    Hi there,

    I have several categories set up in the dashboard with 10 or so posts. I have then assigned these posts to the categories I want, however, when I select a category on my site, it just displays the posts in the order they were posted, instead.

    For a while I assumed this might have something to do with wp-paginate, as I’m having problems with this also… but, maybe not, as when this is deactivated I still have the same issue.

    This is killing me, please, I need someone smarter than I ??

  • if you are still trying to get the 2010 archives.php to look like your theme, post a link to your site and we’ll see if we can figure out what to do. My previous post suggests we may already be using your theme’s archive loop, but I’m not sure.

    Unfortunately the site isn’t live, would it be acceptable if I email you the theme/files?

    I have made some progress rebuilding the template (as previously discussed) but it is now getting a little ugly.

    use pastebin, that way it will be avalable for others to help with as well.

    I have to say it will be difficult for me to do successful edits which I can’t immediately see. I’m not really so good with this that I can tell if it’s right just by seeing the code.. I may actually need a copy of your theme in order to make progress, but we shall see how it goes.

    Just to be clear, you just want your category archives to work as they should, correct?

    Yes, that’s right!

    Okay, this looks difficult. I assume this theme is completely custom?
    I’ve never seen a set up quite like this. I’ll play around with it as I can, I may get lucky but if you need this asap you’d better enlist someone who really knows what’s up, is the theme author not available?

    Unfortunately I think it is completely custom!? I’ve tried to contact the author several times in the past month, with no luck! However, I managed to get hold of his personal e-mail today so perhaps he might help if I contact him personally??

    I’m sorry if this is a pain by the way…

    I’m sorry I’m not better with this stuff. But it’s not always easy to get really good help here. The people who know the most tell least. Not that I blame them. This stuff takes a lot of time to learn and has value.
    Good luck, I’ll plug away as I can and get back to you, hopefully the theme writer will beat me to it.

    I want to ask, how much do you know about the way this theme is set up? is it custom to your specs? Does it fullfill any special functions you specified? In short, why are you using it? what’s special about it?i I only ask this because I wonder if there are themes I know which may suit your purpose and be easier to tweek?

    With the greatest of respect, this is a commercial theme.

    this line (from pastebin https://pastebin.com/8GVByxnD):

    query_posts('posts_per_page=6&paged='.$paged);

    messes with the category query and changes back to an ‘all posts’ query;

    change to:

    global $query_string; query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=6&paged='.$paged);

    you might still get problems with the pagination – why not set the number of posts per page to 6 in dashboard – settings – reading ?

    looks like the heavy guns has arrived.. I’m out!

    Cheers deep, i’m gonna stick it out with this theme tho as I’m feeling stubborn.. thanks for your time ??

    Esmi, to be fair mate, I’ve sent countless messages to the support and received nothing back!!

    Sweeper, this code has worked, thank you very much! As you said tho, i’m still having problems with pagination.. I don’t understand any of this unfortunately and is one of the issues I’ve raised with the themes support team and again got nothing.

    Damn, you got the theme diva and the sweeper. Lucky you. Carry on..
