In order to provide more-specific help, we’ll need to know greater detail regarding exactly what’s happening that you don’t expect, or what’s not happening that you expect to happen, or what is happening differently from what you expect. That said, there are at least two things that will likely help you: Use descriptive and unique … Read more
The dot . in your code is evaluated as string litral, and not concatenation. Meaning if $inpCnt was equal to 5 for example, php will search for name=”scrape[“.5.’][sponsors]’ id= and will fail to find it. You can either remove the dots while still using the double quotes: $sponsors = str_replace( “name=”scrape[“$inpCnt’][sponsors]’ id=”, “name=”scrape[“$inpCnt’][sponsors][]’ multiple=”multiple” size=”19″ … Read more
You have to call the_post() within your loop, otherwise you’ll output the first post in an infinite loop, as have_posts() will always be true. $queryScience->the_post(); Also, you don’t need wp_reset_query() with WP_Query, wp_reset_postdata() is enough.
If you merely want to modify posts_per_page for tag and category archive index pages, don’t use query_posts(); instead, filter the $query via pre_get_posts: function wpse87489_filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( ( is_category() || is_tag() ) && $query->is_main_query ) { $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, ‘2’ ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse87489_filter_pre_get_posts’ );
The in_category( $category ) conditional only returns true when the current post has the specified category assigned. If you want to determine when you are on a category archive index page, you should instead use is_category( $category ): if ( is_category( ‘Restaurant Reviews’ ) ) { // The current page is the Restaurant Reviews // … Read more
You are already using the get_term_by() method in your code. That’s the way to get information about your category, i.e.: $myterm = get_term_by(‘id’, $cat_id, ‘category’); if ( $myterm ) { echo $myterm->name; } PS. I used ‘category’ as taxonomy, you might have a different term (i.e. ad_cat).
If you’re in the loop, simply use get_categories().
If it doesn’t work, chances are you do not have at least one post linked to that specific category 4. If you wanted to sort by DESC and by date, you wouldn’t have to specify those as arguments in the query because those are both the defaults for sorting. Also, instead of initializing a WP_Query … Read more
Before line # 43, call wp_reset_query like the following and it should fix your repeated post problem <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> Ref: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_query
Just change your query to search for the category you want. $qry = new WP_Query(‘category_name=paparazzi&showposts=1′); while($qry->have_posts()) : $qry->the_post(); That should most likely be all you need to do. And please don’t use query_posts. It alters the main query and can break things.
