Category Posts

Hi ADUpchurch

Looking at the site’s code your category pages have an extra div inside which is adding extra padding. If you go to Appearance >> Editor and then click on the category.php option you’ll see the code.

I think all you need to do is change the class of the 2nd <div class=”post”> to <div class=”entry”> – Make sure to take a copy of the code before making any changes in case you need to restore.

I hope this helps.

Hi Sam,

Thank you for responding. I have not been able to find a section in the editor entitled category/category.php, but I have found a section entitled archive.php. It briefly mentions category within it. Should I copy the code here so you can have a look at it?

Hi ADUpchurch

archive.php will be the file. Yes if you can copy the code here I’ll take a look.

Archives (archive.php)

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Archive for the ‘<?php single_cat_title(); ?>’ Category</h2>
<?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Posts Tagged ‘<?php single_tag_title(); ?>’</h2>
<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Archive for <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’); ?></h2>
<?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Archive for <?php the_time(‘F, Y’); ?></h2>
<?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Archive for <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?></h2>
<?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Author Archive</h2>
<?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET[‘paged’]) && !empty($_GET[‘paged’])) { ?>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”>Blog Archives</h2>
<?php } ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post”>
<div class=”date”><h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> on <?php the_time(__(‘F j, Y’)); ?> in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘ | ‘, ”); ?></div>

<div class=”post”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Older Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php include(‘sidebar.php’);?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

THERE IS A SECOND FILE:

Archives Page Template (archives.php)

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content”>

<h2>Archives by Month:</h2>

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

<h2>Archives by Category:</h2>

<?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’); ?>

</div>

<?php include(‘sidebar.php’);?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

THANK YOU SO MUCH SAM, FOR HAVING A LOOK AT THIS FOR ME.

No worries. I think you just need to change (found near the middle of the code)

<div class="post">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

to

<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

Hope this helps

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much Sam. ??
