stuck with template hierarchy
I found a solution by changing my categories.php to category-slug.php and then putting the standard loop back into the the category.php file. All seems good now.

Exclude Authors based off date of last post
So far as I know there is no ‘last posted on’ value saved for a user. You can find that information by referencing the post_date in the *_posts table against the author data in *_users and *_usermeta. With that in mind I can think of several solutions. First Solution: Pull your authors. You need this … Read more
Displaying posts limit: can’t get pagination to display [duplicate]
Try reviewing this page on the codex. Using your above template, I would suggest the following: <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’, ‘author’ => get_current_user_id(), // Removes a few lines of code 😉 ); $author_posts = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> <?php /* Author has posts? */ ?> <?php … Read more
One loop for sticky, one for all the rest – how, without specifying category?
you can get the category ID of a category archive with: get_query_var(‘cat’)
the loop – how to control whether wp or plug-in runs it
The problem was in my the loop.php file, i was executing a new loop using the wordpress parameters for the main loop, which caused a duplication with the plugin being used (thecartpress) which executes its own loop. I was using: global $post, $query_string, $discTheme; query_posts($query_string); in a sense, with thecartpresses own loop, I was duplicating … Read more
get all page templates
Only the page post type can have a template assigned (of the default post types), it’s the custom template you set in the Page Attributes meta box.

Pages with a loop (index, archive) are loading the first image as post_thumbnail
Your theme uses a custom function to get the first image, if you post your index.php codes here you maybe find someone to help.
Change the way wordpress outputs images or image galleries
After some research, I came up with a solution that worked for me. It’s nice because it’s not using the WP Gallery (you don’t need to insert a gallery into your post/page to make it work). It’s awesome because you can do whatever you want inside the “images loop”. Note: the ‘preview’ in $size=”preview” is … Read more
Custom loop page with post navigation
I ended up creating two loops and utilizing anchors. I’m not sure if it’s the most efficient way of doing things, however, it works. add_action( ‘genesis_post_content’, ‘child_do_content’ ); // Adds your custom page code/content function child_do_content() {?> <ul class=”multicol”> <?php $custom_query = new WP_Query(array(‘orderby’ => ‘title’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’,’cat=5′)); while($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();?> <li><a href=”#<?php the_title(); … Read more
Loop not showing up on page template
Firstly, use WP_query instead of query_posts: Secondly, for (static) pages use the variable ‘page’ (not ‘paged’). $my_query = new WP_query( ‘post_type=post&posts_per_page=5&paged=’ .get_query_var(‘page’) ); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); the_title(); endwhile;
