Hi guys I got some big help in the themeshaper forums and I wouldn't keep back the answer to my question. So if you want to call a custom loop you have defined in your functions.php (like in the tutorial above) on another page than the index.php (e.g. yourownpage.php), just take the following wp_query snippet from the template-page-blog.php (in your thematic parent theme folder) and paste it above your loop call, it should look something like this then:






	query( array( 'posts_per_page' => get_option( 'posts_per_page' ), 'paged' => $paged ) );
		$more = 0;
	?>

Thank you so much for this Tutorial. I’m really trying hard to be water ;)

I followed every step of this tut: included your code in the functions.php, calling in my page template. My problem: Now wordpress renders the content OF THE PARTICULAR PAGE but not my articles. How can I achiev rendering articles instead of the page content? I have to use a page with a template cause my home (index.php) is just a landing page. I would really be happy if u could give some tips, or maybe links … I couldn’t find a solutiosn via google yet. Don’t really know exactly what to search for. Sorry for my bad english and greets from Europe, Jens

Thank you.

This is working beautifully! Is it possible to apply this to a second loop?
On my front page (where this tutorial is aimed at) i want the loop to act as default, but at my second loop i want it to be in columns.

Any ideas?

course that ends up making them grid up… which may or may not be desirable. hmmmm….

I tweaked your css as i was finding longer/shorter excerpts were messing up where the divs were… and (maybe it was b/c I was using the thematic 2col left template, but titles and such were getting lost since the columns are 250px with hidden overflow, but the .hentry class was 600 something pixels.

.column{width:250px; display:inline;float:left; overflow:hidden;} .clear-fix{display:box;} .one{margin-right:40px; clear: left;} .two{clear: right;} .hentry{padding:0;} .column .entry-content{width:245px;} .column .hentry { width: 100%;}

i think i am going to try to tweak it further so that the first post is above all the others and spans both columns.

thanks for the snippet!!

you put the functions into functions.php and the styling into style.css

Could you explain where exactly to add the else if and change the counter for a 3 column post layout?

I would like to know how to do this.
