Luckily, there’s an easy fix to the above scenario.

All of the query parameters passed by WordPress are stored in a global variable called $query_string. So, let’s say you have a query like this:

1

query_posts('cat=5&posts_per_page=6');

If that’s in an archive loop, the archive will break, so, to fix it, do this instead:

1
2

global $query_string;
query_posts('cat=5&posts_per_page=6&' . $query_string);

This will cause query_posts() to recognize all of the parameters passed from WordPress, as well as all of those you have chosen to pass manually.

Hope this helps!

when it should have been:

http://site.com/blog/page/2?s=searchphrase

Notice the second “blog” in there?

Finally, I tried reverting back to the default search form by removing searchform.php from my theme directory. There! I found it. The problem was fixed. But I really needed and wanted my custom searchform.php. So what was the problem?

Well, looking at the Codex entry for get_search_form(), I saw that the default search form layout was:

1
2
3
4
5
6

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
    <div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
        <input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
        <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
    </div>
</form>

and mine was:

1
2
3
4
5
6

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">
    <div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
        <input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
        <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
    </div>
</form>

See the problem? It’s not obvious, but the problem is caused by bloginfo(‘url’); being used for the action=”" parameter of the FORM tag, instead of echo home_url();.

I am not exactly sure why bloginfo(‘url’) is different from echo home_url(); because they both display exactly the same thing. But it does fix the problem.

Hopefully this will solve someone else’s trouble before you spend hours and hours on it as I did.

$category_id = 12; //replace with your category ID
echo get_cat_name($category_id);

This is particular useful in cases, such as them option panels, where a user has enter ID numbers of categories, and you need to get the name of those categories.

Using the wp_get_attachment_image_src() function, we can obtain the URL of whatever image size we want:

1
2
3
4
5

// store the image URL in an array
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(  $post->ID ), "thumbnail-size" );
 
// output the URL
echo $image[0];

You can choose to display whatever size of image you want by altering the “thumbnail-size” parameter. It can be any size you have declared in your functions.php with add_image_size(), or it can be an array, like this:

1

$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(  $post->ID ), array(400, 350 true) );
