Loop displays current page

Question

I want to display a loop in my page-projets.php file.

<div class="loop center">

    <?php       
    if ( have_posts() ) :
        while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
            get_template_part('content');
        endwhile;
        get_template_part('pagination');
    endif; ?>
</div>

However, on the resulting page, I can only see the page itself within the loop. Sometimes, it even returns a blank result : http://riehling.mrcoolblog.com/projets/

Could you please tell me what's wrong here ?

Regards, Greg

Answer 1

All other things being equal, your page file "page-projets.php" will display a page with a slug = "projets". So... what is the contents of that page?

Answer 2

To display a custom list of post types, you would have to write your own loop in the your page-projets.php theme file.

For example:

<div class="loop center">

    <?php
    $args = array(
        'post_type'         => '',
        'posts_per_page'    => '',
    );

    $query = new WP_Query( $args );

    if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
        while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
            get_template_part('content');
        endwhile;
        get_template_part('pagination');
    endif; ?>
</div>

Replace the values for post_type and posts_per_page with your custom values.

You can also find additional parameters in the Wordpress Codex for WP_Query
