I am currently using wordpress for the website development and i want to change this page's formatting which is having url
http://www.selfmadesounds.com/dev3/?catid=featured&slg=featured3
I need to change this page's formatting such that i can exclude out the extra things from this page.
you are probably looking for category.php.
If you are a beginner with templating / themes / wp in general, you can simply search for class="category" and add a small string INSIDE the div in all of the template files where the search hit, one by one , and see which one is the one you look for .
You can insert <? php echo 'This is my page'; > or simply insert XXXXXX.
but just make sure you are not doing so in header.php, sidebar.php or footer.php - those will in all likelihood will appear on ALL your pages . ( also functions.php is to be excluded , but not in all cases ..)
but like others said, you should read the codex page about template hierarchy. it can also be any other filename (custom-loops.php file, custom-category-filename.php etc. depending on theme.
Edit I
I think you are mixing a bit of concepts here .
this line :
http://www.selfmadesounds.com/dev3/?catid=featured&slg=featured3
Is not a page, it is a URL with get parameters , and it represents a query for category : Featured with Slug : featured3 .
As for itself , it is NOT a page , it is a Query ( and i suspect that it is a plugin or theme related ). The query later produces , or renders a page .
At any rate , my advice still stands , Put a dummy code inside all the template pages and see which ones is your page .
For the rest - if you will supply more info or code , people could help more .
You have to check the Wordpress Template Hierarchy, a quick guess would be single.php from the active theme, but there is no way to be sure other than actually searching in the theme

I'm trying to hide certain posts from displaying on the site using custom code. I CANNOT USE A PLUGIN!
I would like to do something like IF the page is named the-hidden-page do not display it anywhere on the site BUT someone can access it using a URL... For example, http://thedomain/the-hidden-page.
I haven't been successful finding sample code except for this -
<?php if (is_front_page() && !is_paged()
) $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-33,-66'); ?>
This code is using category names rather than page names. Also if I used the code above I'm not sure where to add it to. I tried function.php but that didn't work.
Can someone provide an example of how the code could be written to hide post with a certain name?
Also tell me in what file I should add your code to?
I have a child theme that uses the new Jetpack Portfolio Project custom post type and wish to modify archive.php to display custom results.
I'm using: WordPress v3.9.2; Theme: Child of Point, Jetpack is installed with Custom Content Types enabled, and Portfolio Projects selected in the Settings. (No other plugins that implement portfolio functionality are installed.)
According to the Codex:
Template Files
In the same way single posts and their archives can be displayed using
the single.php and archive.php template files, respectively,
single posts of a custom post type will use single-{post_type}.php
and their archives will use archive-{post_type}.php
and if you don't have this post type archive page you can pass BLOG_URL?post_type={post_type}
where {post_type} is the $post_type argument of the
register_post_type() function.
My understanding is that if you create files called single-jetpack-portfolio.php and archive-jetpack-portfolio.php within the child theme, WordPress will automatically use those files in place of single.php and archive.php respectively.
However, my child theme successfully calls single-jetpack-portfolio.php, but completely ignores archive-jetpack-portfolio.php, instead calling archive.php in the child.
I am stuck for a solution.
From the codex above, adding to the URL "?post_type=jetpack-portfolio" does cause the child theme to correctly use archive-jetpack-portfolio.php, but should I need to be manually modifying every single URL to explicitly specify this? Should WordPress not automatically be detecting this, as it does for the single-jetpack-portfolio.php file? How can I solve this?
I have tried:
Resetting the permalinks in case it was related to that (changing the option in Settings and saving and back again)
Adding an archive.php file to the child in addition to archive-jetpack-portfolio.php (I initially didn't have an archive.php in the child, so it used the parent's archive.php)
Publishing a new Jetpack portfolio project and updating an existing page (I read somewhere that publishing something might trigger Wordpress to see the changes)
Thanks in advance for any help.
I had the same problem described by the OP. When I visited mydomain.com/portfolio it would use the custom archive template. When I tried to view a project type it defaulted to the regular archive.php. I'm wondering if OP was viewing a project type page without realizing it.
My solution was to create a taxonomy template file. After playing around with it I figured out that
taxonomy.php
taxonomy-jetpack-portfolio-type.php
taxonomy-jetpack-portfolio-type-{name-of-project-type}.php
all worked correctly, depending on how specific you wanted to get.
There's more info at the wordpress codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Custom_Taxonomies_display
Hope this helps someone.
I will be working on this the next days.
