I'm searching for an alternativ view of the archiv output page.
So if you click on a archiv link you get a view e.g. of the Month.
And exactly this Page where i get the filtered output i want to apply some changes.
So i mean not:
wp_get_archives()
Best regards Illu
If you just want to make a few small changes, then just filter it with the wordpress function is_archive(), e.g.
<?php if (is_archive()) { ?>
Say hello to the archeologist users
<?php } ?>
...otherwise, if you want to have a completly different template for that page, then just create a file called archive.php in your theme directory. Hope I understood your question right :)
Some more resources for the is_archive() function is to be found here - well explained examples. And some more information about template files are here

It seems like a simple task, but I'm having difficult time finding any information on this. Basically I have an "Events" page created in wordpress to which I want to create a link on my main page. I do not want it to be static like (https://mysite.com/events). Is there a way to do it dynamically?
You want to use the get_permalink() function to write the link - http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink
This function accepts an argument which is the post or page ID (and defaults to the ID of the current page), so if your Events page is ID #11, it would look like to following to also have the link text match the page title (should it change to "Events!" in the future, for example):
<?php $events_page = get_post(11); ?>
<?php echo $events_page->post_title; ?>
How to take on a problem in WordPress admin editing.
I'd like to edit an edit-category admin panel to add a featured image to it (just like in posts), but I'm a bit indecisive since a lot of people use a custom field with static path to a photo, but I'm wondering is there a way to do it better(enable some wp hook and such).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for the plugin it seems good, but i have one additional problem. It seems i have a lack of knowledge on how to query an object [category] so i can apply filters, hope im making some sense. This is done on my home.php. all dumps are null
<?php get_header();
$listcat = get_categories('hide_empty=0');
foreach($listcat as $x){
$img = apply_filters( 'taxonomy-images-queried-term-image', '');
var_dump($img);
}
get_footer(); ?>
The same code works with no problems if i stick it in category.php. Any ideas? :)
i've used several times the plugin "Taxonomy Images". it works with multi-language wp installs too.

I want to know how to make an archive page like instantshift has made.. link below..
http://www.instantshift.com/archive/
I have made everything but don't know the query to specify the orderly archives listing
I use Viper Bond's Clean Archives for a similar effect: http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/clean-archives-reloaded. I like that the jQuery effect only shows when you activate the plugin in a page.
You could also use <?php wp_get_archives( $args ); ?> as found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_archives
Don't forget to not leave wordpress.stackexchange.com lonely too!
I am currently building a new theme for my site and am kind of stuck not knowing the proper way to link pages together. What is the proper way to direct visitor to another page if I were to write the link straight into footer.php?
Let's consider the following inside footer.php:
?>
A Link
<?php
That would work well up until I were to change my permalink structure to something else.
What is the proper way to do it(without using WP built in menus or anything similar)?
You can use get_permalink assuming your pages are in Wordpress.
See this link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink
The above answer is 100% correct, but to save people some time when they stumble upon this question, I took the liberty of writing it out.
<?php echo get_the_title(12); ?>
This covers everything from hover text to dynamic page title, so if you decide to change "Contact" to "Contact Us," you won't have to remember to update the footer.php file.
I use Barecity Theme for WordPress. i built everything, but now i need to add a single.php file to theme. now it displays all post content at homepage, I created a short_desc Custom Field. and I call it from code with;
<?php //get_post_meta($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
