I’d say go with categories: it seems your categories are already being used for ‘back-end’ purposes, so I’d imagine they’re already hidden from the front-end users. Otherwise, go for a custom taxonomy (something like ‘issue’ taxonomy perhaps), which is a bit more work, but gives you a lot more control. Take a look at the … Read more
Making it a taxonomy and allowing the client to edit the term title & description would be an option I’d consider. The theme may or may not be using a custom template-file to control the cpt-archive’s front-end. Using a page-template would be ill-advised because by loading the post-type and the page at the same url, … Read more
I don´t think you can do this within the template overwrite structure of wordpress but you can include a custom template based on the pagination number. if(get_query_var(‘paged’) == 0){ echo “Include your custom theme here”; }else{ echo “standard”; }
We need two functions in the theme’s functions.php: One function checking the length of the content to adjust the title. Another one to print the formatted post content in case the first function returns TRUE. Let’s start with the first function. This is rather simple because we solved that already. 🙂 if ( ! function_exists( … Read more
function archive_links_custom() { global $wpdb, $wp_locale; $query = “SELECT YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type=”post” AND post_status=”publish” GROUP BY YEAR(post_date), MONTH(post_date) ORDER BY post_date DESC”; $arcresults = $wpdb->get_results($query); if ( $arcresults ) { $year = null; foreach ( (array) $arcresults as $arcresult ) { if($arcresult->year != $year) { … Read more
You can do some tricky thing with PHP. Here is the algorithm you could use. Query posts to get posts as alphabetical order. for/while loop starts. $t = Get first character of the title string. $temp = ” empty string. if $t != $temp echo $t. set $t = $temp. endfor/endwhile. Hope it make sense. … Read more
Year, Month and Day are all public query variables, all you need to do is create a search form with appropriately named inputs. <form method=”get” action=”<?php echo home_url( “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ); ?>”> <select name=”day”> <?php foreach( range(1,31) as $day_of_month ) : ?> <option><?php echo $day_of_month; ?></option> <?php endforeach; ?> </select> <select name=”monthnum”> <?php foreach( range(1,12) as … Read more
If memory serves, in_category() is for use within the loop and returns true when the current post is in that particular category. You’re probably for is_category(166).
If this is a true page, then you can get the ID of that specific page with get_queried_object_id(). This works and will return the ID on the specific pages, single, category, taxonomy, tag and author pages where it is used. True date and time archives and the homepage will not have ID’s You can do … Read more
