Error my side

Thanks for the initial reply

This isn’t really what I want to do. I want to understand why my permalink structure is directly affecting the function of my website. Pretty permalinks is negating the expected result of selecting my page named ‘blog’ as the ‘posts page’ in the reading section of wp-admin.

When set to post-id the site functions perfectly.

When set to post-name the page /blog/ is broken (doesn’t show the standard loop or have the characteristics it’s supposed to) and removing this random line of code from my functions.php breaks three other pages (leads them to 404)

function gp_add_cpt_post_names_to_main_query( $query ) {
	if ( ! isset( $query->query['page'] ) || 2 !== count( $query->query ) ) { return; }
	if ( empty( $query->query['name'] ) ) { return; }
	$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'books', 'events' ) );
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'gp_add_cpt_post_names_to_main_query' );

Blog isn’t a custom post type – just the name of the page I want to display all my posts ??

It does, if you set the posts-page in settings. Its so weird

I’m using the standard loop from the index.php template

Got it working by adding <?php query_posts(‘post_type=post’) ?> just above the query which is great but now it doesn’t paginate…

Hi Ikaring

Thanks for coming back to me !

I’ve deleted the category to avoid the conflict but that doesn’t explain why my theme has changed the default functionality of wordpress so that the blog page doesn’t get given the blog class etc

The /blog/ page still isn’t working

Thanks !

Thanks Davood

Wow! Thank you so so so much

The blog links, and tools are such a good start

Thank you! Hopefully I’ll crack it and post the reply below

THANK YOU AGAIN!

Hi mchelles

Thanks for the reply, and the help but…

I’ve tried both of those options and they’re not working for me unfortunately

I basically need the links to look at BOTH categories e.g MOTION and ARTICLE and go to the next MOTION ARTICLE (also previous) but instead it’s pulling in all the posts with the tag ARTICLE too, which is where I’m getting lost and confused

Hey Robert!

Interestingly enough, that was how I’d written the markup in your “fixed” box on github link there

What I’d totally forgotten to do was set the “RAW HTML” plugin on each of these pages – as wordpress was adding extra elements within the HTML it must have been confusing the code

I only realised because of you pointing out on that link that the original markup was wrong – took me a while to realise that wasn’t my doing ??

Thanks so much for your help Robert!

Hi Robert!

Thanks for the reply – how strange!

I’m still getting the issue on Chrome, MAC OSX – maybe therein could be this issue

Basically, I’ve attached three screenshots below, when you click on the large 2/3 width images on the right, it should open a gallery (the featherlight one) which it does ?? but then that’s where the image duplication happens

Hopefully the screenshots help – https://imgur.com/a/BkAtF
