Category is NOT showing on Archive pages!

Hi,

please verify whether the problem occurs also if you activate the default Twenty Fifteen theme. If so, there might be a problem with permalinks. Please go to “Settings > Permalinks” and try to select another permalinks structure.
If your problem continues, please post here a link to our website, I will check it.

Best regards,
Tomas Toman

Hi, I recently changed the permalink from month&name to default, but still have the same problem. This problem was started in the beginning. As you said, I tested with Twenty Fifteen theme, when I click on category archive pages, still have the same problem.

Here’s my website https://koreamonitorusa.com/?issuem_issue=2015-05-15

If you mean category on archive pages, it’s “quite” normal.
Did you check widgets are all in order?

Using specific page templates can erase aside / sidebar settings sometimes.

If not sure you can do a simple solution to make a page template, then you control it perfectly.

Problem seems to come from archive loop… some php loop seems unclosed and i see a but in your page too.

The website link above is not category archive. Just a archive page. If the problem caused from widgets, how can I make it correct order?

Investating but seems a bug like unclosed div or php tag …

This is my archive.php

<?php
/**
 * The archive template file.
 * @package ShootingStar
 * @since ShootingStar 1.0.0
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<div class="post-loop">
<div class="entry-headline-wrapper">
  <div class="entry-headline-wrapper-inner">
    <h1 class="entry-headline"><?php if ( is_day() ) :
						printf( __( 'Daily Archive: %s', 'shootingstar' ), '<span>' . get_the_date() . '</span>' );
					elseif ( is_month() ) :
						printf( __( 'Monthly Archive: %s', 'shootingstar' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( _x( 'F Y', 'monthly archives date format', 'shootingstar' ) ) . '</span>' );
					elseif ( is_year() ) :
						printf( __( 'Yearly Archive: %s', 'shootingstar' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( _x( 'Y', 'yearly archives date format', 'shootingstar' ) ) . '</span>' );
					else :
						_e( 'Archive', 'shootingstar' );
					endif ;?></h1>
<?php shootingstar_get_breadcrumb(); ?>
  </div>
</div>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'archives' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'page_navi' ) ) page_navi( 'items=7&prev_label=Prev&next_label=Next&first_label=First&last_label=Last&show_num=1&num_position=after' ); ?>
</div>
</div> <!-- end of content -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

as for categories, it’s quite normal that widgets are not universal to all site. you can try a widget controller like this one, for archives and all:

I have heard good word about it.

Thank you for your advice. I will check this plugin and see how it works. Thanks,

<?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘archives’ ); ?>

after the plugin solution, is not ok, and you worry about performance, you can fetch the file for global asides and hard code it like this (faster)

a moment i download an example from client

Sorry, I don’t know what you’re saying. I’m a beginner of WP. I installed the Dynamic Widgets plugin, but I don’t know how to use it. -_-;

like this :

<div id=”sidebar” <?php if( is_page_template(‘my-archives.php’)){?> style=”float:left;”<?php } ?>>

<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-1’ ) ) : ?>
<aside id=”archives” class=”widget”>
<h3 class=”widget-title”><?php _e( ‘Archives’, ‘skt-white’ ); ?></h3>

<?php wp_get_archives( array( ‘type’ => ‘monthly’ ) ); ?>

</aside>
<aside id=”meta” class=”widget”>
<h3 class=”widget-title”><?php _e( ‘Meta’, ‘skt-white’ ); ?></h3>

<?php wp_register(); ?>
• <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

<?php wp_meta(); ?>

</aside>
<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>

</div><!– sidebar –>

After you put the widgets as dynamic

Ah, Dynamic Sidebar is rather simple to use, not too fan of it but quite plug and play, and praised in advices so probably a good solution to foresee bloated themes,

k i put it to test on me (blog.digico.fr). using WP Dynamic Sidebars.
