Problem with loop returning posts

  • Hey guys,

    I have a custom category page (https://example.com/wordpress/?cat=83) and in the code for that category I have a custom wp query loop. The problem is… the loop just returns “Not found” instead of my posts.

    BUT when I copy and paste the same exact code and save it as index.php… the posts magically appear as they’re suppose to.

    Is there something I’m missing or doing wrong? Some rule I might be overlooking?

    HELP!

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Any ideas?

    (Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!)

    Didn’t check everything, but at a quick glance shouldn’t something like this:

    <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while($featured_a->have_posts()

    show be:

    <?php if($featured_a->have_posts()) : ?><?php while($featured_a->have_posts()

    So you would need to fix that for each of your loops.

    Also note that get_header('2') will include header-2.php

    And typically </body> and </html> are in the footer.php template.
