I tried the ‘old’ method, that did not work. And my template does use the wp_reset_query(). I am a complete newbie who is just learning php, css, wordpress etc. I’ve included the template code below for the page that does the call. I hope we sort this out as otherwise I’ll have to think up my own solution and that is still beyond me i think.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Template Category (Match-to-Page)
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined('ABSPATH')) exit;
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="sub-head">
<div id="container">
<h1 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php $options = get_option('responsive_theme_options'); ?>
<?php if ($options['breadcrumb'] == 0): ?>
<?php echo responsive_breadcrumb_lists(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="container" class="hfeed">
<?php responsive_header_end(); // after header hook ?>
<?php responsive_wrapper(); // before wrapper ?>
<div id="wrapper" class="clearfix">
<?php responsive_in_wrapper(); // wrapper hook ?>
<div id="content" class="grid col-620">
<!--
here is the idea:
1. Set article permalinks to be one word.
2. Set category name to the same word (ideally)
Ie. for posting study plans to a page called "My SCCC Classes" the permalink would be "classes"
then named the category "Classes" with slug "classes"
This should also worked with categories with a space in them for instance a page called "My Work" with permalink "work" would have a category name of "My Work" and a slug "work".
Note that the query doesn't care that category name has an 'empty space' in it.
