What kind of WordPress function do you use to show the page contents?
I used the_content to show the post contents, but what about the page contents?
I have tried everything, but I haven't found a function that displays the page contents of WordPress.
Also, I have created a basic page.php file, and in the file I have:
<div id="pages">
<li><?php wp_list_pages() ?></li>
</div>
Now, why do my index.php have my list of pages even though I didn't use the inlcude or require function?
Keep in mind I created my own theme and site, and I'm trying to put it in WordPress for the first time.
Thanks!!
The function wp_list_pages() lists all the pages. If you want to list all the recent posts you should use
index.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); // If you have sidebar ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
page.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); // If you have sidebar ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I have some categories like about-us, services etc and want to show different templates for these categories. I have read from wp site to make files name like category-slug.php where slug may be about-us or services. I made these files but they didn't worked for me. Instead of these templates the index file displays the posts. I want to display posts from these categories in custom files.
Can any one tell me how to do this?
Are you looking for something like this?
<?php /*
Template Name: ListPostsInCategoryThatHasSameNameAsPage
*/ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div id="main">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: endif; ?>
<?php query_posts('category_name='.get_the_title().'&post_status=publish,future');?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p><?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I'm using the following page template to display the posts in a single category and plan to format the first post differently than the others. This works as desired but I have the category_name hard coded in the template. I want to use this template for several different categories and would like to learn how to pass the category_name to the template from a link.
For example, the link to the desired page using the special template is http://wildcatweb.net/5th/ and '5th' is also the category_name. How do I tell the template to get the category_name from the URL and use it in the template?
<?php
/*
Template Name: pageAssignments
*/ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="small-12 large-8 columns" id="content" role="main">
<header>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
</header>
<!-- show latest post FULL -->
<?php query_posts('showposts=1&category_name=5th'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="lastest-post">
<h2 class="pagetitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div><!--close .latest-post -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?><!-- end lastest post -->
<!-- show older post excerpts -->
<?php query_posts('showposts=5&offset=1&category_name=5th'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="older-post">
<h3 class="pagetitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!--.older-post -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?><!-- end past-entry -->
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
try this :
$current_url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$category_name = explode ('',$current_url);
$category_name = $category_name['3'];
query_posts('showposts=1&category_name='. $category_name);
I wish to use the Pinbin theme for my Wordpress blog only. I have created a custom theme for everything else, but for the blog, I would like to use this theme.
I took the main index php file from this template, along with the header and footer files. I renamed the header and footer files, and changed the header/footer calls to these files rather than the ones used by the rest of the site.
I assigned the theme to a page, but it's not showing any posts. The code is as follows:
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<div id="post-area">
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<div class="pinbin-image"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'summary-image' ); ?></div>
<div class="pinbin-category"><p><?php the_category(', ') ?></p></div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="pinbin-copy"><h2><a class="front-link" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p class="pinbin-date"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?> </p>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p class="pinbin-link">→</p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Any ideas on why I'm not seeing anything?
Thanks, S
The index.php file is used as a backup if there's no other template defined, you'll have to edit a different file if you want to edit a certain page type. See template hierarchy in the WordPress codex.

You forgot an endif; at the bottom of your file.
I am new to wordpress and i'm creating a site using wordpress.
You can see the mock up page here http://www.site2preview.com/veejata/ver1/index.html
And i've changed the index.php as
<?php
get_header();
//get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
?>
<div class="flt_left">
//dummy welcome text ..
</div>
<div class="flt_left">
//dummy latest post..
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_advt(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Now i want to know how to create a custom page or block and how can i include them in the index.page..
Also i want the user should be able to edit the dummy welcome text from the admin panel..
In general i want to how to split the contents in the wordpress and how to make them editable by admin and how to include them in the pages...
This is what you should have in your simple index.php file (from wordpress classic theme):
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h3 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?>
— <?php the_tags(__('Tags: '), ', ', ' — '); ?>
<?php the_author() ?> #
<?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>
<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>
<div class="feedback">
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'),
__('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
I would suggest you to read this first: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
So I have a page called "latest news" and using a custom template t_latest_news.php
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="latest-news" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit this page','<p class="edit-link">','</p>'); ?>
</div><!-- /.latest-news -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
I've created a page item and put some content into that page. Now, I want to show the content on the sidebar. How can I do that please?
I've tried something like:
<?php include(get_query_template('t_latest_news.php')); ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . 't_latest_news.php'); ?>
<?php get_query_template('t_latest_news.php') ?>
<?php get_template_part( 't_latest_news.php' ); ?>
But none of them works. HELP!
<?php query_posts('page_id=76'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
It works with "page_id" but not pagename. any idea?
To query a specific page by name you do this:
<?php
query_posts('pagename=about'); //retrieves the about page only
?>
You should remove the .php at the end so that it reads t_latest_news
I was just showing this as an example, please be advised:
The query_posts function is intended to be used to modify the main page Loop only. It is not intended as a means to create secondary Loops on the page. If you want to create separate Loops outside of the main one, you should use get_posts() instead. Use of query_posts on Loops other than the main one can result in your main Loop becoming incorrect and possibly displaying things that you were not expecting.
