I finally figured out how to make pages that only display certain content. Now, those pages (and those pages only will not display the "Older Posts"/"Newer Posts" buttons anymore. The code is nearly identical so I don't understand why that would be.
My original page.php reads:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main" role="main" class="<?php brunelleschi_content_class(); ?>">
<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' ); ?>
</div><!-- #main -->
<?php if( brunelleschi_options('sidebar') === __('both','brunelleschi')
|| brunelleschi_options('sidebar') === __('two left','brunelleschi')
|| brunelleschi_options('sidebar') === __('two right','brunelleschi')){
get_sidebar('secondary');
} ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
My code for my custom page reads:
<?php /* Template Name: DIY */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main" role="main" class="<?php brunelleschi_content_class(); ?>">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php query_posts('category_name=DIY (Mine)');?>
<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' ); ?>
</div><!-- #main -->
<?php if( brunelleschi_options('sidebar') === __('both','brunelleschi')
|| brunelleschi_options('sidebar') === __('two left','brunelleschi')
|| brunelleschi_options('sidebar') === __('two right','brunelleschi')){
get_sidebar('secondary');
} ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
So all I added was:
The template name to the top
The code to display page content before querying the posts.
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
And the bit to query the specific posts
<?php query_posts('category_name=DIY (Mine)');?>
What am I missing that could be removing the page navigation buttons?
My page is http://www.acoloradocourtship.com and this template pertains to the "DIY" menu option. My theme is brunelleschi.
Thank you! <3
