I am looking to make wordpress print/echo the category name of a post into it's class. I need this to work on the index page inside the main loop. Here is what I mean:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<article class="<?php ** I NEED THIS CODE ** ?>">
<div>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
</div>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(); } else {} ?>
</article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
Hopefully you understand my poor description of my issue. Thanks

Add the following to your theme's functions.php file:
function the_category_unlinked($separator = ' ') {
$categories = (array) get_the_category();
$thelist = '';
foreach($categories as $category) { // concate
$thelist .= $separator . $category->category_nicename;
}
echo $thelist;
}
And the corresponding markup would be:
<article class="<?php the_category_unlinked(' '); ?>">

I have sidebar widgets visible when I open a post in my website. But since the website is bilingual, some of them are supposed to be right aligned while others left aligned.
Is this possible? If I knew which function is generating the content for sidebar HTML, perhaps I could achieve this but I don't know where that function is, if it existed.
umm... kinda got it working.
I made the following changes to the file:
wp-includes\widgets\class-wp-widget-recent-posts.php
It had the following code:
<ul>
<?php while ( $r->have_posts() ) : $r->the_post(); ?>
<li>
<?php get_the_title() ? the_title() : the_ID(); ?>
<?php if ( $show_date ) : ?>
<span class="post-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
I then changed it to:
<ul>
<?php while ( $r->have_posts() ) : $r->the_post(); ?>
<?php
if (strpos(get_the_title(), 'a') !== false) {
echo '<li class="engwidget">';
}else{
echo '<li class="localwidget">';
}
?>
<?php get_the_title() ? the_title() : the_ID(); ?>
<?php if ( $show_date ) : ?>
<span class="post-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
I've achieved what I wanted but no idea if this is by any means a right way to do so.

how i can do it. my featured post slider tags now= featured. when i put "featured" any post tags option then it show featured post. now i want it like category base. i select here any category.then that category all post show featured post.
If I understood you right ( difficult ike #dda noted ) Changing this line :
$my_query = new WP_Query("tag=featured&showposts=$featurecount");
to
$my_query = new WP_Query("category_name=featured&showposts=$featurecount");
Will make the same query from tag to category using name ..
If you use ID , then
$query = new WP_Query( 'cat=2,7,23,35' );
Or all posts that share this category :
$query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=staff' );

Evening,
I tried to edit a simple code in Magento, yet im totaly new to PHTML and im having problems with basics...
I wanted to check the title to set a custom div for the translator to invoke...
This part of the edited PHTML code does not work...
<?php if( $this->getConfig('title') ): ?>
<?php if( $this->getConfig('title') == 'Categories' ?>
<div class="block-title"><strong><?php echo $this->__('Categories') ?></strong></div>
<?php else: ?>
<div class="block-title"><strong><?php echo $this->getConfig('title') ?></strong></div>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endif; ?>
While this original code works:
<?php if( $this->getConfig('title') ): ?>
<div class="block-title"><strong><?php echo $this->getConfig('title') ?></strong></div>
<?php endif; ?>
Can some expert please pinpoint an error so I wont spend whole bunch of time on this?
Thanks in advance.
<?php if( $this->getConfig('title') ): ?>
<?php if( $this->getConfig('title') == 'Categories'): ?>
---^
<div class="block-title"><strong><?php echo $this->__('Categories') ?></strong></div>
<?php else: ?>
<div class="block-title"><strong><?php echo $this->getConfig('title') ?></strong></div>

