Archive acting weird

it is a clash between the generated body_class .date (for the date archive) and an existing style for .date (probably for some other reason) in style.css:

.date {
	 font-family:Georgia, "Palatino Linotype", "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	 font-style:italic;
	 font-weight:bol ....

possibly, change it to:

#container .date {
	 font-family:Georgia, "Palatino Linotype", "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	 font-style:italic;
	 font-weight:bol ....

(untested)

and in the archive template, the code <div id="container"> seems to be missing.

Yep that’s it, thanks..
Because I’m new to WordPress, I didn’t know there was a class called date already….

Do you know why the posts of page 2 aren’t showing correctly? And where can I delete that annoying “Page 2” tag?

for the ‘annoying “Page 2” tag’ check header.php, before the <title> tag, if there is some code that could possible output the | Page 2.

does your blog template have a custom query (something with query_posts(); or WP_Query(); ) before the loop?

make sure the query contains the pagination parameter ‘paged’:

if you have problems integrating the code, you can paste the full code of the blog template into a https://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here.

Hello alchymyth,

the “page 2” code was in the header indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.

And yes it has a query
<?php query_posts("cat=1&post_per_page=5") ?>

I don’t understand what to add to this query.I tried the following code but it doesn’t work:
<?php query_posts("cat=1&post_per_page=5&'paged=' . get_query_var( 'page' )") ?>

try

<?php query_posts("cat=1&post_per_page=5&paged=" . get_query_var( 'page' )) ?>

alternatively, try:

<?php query_posts("cat=1&post_per_page=5&paged=" . get_query_var( 'paged' )) ?>

Yes thanks, the second one works!

Hi,

I put this code to the bottom of my archive page, as I only want the archive for the Blog category:

<?php query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>

But now the archive doesn’t show me the older posts anymore when I click “Oudere berichten” … Please help!

this is the same issue as with your query earlier – please take the solution from there.

try for example:

<?php query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page').'&paged='.get_query_var('paged')); ?>

Hi, yes that makes sense.
I think i just had a blonde moment…

Thanks anyway ??
