Make 1 template, and do a conditional on the meta info to either include a different stylesheet, or a entire different file altogether. $colour = get_post_meta(the_ID(), ‘color’); switch($color) { case ‘red’: include(‘category-car-red.php’); // or just different CSS break; case ‘green’: include(‘category-car-green.php’); // or just different CSS break; // etc }
Yes, even for custom page templates, you will need to have a loop in order to get the title and content. Try the following: <?php /* Template Name: Use Case Template */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <div class=”wrap”> <?php if(have_posts()): while(have_posts()): the_post; ?> <div class=”leftcol”> <h3 class=”usehd”> <?php the_title(); ?> </h3> <div class=”hd-div”> </div> <div … Read more
the answer is yes, yes i can. do love it when i find the answer w/in minutes of posting here. add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘my_template’); function my_template() { if ( is_tax() && in_array(get_query_var(‘taxonomy’), get_object_taxonomies(‘product’) ) ){ include (get_stylesheet_directory(). ‘/product_taxonomy.php’); exit; } }
Use home.php just as Sisir said. Copy the content from index.php to that file and you are all set. home.php tells wordpress that that page should be the homepage in a theme so no backend settings needs to be changed.
I think this is because you use a reserved name: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy#Reserved_Terms Try changing in to something else like: register_taxonomy(‘portfolio_category’, ‘portfolio’, array(‘hierarchical’ => false, ‘label’ => ‘Category’,’query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => true));
That’s because you overrule the query. You have to put the original info into the query_posts like so: <?php global $query_string; query_posts($query_string . ‘posts_per_page=10&paged=’.$paged); ?> For more info look here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Usage_Note
Template pages can only be found in the main directory of a theme. If you want to add template pages NOT found in the theme’s main directory, you will need to use this method and you will need to use it for each template.
I’m not sure if it does exist, but it should. Try it and see. If it does not, you can use if statements within the single-$posttype.php in conjunction with is_page() (and the other conditional tags(http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags), if needed) to duplicate that functionality.
If you’re trying to set a custom homepage or custom blog page template, you should go to Settings > Reading and select the page you created that uses your custom page template:
This is the answer 🙂 <?php if (in_category(array(‘News’, ‘Events’))) : ?>
