Addition note and warning: always always always take backups before doing anything in your database. It’s very easy to do something you didn’t mean to and lose tons of data, especially when dealing with DELETE statements. Also, if your database is using InnoDB for the database engine, you can use transactions via BEGIN, ROLLBACK, and … Read more
Found something that works fine: add_filter( ‘the_category’, ‘remove_category_link_prefix’ ); add_filter( ‘wp_list_categories’, ‘remove_category_link_prefix’ ); function remove_category_link_prefix($output) { $replace = array( ‘View all posts in’, ‘View all posts filed under’ ); return str_replace( $replace, ‘Text you want to show up’, $output); } found here: http://kaspars.net/blog/wordpress/remove-view-all-posts-filed-under-category-widget
There is no child_of argument for wp_get_archives(). How, or why, did you expect that to work? You are attempting to use arguments that don’t exist. That, I suppose, is the answer to the question. The function is ignoring child_of because the argument doesn’t exist. There are a number of filters in wp_get_archives() such as getarchives_where … Read more
Change ‘relation’ => ‘OR’ to ‘relation’ => ‘AND’ to apply both exclusions to all posts returned. It may seem counterintuitive, but a post that satisfies one of the exclusions will be included even if it doesn’t satisfy the other. EDIT From the code linked in your comment below, this is the query being generated: SELECT … Read more
Permalinks are cached in wp_options and every time you update them in the code, you should flush them. Visiting wp-admin/options-permalink.php does the trick. Optionally you can try to resave that page, despite the resave is not needed, but is worth nothing.
Your entry.php template is completely wrong. This should be your loop so to speak. Yet this is more like a page template, that also calls for entry.php. This template should include the call to your the_content(), media files, comments if applicable, and the title, also all other things you might want to include in your … Read more
Category archive pages can be styled using the body class as per your example – WordPress does this out of the box. But for single pages, you need to add this to functions.php: function add_category_name($classes=””) { if(is_single()) { $category = get_the_category(); $classes[] = ‘category-‘.$category[0]->slug; } return $classes; } add_filter(‘body_class’,’add_category_name’); This will add the body class … Read more
As indicated above, I discovered the answer to my own question. You do not need single quotes or brackets around the variable. The fact that the variable is a string itself is sufficient. The correct code is below: <?php $cat = get_the_category(); $catSlug = $cat[0]->slug; $catMenu = $catSlug . “-nav-menu”; $options = array( ‘container’=>’nav’, ‘container_class’=>’menu-header’, … Read more
I first want to jump in and say this, you should not be using query_posts, my emphasis, and stated in the codex as well, and I quote Note: This function isn’t meant to be used by plugins or themes. As explained later, there are better, more performant options to alter the main query. query_posts() is … Read more
You have a few things wrong with you query. I will explain as I go along Firstly, you should never use query_posts to construct custom queries. This is not just my emphasis, but the codex as well. The one big problem with query_posts is, it many circumstances, pagination fails Note: This function isn’t meant to … Read more
