For some reason (probably something stupid on my part) this page only displays the last 5 posts from it's category with no navigation to older posts http://www.nexoakland.com/nexness
any advice I'd appreciate
(I already tried upping the post # in the admin and adding
// create the navigation below the content
thematic_navigation_below();
to the template.
)
do you have more than 5 posts in the category?
There are 10.
Here's the code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Nexness
*/
?>
<?php
// calling the header.php
get_header();
?>
<div id="content-menu-page">
<?php $posts = get_posts('category=3'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<div class="entry-title">
<h4>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h4>
</div><!-- entry-title -->
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
</div> <!-- entry-content -->
</div><!-- content-menu-page -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
// calling footer.php
get_footer();
?>What's REALLY frustrating is I fixed this problem once before but I forgot what I did. Maybe a cocktail will jar my memory.
well i had to ask the obvious. :)
i think start_wp() is deprecated and should no longer be used (according to a quick google search)
try
$args = array( 'category' => 3 );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>difference being setup_postdata($post) instead
from the codex on get_posts()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_posts
Still not working, maybe I included it wrong?
`<?php
/*
Template Name: Nexness
*/
?>
<?php
// calling the header.php
get_header();
?>
<div id="content-menu-page">
<?php $args = array( 'category' => 3 );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class="entry-title">
<h4>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h4>
</div><!-- entry-title -->
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
</div> <!-- entry-content -->
</div><!-- content-menu-page -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
// calling footer.php
get_footer();
?>`
what happens instead?
Same thing (that's what's live now).
I added 'posts_per_page' => 10 to the array for now, but I don't think it is resolved the right way. It probably IS something obvious! Thanks helgatheviking for the start_wp() info though.
did you solve it b/c you live link is def showing more than 5 posts?
i'm not sure you need rewind posts, but i dont think it is causing problems either.
In the admin I set to show 100 posts, but for some reason this page defaulted to just 5 posts with no link to older posts. I forced it to show 10 in the array, but why it defaulted to 5 with no link to older posts is the concept I want to grasp.
maybe it would be easier to copy the blog template? and modify the query. it is a bit tricky to modify thematic content based on template, but it is possible.
Thanks HTV, I did a test and that should work better.
too bad we didnt think of the obvious solution right away :)
Story of my life!
