Then part of the error where it say “We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay)” is not true?

Anyway, I created the password (username: root) and now it works. ??

Thanks for the advice, catacaustic.

I only need it for local theme development. Not as an in-production environment.

As written in the error, pw and username seem fine. I really don’t understand what is going on since the db with that name exists.

You are probably right, but I wouldn’t know how to do the changes. Can you help?

This is what I am currently using to query the articles:

<?php query_posts('category_name=events&posts_per_page=8'); ?>

“Events” is the categories, which has several subcategories where the events actually belong to.

it actually prints only past events, but it prints them EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE upcoming events. I want the past events to show up ONLY WHEN THERE ARE NO upcoming events.

EDIT: I also have events in subcategories. I noticed that the past events are printed not by date but by subcategory. So, if an event is more recent than another event, but belongs to a subcategory that has a higher index in the categories array, this most recent event will appear as less recent (= retrieved afterwards from the DB). Probably this can be solved by going back to the original problem: I would need to write an appropriate elseif, that I don’t know how to write.

I am currently using it without the elseif, in index.php and in archive.php, within the Loop. The output are normal posts that I turned into events by creating custom fields for them ($date_start and $date_end). They show up because they are considered upcoming, as I wrote in the if clause.

Thanks man, very interesting. I think I will switch to WP_Query, in the end, because I need to display all the posts from subcategories belonging to a certain subcategory. I will save this snippet though. Very useful.

I solved the issue using this:

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Thanks man, very clear!

thanks, it works.

Thanks a lot, I tried to loop but was missing the get_post() bit.

Now I will try to add a link to it and then I will delve into echoing the child pages.

I tried echoing the get_the_ID() function and it works.

But

<?php
global $post;
$parents = get_post_ancestors( get_the_ID() );
print_r($parents);
?>

prints

Array ( [0] => 30 )

I’d need to loop then, I believe.

Yes, I made sure it was set through the page attribute before starting playing with this. Then I have find another way. Thanks a lot.

Thanks David, but adding

print_r($parents)

only outputs

Array ()

p.s. I am using Enhanced text sidebar widget to embed the PHP code

Which plugin does the same thing?

ok, I am persuaded. Thank you!
