Ok, Thanks!

I will mark this thread as resolved in the sense that my question is theme-dependent.

I understand in what way you are trying to help me.

I asked about the TwentySixteen code because I want to learn more about WordPress and thought that I could better start with WordPress’ it’s own themes for learning.

This is the archive.php from TwentySixteen.

Can you point out the distinction-code between tag-pages and category-pages in this file?

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

			<header class="page-header">
				<?php
					the_archive_title( '<h1 class="page-title">', '</h1>' );
					the_archive_description( '<div class="taxonomy-description">', '</div>' );
				?>
			</header><!-- .page-header -->

			<?php
			// Start the Loop.
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

				/*
				 * Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
				 * If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
				 * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
				 */
				get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', get_post_format() );

			// End the loop.
			endwhile;

			// Previous/next page navigation.
			the_posts_pagination( array(
				'prev_text'          => __( 'Previous page', 'twentysixteen' ),
				'next_text'          => __( 'Next page', 'twentysixteen' ),
				'before_page_number' => '<span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentysixteen' ) . ' </span>',
			) );

		// If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
		else :
			get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );

		endif;
		?>

		</main><!-- .site-main -->
	</div><!-- .content-area -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Dear James,

Thanks for your quick response!

The name of the theme is Lovecraft, but I also see this in TwentySixteen.

I really can’t tell where the code is that deals with tags, and the code that deals with categories in this archive.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="wrapper section">

	<div class="section-inner">

		<div class="content">

			<div class="page-title">

				<div class="section-inner">

					<h4><?php if ( is_day() ) : ?>
						<?php printf( __( 'Date: %s', 'lovecraft' ), '' . get_the_date( get_option('date_format') ) . '' ); ?>
					<?php elseif ( is_month() ) : ?>
						<?php printf( __( 'Month: %s', 'lovecraft' ), '' . get_the_date('F Y') . '' ); ?>
					<?php elseif ( is_year() ) : ?>
						<?php printf( __( 'Year: %s', 'lovecraft' ), '' . get_the_date( 'Y' ) . '' ); ?>
					<?php elseif ( is_category() ) : ?>
						<?php printf( __( 'Category: %s', 'lovecraft' ), '' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '' ); ?>
					<?php elseif ( is_tag() ) : ?>
						<?php printf( __( 'Tag: %s', 'lovecraft' ), '' . single_tag_title( '', false ) . '' ); ?>
					<?php elseif ( is_author() ) : ?>
						<?php $curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?>
						<?php printf( __( 'Author: %s', 'lovecraft' ), $curauth->display_name ); ?>
					<?php else : ?>
						<?php _e( 'Archive', 'lovecraft' ); ?>
					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php
					$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

					if ( "1" < $wp_query->max_num_pages ) : ?>

						<span><?php printf( __('(Page %s of %s)', 'lovecraft'), $paged, $wp_query->max_num_pages ); ?></span>

						<div class="clear"></div>

					<?php endif; ?></h4>

				</div> <!-- /section-inner -->

			</div> <!-- /page-title -->

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<?php rewind_posts(); ?>

				<div class="posts" id="posts">

					<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

						<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

					<?php endwhile; ?>

				</div> <!-- /posts -->

				<?php lovecraft_archive_navigation(); ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</div> <!-- /content -->

		<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

		<div class="clear"></div>

	</div> <!-- /section-inner -->

</div> <!-- /wrapper.section -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Ok I solved this.

All I had to do is change the code to this:

function my_post_queries( $query ) {
	// not an admin page and is the main query
	if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && !$query->is_home()) {
		//$query->set( 'posts_per_page', 5 );
		$query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
		$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
	}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_post_queries' );

Never mind, pasting the following in functions.php DID work after all:

function my_post_queries( $query ) {
	// not an admin page and is the main query
	if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', 5 );
		$query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
		$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
	}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_post_queries' );

Thanks!
