Problem dealing with home & index templates

Are you familiar with the information in this article and also codex page?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I am not sure about this at all,
its worth looking in the template hierarchy in the codex………its a wonderful creation but rarely understood………using home.php in the way you describe is conflicting with that I would say

@stvwlf – Thanks, I will try that stuff today.

@root – You are correct. Home.php is interfering with the index.php file. Basically I tried doing the same stuff in the WP default TwentyTen theme and its works.

I get the problem. When we pass any parameters in the URL without any prefix like p=, cat=, tag= etc., home.php 1st intercepts it and since its not able to understand that what its suppose to do, it simply executes the code and displays the same.

I believe we have to write some function to make WP understand that if any parameter is passed in the URL and without any prefix like p=, cat=, tag= etc., then what its supposed to do.

I believe the information at https://www.webopius.com/content/137/using-custom-url-parameters-in-wordpress should work. I will try it today and post an update.

The work around at https://www.webopius.com/content/137/using-custom-url-parameters-in-wordpress doesn’t seems to work. I put it inside the index.php file but still the home.php file intercepts 1st. I tried putting the code in the home.php file and I get a php error.

Looks like we got to work on some different solution or may be Matt can consider this in the future versions.
