Modified Category Page Now Only Shows 1 Post

    I have modified a category page in multiple ways, one step at a time, and all worked until I modified it so that when there are NO posts it will show a placeholder graphic.
    -When there is NO post, the placeholder graphic shows (as is desired).
    -When there is a post, the placeholder graphic does not show, and the post does (as is desired).

    The problem is, if there is more than one post, the page will still only return one post.

    <?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<div id="complete_entry">
<div id="td1_replace">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="_top" title="<?php the_title();?>">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
  $thumbnail_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'thumbnail' );
  echo '<div id="thumbnail_background" style="background-image:url(' . $thumbnail_url[0] . ');">';
}
?>
<img src="/adopt/wp-content/themes/chibitude2014/images/purple_frame.png" id="frame_overlay">
</a>
</div>
<!--end td1_replace-->

<div id="td2_replace">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" target="_top" title="<?php the_title();?>">
<?php the_title();?></a>
<?php get_template_part ('entry','summary');?>
<?php $args = array(
    'number' => 1,
    'post_id' => $post->ID,
    'status' => 'approve'
);
$latest_comment = get_comments( $args );
if( $latest_comment ) foreach( $latest_comment as $comment ) {
/*whatever you want to show from the comment, for instance*/ ?>
High Bid:<?php echo $comment->comment_content; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<!--end "td2_replace"-->

</div>
<!--end "complete_entry"-->

<?php else :
echo "";
?>
<div id="empty" style="margin:25px auto;text-align:center;"><img src="../2014/~images/2015ChunkUnavailable.png"></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!--end "content"-->

<div id="pagination">
<?php wp_pagination(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Here is the page in question:

    Here is a link to another category that uses the same template, but this one has NO pages in the category:
    https://chibitude.com/adopt/?cat=249

    you are missing the while( have_posts() ) part in your loop;

    Thank you ?? I didn’t quite understand what to do, so I futzed until I got it to work.

    I needed to change the “if” to “while”,
    and the “endif” to “endwhile” and then I needed to wrap the whole thing in
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
    —–
    <?php endif; ?>

    Here’s the updated code that works ?? YAY! TYSM

    <?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<a>" target="_top" title="<?php the_title();?>">
<?php
  if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
  $thumbnail_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'thumbnail' );
  echo '<img src="' . $thumbnail_url[0] . '">';
  }
?>
</a>
<a>" target="_top" title="<?php the_title();?>">
<?php the_title();?></a>
<?php get_template_part ('entry','summary');?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!--end "content"-->
<?php else : echo '<div id="empty" style="margin:25px auto;text-align:center;"><img src="../2014/~images/2015ChunkUnavailable.png"></div>'; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="pagination">
<?php wp_pagination(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Just a quick mention. Is there some way preview before you post? p.s. found the edit button ??

    there is unfortunately no way to preview a forum post before posting it.

    generally, there is some redundant code in your posted section.
    you can change this part:

    <div id="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>

    to:

    <div id="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