I am rather new to Wordpress and have a question. I have created my own theme, which all seems to work fine. But, I am having one issue. I want to create my blog page (with all the posts) on a page other than my home page. So, in my theme folder, I created a page template called blog.php:
<?php
/*
Template Name: blog
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<table id="about-table" >
<tr>
<td colspan="7">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_author(); ?>
<?php the_time("jS F"); ?>
<?php comments_number("0","1","%"); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Then, I created a page in wordpress called "blog" as well, in the "pages" section in the dashboard. I then assigned its template to the above "blog" template. The problem is, though, that the code does not work as it should. Instead of showing me the titles, comments, etc of the posts, it displays some other info. On the other hand, if i just copy this:
<table id="about-table" >
<tr>
<td colspan="7">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_author(); ?>
<?php the_time("jS F"); ?>
<?php comments_number("0","1","%"); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
to my index page, it works fine. So, how do I display all my post info on a page other than the home page?
I wanted to provide you with a simpler loop as a second option. If you use this and set Reading settings to the specific blog page this works well:
<?
/*
Template Name: Blog Template Example
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="next-posts"><?php next_posts_link(); ?></div>
<div class="prev-posts"><?php previous_posts_link(); ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h1>Not Found</h1>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
How about you do something like this:
blog-template.php:
<?php/*
Template Name: Blog Page
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'layout-page', 'blog' );?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
layout-page-blog.php:
<?php
the_post();
$title = get_the_title();
$baselink = get_permalink();
$category = get_field('category_blog');
if( !empty($category) ){
$post_per_page = get_option('posts_per_page');
$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
$categoryID = get_category_id($category);
$total = get_post_count(array($categoryID));
$the_query = new WP_Query("posts_per_page={$post_per_page}&cat= {$categoryID}&paged={$paged}");
?>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
<h1 class="title"><?php echo $title; ?></h1>
<div class="content-middle">
<div class="node">
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class="content">
<?php echo content(150); ?>
</div>
<div class="read-more">Read more</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<br/><br/>
<div class="wp-paginate">
<?php
wp_reset_query();
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => $baselink.'%_%',
'total' => ceil($total/$post_per_page),
'current' => $paged,
));
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- end content -->
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
This could all be in one file, or you can use it in two pieces as I have written it.
EDIT:
Sorry I have it set to also grab the images from the post. I think this is the functions code you need:
function get_images_by_cat($id){
$limit = 1000;
$the_query = new WP_Query("posts_per_page={$limit}&cat={$id}");
$arr = array();
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$title = get_the_title();
$image_src = get_field('banner_image');
$image_link = get_field('banner_link');
$arr[] = array(
"title" => $title,
"link" => $image_link,
"image" => $image_src,
);
}
wp_reset_query();
return $arr;
}
I am currently finish of my theme for a wordpress website that I am building, I am having a problem getting my categories to work though.
I am lost as to how I can loop through the current category if I am at a URL of say "/category/category-name" how would I loop the posts that belong to the category "category name".
I I do the following on my template
<p>Category: <?php single_cat_title(); ?></p> I get the following output
Category Name
So how do I loop through that categories posts?
Category.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<article class="content">
<section class="top">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</section>
<section class="middle">
</section>
</article>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
page-news.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<article id="content">
<section class="top">
<?php query_posts('post_type=news'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<section class="news">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<h2><?php echo strtolower(the_title()); ?></h2>
<span class="posted"><?php the_date("l jS M Y"); ?></span>
<?php
$content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
?>
<p><?php echo substr(strip_tags($content), 0, 400).'…' ; ?>Read More</p>
<p class="tags">
<strong>Categories:</strong>
<?php
$post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID );
$cats = array();
foreach($post_categories as $c){
$cat = get_category( $c );
$cats[] = array( 'name' => $cat->name, 'slug' => $cat->slug );
}
?>
<?php foreach($cats as $k => $v) : ?>
<?php echo $cats[$k]['name']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</p>
<p class="tags">
<strong>Tags: </strong>
<?php $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); ?>
<?php foreach ($tags as $tag) : ?>
<?php echo $tag->name; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</p>
</section>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php get_sidebar('news'); ?>
</section>
<section class="middle">
</section>
</article>
So page-news.php are where my news article reside, and the user can get the category using the link generated by <?php echo $cats[$k]['name']; ?>
I don't think you're outputting anything in category.php based on the code above. the_post() doesn't echo anything. It just puts the next record into $post. Try this...
<?php
get_header();
$cat = get_category(get_query_var("cat"));
var_dump($cat); //make sure that there really is a valid category and it's the right one
?>
<h1 class="page-title"><?php echo $cat->name?></h1>
<?php
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()){
the_post();
<h2><?php the_title()?></h2>
<?php the_content()?>
<?php
}
} else {
?>
<p>No posts found!</p>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
get_footer();
?>
In page-news.php you should probably consider using the_category() to echo out the category links rather than constructing the links yourself -- that way you'll know that the links are valid....
<p class="tags"><?php the_category()?></p>
You can use this function inside your page template to loop the posts
