Blog Post Loop

  • Hello,

    Recently i have started building my own site based on WordPress, i have never done this before so everything is new to me.

    Two things that are wrong with my theme i already know, the header </div> needs moving to header.php and the navigation </div> needs moving to navigation.php this isn’t my problem.

    If you look at my site i have a blog page https://oswestryweather.co.uk/blog/ i have attempted to get the loop to display all my posts here but for some reason it is not working.

    The code i am using is seen here https://pastebin.com/P07fusqy, what i think the problem is that this <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> is in the wrong place however when i move it nothing happens and it makes an error.

    Any help would be extremely gratefully received

  • So you need to assign that page as the “Posts Page” as I instructed several comments ago. That is step #1.

    I have changed the settings like you said – https://cl.ly/HFs7

    Now when i try and load any page it re-directs me to the homepage.

    I am not doing something right…

    Yes, probably, and it is hard to debug without direct access. Be patient.

    You will need to select something for the “Front Page”. That is the catch. I don’t like that it works that way but I have never been able to get reliable behavior otherwise.

    It still dosen’t work i have selected something for the home page and it still dosen’t work.

    The BLOG page loads the homepage – this is very confusing especially when i am trying my best to learn..

    Did you set the front page to something that uses a different page template?

    Is there any way you can get this online? It is getting hard to guess at things without being able to look at them.

    Yep i set the home page to a separate page and the blog page to the blog page.

    What do you want me to show you?

    I’d really like to see the site. I am missing something and I don’t know what.

    Do you have some form of offline chat?

    Can anyone help me with this?

    what is the code of index.php in your theme?

    what is the file name of the pastebin code?
    from the code in the pastebin, this looks like a page template;
    in which case, to get it to show all posts, you need to add a query before the loop, i.e. before this line: <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    example:
    <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&post_type=post'); ?>

    btw: what about the page ‘The Blog’:
    https://oswestryweather.co.uk/the-blog/
    this at least shows a single post; do you have any more than this post?
