Posts per Page

  • I’m trying to get the below page template to show all posts from all categories. I tried setting ‘posts to page’ to -1 but no such luck. Am I missing something else?

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
			      $the_query = new WP_Query( array (  'posts_per_page' => 1, 'category__in' => $categories, 'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1)) ); $i= 2; ?>
			<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 	$id = get_the_ID();  ?>
			<?php if ($i % 2 == 0) { echo '<div class="centered inner"><div class="whole-post">'; }
				  else { echo '<div class="blue-content color-grey"><div class="centered inner"><div class="whole-post">'; } ?>
				  <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				 <div class="post-info">Posted <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?><?php /* &nbsp;|&nbsp; Author: <?php the_author();  */?></div>
				 <div class="post-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
			<?php if ($i % 2 == 0) { echo '</div></div>'; } else { echo '</div></div></div>'; } ?>
			<?php $i++; ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>

    Anyone? I could use a default loop but I’m unsure of how I would set alternate background colors for each second post.

    your posted code shows the 'posts_per_page' parameter set to 1

    alternatively to using -1 you could try to use the nopaging parameter and set it to true (untested)

    nopaging (boolean) – show all posts or use pagination. Default value is ‘false’, use paging.

    Thanks for the reply Alchymyth. I’m afraid my knowledge of WordPress php is very thin on the ground. Where/how would I add the nopaging parameter to the above?

    Can anyone else advise on this? I could create a new paginated page using a default loop but am unsure of how to set alternate backgrounds for each post.