You should try this in the child archive.php first lines:
<?php
if( is_post_type_archive('jetpack-portfolio') )
get_template_part('content', 'jetpack-portfolio');
elseif( is_tax('jetpack-portfolio-type') || is_tax('jetpack-portfolio-tag') )
get_template_part('archive', 'jetpack-portfolio');
else continue;
?>
Here's my issue. My company needs a vendor database added to our wordpress website. None of the existing plugins will even come close to what we need, and we already have a mysql database with all of our information, so we need to create a plugin or something to do what we need.
These urls need to be direct-accessible and have SEF urls. So, for example:
mysite.com/vendors/
mysite.com/vendors/pipe-manufacturers/
mysite.com/vendor/bobs-pipes/
And, the custom content needs to appear inside the wordpress template.
There are really 2 options:
1) Find a way to write our application outside of wordpress, but find a way to bootstrap wordpress to show the header, footer, and sidebar.
2) Run the app from inside wordpress.
So I went for option #2. I created a new template file named "vendor.php", and began working. I added this code to my functions.php of my theme:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'xyz_template_check' );
function xyz_template_check() {
global $template;
$rqst = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$ra = split("/", $rqst);
if ($ra[1] == "vendors") {
$template_file = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/vendors.php';
return $template_file;
}
return $template;
}
So what the above code does, if it sees the word "vendors" as the first part of the url after the site name, it sends you to vendor.php. This works PERFECTLY....
except...
Wordpress believes that the page is not found. It returns a 404 header, and NOT FOUND into the page title and breadcrumb.
Adding a PAGE called "Vendor Database" with the permalink "/vendors/" fixes the main page. But there will be literally hundreds of vendors and different categories. I cant be creating a custom page for each one. This needs to be dynamic.
So, how do I make wordpress give a 200, and supply an acceptable page title, breadcrumb, etc.
Don't even get me started on the danged wp_title filter. This did NOT work as documented. Although, it just occurred to me that this might be an issue with Wordpress SEO (the wp_title filter issue).
Anyone got an idea on this?
Ok got this. The solution was to use the rewrite api, as mentioned above, to look for the pattern /vendors/, letting it know that it was a valid URL. Coupled with my existing template override, this is what I needed.
I've been using the Headway theme to create a website. I used different posts to populate the site with content: using custom queries to single-out posts and display them in appropriate places in my layout.
https://204.140.22.120/
What I want to do is remove the permalinks from the post titles, because they're not supposed to lead to pages that display single posts.
But headway isn't using the standard .php file structure, so I can't remove "get_permalink" from each custom loop.
Is there a way to globally remove permalinks, or some other way to alter the many custom query loops in my site?
Thank you.
I think you would have to login via FTP and edit this file:
wp-content/themes/headway/library/blocks/core/content/content-display.php
From there look for this line (around line 363 - do a find on the word "bookmark" and you should find it)
$post_title_link = '' . $post_title . '';
and replace it with:
$post_title_link = $post_title;
Hope this helps ;)
I am trying to add a button to my WordPress template. Basically, I have the post and then there is the Related Posts Thumbnails widget that appears. I want the button to go between the text of the post and the related posts thumbnail widget. The code in my 'Single Post' that contains all of this is as follows:
<div class="post-content">
<?php the_content(__('<em><strong>More:</strong> Read the rest of this entry...</em>', 'life-is-simple')); ?>
</div>
I know the Related Posts Thumbnails plugin falls within this code because it's at that place when I 'Inspect Element' on Google Chrome. I can't find how to edit the order of things within that div though. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
EDIT
Clarification: I am using the Life Is Simple WordPress theme although it has been custom editing quite a bit (mostly on the CSS side of things though).
That plugin is probably appending the output to the_content with a filter .
That means , that the output is being added to the_content automatically. it is a common behaviour.
You need to look at the plugin´s admin interface to see if you can have an alternative way (I believe there is ) which is using a template tag. in that case, you should put the template tag after the div where the the_content() is .
EDIT I :
After a small dig, - in fact there is - you need to put
<?php get_related_posts_thumbnails(); ?>
Then the plugin should know by itself not to append to the_content.
For parameter passing, or if something is not working, go read their APi or help files.
You'll probably need to edit single.php or archive.php in your theme. If nothing is occuring there that looks familiar, it's probably using a loop. In which case you might find what you are looking for either in loop.php, loop-single.php, or loop-archive.php depending on what type of page you are on and how the theme was constructed. Add your button near where you find Read the rest of this entry...
With more information (such as what theme you are using), one might be able to help more as well.
