Custom Query String – is_archive problem

    I’ve created a seperate archive.php page in my theme directory. I’ve created an ‘is_archive’ query in the CQS plugin and set it to ‘-1’.

    Problem is I’m still only getting a single post appearing.

    I’ve done simlilary with a category.php and an ‘is_category’ query set to ‘-1’ and it lists all posts from a category fine.

    Is there something I need to adjust in the archive.php? Is there a bug in the CQS plugin?

    Thanks for any help.

    You say you created this template. What went into its creation — was it just copied from another template? It could be using something like query_posts() to initialize The Loop, which would override the plugin.

    Also, any other plugins running which could conflict with CQS?

    There aren’t any other plugins installed atm.

    Basically, all I did was rename the index.php to archive.php. Nothing changed.

    Here is the beginning of the Loop:

    <?php if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>

    <?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>');?>
    <div class="centreblock">
    <h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <div class="meta"> by <span class="storyAuthor"><?php the_author() ?> </span> @ <?php the_time() ?>.<?php edit_post_link(); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;Filed under <?php the_category(', ') ?>

    Thanks again.

    I think problem is solved.

    I set “Blog Pages” in the “Reading Options” to “-1” (it was set to “1” as I only wanted the latest post to show on main page). Then I made an “is_home” query in CQS and set the value to “1”. Now everything appears to be working.

    I’d be curious if there was another solution to the behavior though.

    Thanks again.

    You can make it relaively painless – meaning without editing any of the template files, with this plugin:

    (this is for WP 2 – there was an earlier version, too)

    That’s the CQS plugin I’m using already.

    Thanks.

    vaprak, I’m not sure what the issue is you’re hitting here. CQS will override whatever is in Options > Reading for each query type that’s set, and I’ve never seen the need for such a workaround. I’d suggest contacting the developer Matt Read and let him know about your problem.

    I tried this out, and it worked.
    One post at the main page, and all posts are being displayed when looking at the archive for a specific month.

    Even though this post is two months old I wanted to post in it so that the author might change it to solved, and so that others will know that this works.

    Oh, and yes, I’m using WP 2.0
