Live site. My blog page is showing only the very first published page, and not the subsequent posts. I've noticed, too, that when viewing the page source, the blog page seems to be using single.php instead of index.php which is what I've set the template to be. Could this be the issue? Below is the code in question: in... | It appears that <code> blog.php </code> is a custom static page template , yes? If so, then the primary loop will display the post content of the static page to which it is applied.

How can I exclude visited posts from a loop? I have a loop of recent posts on a single post page that excludes the current post and I want to extend the amount of times users browse by filtering out the ones they've already seen. Here's the basic loop. <code> <?php $featured_post_id = get_the_ID(); global $post; $ar... | This is a heavier question than you think. You'll need to do quite a bit: Set a cookie in the user's browser to keep track of the posts they've seen.

Some examples in WordPress' docs pass a filename to <code> add_action </code> rather than an action name. For example, <code> add_action( 'load-post.php', 'callback' ); add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'callback' ); </code> What are the valid filenames for the first argument in <code> add_action </code> ? | Just found my answer.

I want to create a handful of pages that I do not want the client to have access to through the edit pages admin screen.

I've been hacking all day at a custom post type search/filter system. So far I have this: <code> function kdev_property_query($query) { if(isset($_POST['rooms_n'])) $_SESSION['rooms_n'] = $_POST['rooms_n']; if(isset($_POST['univer'])) $_SESSION['univer'] = $_POST['univer']; if(isset($_POST['area_t'])) $_SESSION['area_t... | On your search form you use NULL (as a string) for Any selection.

I have been reading up on debugging. I watched Chip Bennett's video on wordpress.tv and was inspired to take debugging seriously. What I have found in my reading up though has confused me a bit.

Shopify's Cycle lets you alternate between things within a loop. Here's my example: <code> <div class="{% cycle 'first', 'second', 'third' %}"> {% include 'product-grid-item' %} </div> </code> My question, is there anything like this for Wordpress? I'd love to be able to cycle through some kind of setting -... | Short answer, no. But that is a pretty cool feature! To so something similar in WordPress, you'd need to code some kind of iterator in PHP and have it do the logic for you.
