May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop Good idea, but returns NULL in this case. `get_queried_object_id()` then returns `0`. Thanks.
May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop @Michael - I've resolved this by adding a 'no_post_id' attribute to the `$page_atts` array, and then checking this at the relevant point of `loop-index.php`. Thanks for the advice.
May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop @Michael - Good point about it being destroyed. I'll see if I can knock something up for checking the post_type and let you know. Thanks.
May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop @Michael - I have a custom search Class to handle searches, which outputs to `search.php` (using `loop.php` - `the_template_part('loop', 'index')` - to display the posts). If you look in the Pastebin, you notice that I have set two functions that tell the page what it needs to do in certain situations. So for Careers, for example, the page will output the title and content, and then query any posts of type `career`, before using `loop.php` to output them. The issue comes in that while in `loop.php`, if there are not `careers` to show, I can't use `is_page()`, as it doesn't work in The Loop.
May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop Thanks for the comment, but this is not what I'm looking for. The description even specifically notes that this is not for use for post type 'page'.

May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop @Michael - This in my `loop.php` file. The Loop is used by various templates to display posts, and in the case of two pages, and the search, I need to show some text if there are not matching posts. I've updated with a link to Pastebin that contains my full code for `page.php` and `loop.php`. Thanks.

May 15	comment	Identify the page being shown while in The Loop @Patj - Not missing, I just accidentally deleted it for this example code. Added back in now.

May 9	comment	Search pagination not working Good spot, changing to `GET` fixed it! If you could post as an answer, I will accept. Thanks.

Mar 20	comment	set_post_thumbnail_size not cropping featured images Hmm, your original attempt should have worked. I'll do some testing, there may be an issue with `set_post_thumbnail_size()` ignoring the `crop` flag.
Mar 20	comment	set_post_thumbnail_size not cropping featured images You shouldn't have to do that. Using `set_post_thumbnail_size()` should set `post-thumbnail` to your desired dimensions, and then `the_post_thumbnail()` should use `post-thumbnail` as it's default size, if none is passed.

Mar 20	comment	Is there a good way to use CMS images with CSS I see! I usually just put an explanation in the answer box below, so that if anyone comes across this in the future, then can see why you reached that decision. You can then come back in two days and mark it as the correct answer - people are more likely to help you if you have a good acceptance rate.
Mar 20	comment	Is there a good way to use CMS images with CSS `I decided to just have php write the one line of inline css I need and call it done.` Haven't you answered that yourself?
Mar 20	comment	Redirect page to first post in custom post type Try `echo '<pre>'; print_r($posts); echo '</pre>';` to see what the query is actually grabbing. My guess would be nothing, hence `get_permalink()` returning the URL of the page you are on. That being the case, is the name of your Post Type correct, or have I mis-typed that?
