category menu item's weird behavior

I created a new category of speakers called "moniteurs" and created a menu item to show them on a page.
I duplicated the category-speakers.php page and renamed the duplicate category-moniteurs.php

But when I click on either menu item, the result is the same. All the speakers from both categories shows on the page. This is a weird behavior. I want only the "moniteurs" to show on the moniteurs page and only the "speakers" to show on the speakers page.


Please help. Is there a line of code to add to category-moniteurs.php page ?

This is a temporary fix until developers find a different approach, Edit following files.

category-speakers.php
category-moniteurs.php

Find Line 14 which is below

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100 );


Replace with below code for speakers

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'category_name' => speakers );


Replace with below code for moniteurs assuming that is the category name.

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'category_name' => moniteurs );


See you around...

Hi,

The problem was caused by fact, that the category-speakers.php file is used to display the speakers posts only - the best way to don't mix speakers with other posts is creating another custom post type analogically to the speakers implementation.

I want to showcase the "moniteurs" who only come on stage between speakers for a stand up routine.
It looked quite logical to me that I could just create a category and call it "moniteurs" and create a menu item to show the moniteurs on a page, just like the speakers.

I will try the fix and I'll let you know.

It should be a good implementation do allow that to be done. This is such a beautiful theme.


Or else, maybe provide a way to do a custom post without to much coding.

If it's only a matter of duplicating and renaming, I might try…


What's on take on this ?

Houston, we have a problem:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in /public_html/roadgirls/2/wp-content/themes/Fest/category-speakers.php on line 35

The code provided by NormanUK contains an error - the category name isn't placed inside quotes like below:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'category_name' => 'moniteurs' );

it works !!!
thank you, I had made a mistake in applying the fix.

You guys rule ! Thank you

Just for the record, the code by NormanUK works as is. The mistake was mine in applying it.
I had replaced both line 14 and 15 by his code. That was my mistake not his.
Only line 14 need to be replaced by NormanUK's code.

Thank you again.
