All Posts Show In One Category

Without a category.php, is it jumping right to index.php for what posts to pull?

it would use archive.php which exists in your theme.

archive.php is calling /includes/gazpo-loop.php

however, in both (unedited) templates, there is nothing to suggest that they would show all posts independant of category.

if you haven’t edited the templates, try to temporarily deactivate all plugins to see if that helps.

if you have edited those templates, compare them with the originals (you can for instance find them here: https://themes.svn.www.ads-software.com/silverorchid/1.5.0/ )

Hey, alchymyth

Thank you for taking the time to help.

There was one change made to the /includes/gazpo-loop.php file, and once I restored it to the original the problem was fixed. The edit was meant to prevent “video” category from showing in the main post feed, however, and now I am at a loss on how to fix this problem.

I will pose the question to you, but as it is a new question I understand if you want me to post a new topic in the forum.

How can I prevent a category from showing up on the homepage?

Thanks again for fixing this problem. I am one step away from a complete website.

Never mind, alchymith, I figured it out. Take care.

<?php
if (is_home()) {
query_posts(“cat=-3”);
}
?>

Post this just before the loop in case anyone needs to know.

to prevent “video” category from showing in the main post feed

there is another way to exclude a category from the main loop;

Alchymyth,

What you said is probably the better way. The code I inserted broke my pagination. I ended up finding a plugin that is working great for me now (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-exclude-from-homepage/) but building a simple plugin would have been my next step if a pre-made one broke my site.

Your help has been invaluable. Thanks again.
