Please help! External site by month?

  • Hello. I’m rather new to wordpress, but not completely. I did use blogs in this website
    https://www.bandwagontheseries.com
    that is about the extent of my knowledge on adding it to an existing site.

    Here is my question.
    I’m about to design a site for a customer that is making an Online Comic. She would like to be able to add comics twice a week, herself. So, i figured that wordpress would be the best option. Thats normal. The question I have is this:

    She wants it set up so, if say october ends, she wants to basically wipe out the issues, and start a new month. But also have links on the side, to go to previous months, or technically issues.

    I guess I want to know if there is a way to set up the blog so that it goes by month. The one I have the bandwagon site, i believe shows me 5 blogs, before it kicks them off and starts a new one.

    Also, how do I make the links on the side for previous months?

    thank you so much!

    this is the Error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function dynamic_sidebar() in /home3/whoisrip/public_html/main.php on line 196

    as you can see if you go to https://www.whoisripper.com/main.php

    here is my site code.
    [removed]

    When i’m called names for helping others, i don’t care much after that. But before someone really calls you a moron, you might want to remove the database info before posting your pretty codes.

    is there an MOD or something that could remove the link please? I didnt obviously mean to do that….

    What link?

    the pastbin link a couple posts ago

    Done. I strongly recommend that you now change your database username and password asap. Other sites take archive copies of the forums, and we can do nothing to control that.

    That error suggests that the full WordPress environment isn’t loading properly.

    I’m not sure how you got the loop to work because I didn’t get to see the code, but it sounds like you’re querying the database directly. Is that right?

    If that’s the case, then you can’t use any of the built in WordPress functions. You can dig in the code to see exactly what queries wp_get_archives() uses.

    ok…. ?? dig…..where…? I’m sorry, this is literally the first time i’ve tried to do this, and its gotta be working in like….5 days.. arg.

    From the codex page,

    wp_get_archives() is located in wp-includes/general-template.php.

    It’s probably the first time anyone else here is doing it too, since you’re going outside the theme framework we’re all familiar with.

    I dont see wp_get_archives() in that file. I searched the entire thing. man this shouldnt be this hard…..

    I dont know if this helps, but this is the site i used to add the loop
    https://www.jamischarles.com/blog/how-to-add-recent-wordpress-posts-on-an-external-html-page/

    I don’t know what you’re using to search, but it’s on line 877.

    Yeah that’s not really the loop. It’s a direct database query, which is why you don’t have access to all the other functions provided by WordPress.

    Still, tracing through the WordPress code should help you figure out how to do it.

    Oh….. ok… So, is there another way for me to code it that would allow me to have access?

    Take a look in WordPress’ index.php file. Try putting those lines into your code, but set WP_USE_THEMES to false.

    I just tried this and it looks like it’ll give you access to WordPress functions, but I don’t know how easy it’ll be to integrate with your existing site, especially the automatically generated links.

    where did you place put the code? when I tried it, it just give me errors on the get blog header line. and did you take out the<?php part, or leave it?
