Custom page not showing page content (showing blog posts instead)

    I have a custom page with only minor changes from the index, but I can’t get it to show the page content—that is, the text I’ve entered in the visual editor for the page. Instead, all of my blog posts show up.

    How can I get it to show the page content, and not the posts?

    Thanks!

    Here’s the code of the page template, which I assume is the issue:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<?php
/*
Template Name: Calendar
*/
// Which page of the blog are we on?
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
query_posts('cat=-0&paged='.$paged); ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="meat">
	<div id="navmenu" title="Navigation Menu">
		<div id="navmenu_ads">Testing out possible ad space</div>
		<ul id="navlist">
			<li id="button_back"><a href="https://ampyknight.com/wordpress"><div class="navlink_text">Blog</div></a></li>
			<li id="button_front"><a href="#top"><div class="navlink_text">Race Calendar</div></a></li>
			<li id="button_back"><a href="#top"><div class="navlink_text">Training Chart</div></a></li>
			<li id="button_back"><a href="#top"><div class="navlink_text">Equipment</div></a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<div id="loopandbar">
		<div id="loop_column">
			<div id="loop_actual">
				<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/theloop.php'); ?>
				<div id="comments_section">
					<?php comments_template(); ?>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
		<div id="sidebar">
			<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

  • Don’t know what theloop.php is doing, but if that Template (Template Name: Calendar) is assigned to the Page, then you don’t really need:

    // Which page of the blog are we on?
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
query_posts('cat=-0&paged='.$paged); ?>

    because WordPress will automatically do the query for you. You just need a loop to display it.

    That has solved the problem! Just deleting that query. I’m not exactly boss at php, so I had that in there based on a tutorial I once read.

    I was seriously about to kick a puppy over this, so I can’t thank you enough. I owe you some cookies or something.

    “theloop.php” is just where I keep my loop code.
