometimes not detected.” Have you tried doing that upgrade yet?
add_action( ‘parse_query’, ‘wpse_60354_archive_category’ ); function wpse_60354_archive_category( $wp_query ) { if ( $wp_query->is_archive() ) $wp_query->set( ‘cat’, ID_OF_CATEGORY ); } Just replace ID_OF_CATEGORY with the ID of your category, obviously 😉
Having Shows as a shared slug for your post type and taxonomy never end well, And you will not be able to do this using WP_Rewrite alone, since it can’t distinguish between term slugs and post slugs. take a look at this similar question which has a few solutions but the suggestion is to use … Read more
I discovered that it isn’t actually a bug. In the loop is_home() will refer to the currently looped object and not to the page that you accessed. In fact that’s handy!
Not sure it is a smart thing* to do but it is possible. The easy solution is to check if you have any posts and if not redirect based on the referer At the top of your code (before the call to get_header) add if ( !have_posts() ) { if (isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’])) { wp_redirect(301,$_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]); } } … Read more
Now, is it possible to check if page is the search page is_search() AND what’s the search string is_search() AND print get_query_var( ‘s’ ) AND how many posts were found? is_search() AND print $GLOBALS[‘wp_query’]->number_posts() … or if you got a custom query… $my_query = new WP_Query( array( /* whatever args */ ) ); is_search() AND … Read more
