In Wordpress I have custom template that I apply to pages. This template has number of metaboxes where user can add values. This works fine when post is published, I cannot figure out however the way on how to make content of these metaboxes to show in preview when I click "Preview" button from page editing view in wordpress admin. If someone could point me to right direction that would be much appreciated
You can use
<?php if(is_preview() ) : ?>
//some logical part here
<?php endif; ?>

I have an issue with Polylang and custom archive page template. On my main language my archive page shows page content but on second language it starts looping trough posts.
<?php
/* Template Name: Archive Page Custom */
get_header();
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>
<?php
get_footer(); ?>
What causes this?
Cheers
I have solved this. It turns out that under Polylang settings I had to uncheck my custom taxonomies because it completely breaks the site.
EDIT: Never mind this doesn't work because as I turn it off it shows posts from all languages on my archive first page. So it still has to be turned off to filter posts between languages.
So the issue remains. Archive page with default language loads content in from the page and secondary language shows posts for some reason instead of content.
EDIT: It was a conflict with archive-portfolio.php template and also I had custom post type slug named same as my secondary translation so the page broke. I had to rename my archive-portfolio.php template to portfoliotemplate.php and it works now.
I am not sure what I am missing. Please guide me and I apologize if my knowledge is too less.
I have a home template file i.e. template-home.php which actually contains nothing for now and is only containing the following lines ->
<?php
/**
* This is the front page code
* Template Name: HomePage
*/
get_header();
get_footer();
?>
I have created a page from wp admin and given the page title "Home" then I selected template "Homepage" for this page I have created from wp admin. Hence I have set the static front page to display "Home". Its perfectly showing the Home page as front page. But when I am giving any content in the edit box of the page "Home" from wp-admin and updating, those contents are not displaying in frontend. But if I put any content in the "Homepage" template , only then its getting displayed. I am giving an example what I tried below-
When I am giving the following in the page edit box then nothing is displayed in real.
[rev_slider_vc alias="homebanner" title="Home Slideshow"]
For your information the above is shortcode of revolution slider which is working perfectly , if I use it in any post. So the shortcode has no error for sure. Another thing whatever I write in the content box is actually not getting displayed in real.
Now the slider code, if I am putting directly into the Home template i.e. template-home.php then slider is getting displayed. The code is as follows ->
<?php
/**
* This is the front page code
* Template Name: HomePage
*/
get_header();
// Revolution Slider
putRevSlider('homebanner', 'homepage');
get_footer();
?>
Though my purpose is getting served well by putting code into the template file directly. But I want that the content I put in the edit box of the page from wp admin can get displayed in real. So what I need to do for that ?
Read https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop and https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_content/
You need a loop and you need the_content to grab the content from the text editor.
A very basic example:
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) {
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
//
// Post Content here
the_content();
//
} // end while
} // end if
?>
Work with that first with some plain text to test the loop.
Then add your shortcode for the slider [rev_slider_vc alias="homebanner" title="Home Slideshow"] in the text editor. And, look at the docs for the slider on how to place the function putRevSlider('homebanner', 'homepage'); directly in the page template file, if you want to do that rather than using the shortcode in the editor.
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development for how WordPress themes are structured and the types of basic files you need in each theme, i.e. index.php, style.css, etc.
I'm designing a website using WordPress. I want to know how to remove the post and comment boxes which is available by default in WordPress...and also I want to know how to add plugin's in that static page
First, create page with name "Home", insert shortcode of plugin or anything you want.
Second, go to Apperance, choose Customize. At Static Front Page, tick A static page radio button, choose "Home" from dropdown list Front page. Save.
In order to remove comments yoy must select the "Screen options" in the post editor (it's an option located at top-right on the screen) and check the Comments checkbox. Then at the editor's bottom you'll find a box with a checkbox to disable comments.
If you're working in Wordpress.com you cannot add plugin's for free. This is for security reasons. You must install Worpress in your own server to do that.
Ok, as per your comments on main question, I understand you want to remove posts and comment box on public facing page, not in WP-Admin panel.
I am giving you an overview of how you can proceed.
If you are using default TwentyThirteen thee then just remove this part from single.php
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php twentythirteen_post_nav(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This will remove post and comments template.
However I will recommend you to use custom page templates rather :
http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates
Here you'll find way to add custom page templates. There you can remove posts and comments :-)
Im using the theme HTML 5 Blank (http://html5blank.com/) with WordPress 3.7.1.
On my page I want to display everthing from the posts, text and images.
In the settings in wordpress admin i have it set on show hole post but it does not work.
I have olso deleted the php code in the loop that inserts the excerpt from the theme. Sitt not workning. Any ideas? I can send code if you want, for now i do not know what code can be usefull.
Jim
Replace <?php the_excerpt() ?>and add the following code to your theme's loop.
<?php the_content(); ?>
That should display the content, rather that the excerpt.
I use Barecity Theme for WordPress. i built everything, but now i need to add a single.php file to theme. now it displays all post content at homepage, I created a short_desc Custom Field. and I call it from code with;
<?php //get_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_desc', true); ?>
it is fine. but i need to display this short desc at home page listing, and the main content at details page. how can do that?
I appreciate helps!!
It sounds like what you are trying to do is show a custom field that you have set on a post on the index page (which lists all the posts).
To do that you'll need to modify index.php by adding your snippet where you would like to have the short description.
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_desc', true); ?>
You need to use echo to display the results from the get_post_meta function.
Depending on how your posts are setup you can also use the More button when you write your posts. This will cut off your post at a certain point that you decide and only show that short part on the index and archive pages.
Another option would be to use
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Which shows the first 55 words (this can be adjusted though) of the post.
Hope that helps,
Paul
