category.php

Greetings,

We’re currently making our own WordPress Theme and its been too long ago to remember how the loop worked for the category page. We currently have this buggy category.php:

<?php

get_header();

if (have_posts()) : the_post(); update_post_caches($posts);

echo '<div class="fullwidth">'."\n";
echo '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr>'."\n";
echo '<td><h3>Posts in '. single_cat_title("", false) .'</h3></td>'."\n";
echo '</tr></table></div>'."\n";
echo '<div class="fullwidth">'."\n";
echo '<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr>'."\n";
echo '<td class="normal"><b style="color: black">Title</b></td>'."\n";
echo '<td class="normal"><b style="color: black">By</b></td>'."\n";
echo '<td class="normal"><b style="color: black">Date</b></td>'."\n";
echo '</tr><tr>'."\n";

echo '<td class=normal>'. single_post_title('prefix', display) .'</td>'."\n";
echo '<td class=normal nowrap>'. the_author_link() .'</td>'."\n";
echo '<td class=normal nowrap>'. the_date() .''. the_time() .'</td>'."\n";

echo '</tr></table></div>'."\n";

else :
  _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.');
endif;

get_footer();

?>

But, it doesn’t display anything except this:

Now we know we’re its missing a loop. Any little example will be appreciated since we can’t find anything about it in the documentary.

Kind regards,
