Hi Josh and Media X

Thanks for your support – really appreciated.
(Plus I now know about backticks – soz)

It’s really the first Standard loop which is confusing me – as I can only get it to return 1 page

The custom loop works ok where I am using the WP_query approach. (I was trying for a list of pages rather than posts)

Its the arguments bit that is confusing me, even though the article has helped. Can you give me a pointer to where arguments should be set for the get_posts/have_posts approach?

Thanks again
Paul

Hi Keesiemeijer

Really appreciate your help and links so far.

Here is an example of the things that are confusing me. I can understand the code OK, but where to run it?

Heres the example from the book:
To return a list of all registered post types in WordPress, you’ll use the get_post_types() function. <? php get_post_types( $ args, $ output, $ operator ); ?>

Hello guys

Thanks for the feedback which I really appreciate.

The theme I am using for my learning experience is a premium theme (the same I am using on my live site)

I am mainly trying to learn how to display my content in different ways and so loop and functions are my current focus (rather than theme development itself)

One example of the stuff that confuses me is this. One book I am reading (Professional WP Plugin development by Brad Williams) says stuff like this:

Check out which custom plugins are registered in your WP site by running this: CODE SNIPPET

I understand the code snippet fine – but where do I run it in order to get the output? Should I be in some sort of console mode?

Thanks P

Thanks K.

Thanks K.

Hi Krishna

Really appreciate your response. I am learning all the time!

I swapped the theme back to 2012 and the validation errors are not repeated.

I guess what you are teaching me is that these kinds of HTML tags are generated dynamically by the theme and so there isn’t a way to edit them – the theme code would need to be amended.

Just a final question: When you are buying a premium theme is there a way to frame the question about validation errors that will get you some kind of reassurance before you buy?

Thanks
P
