I have the home page http://www.faberunashop.com posts set up so that when you click on each individual post you get redirected to another site. I just noticed that when you search or use the categories, the posts ignore my custom code and let you enter the post instead. How do I fix that?

Bob

How does your loop code look like? I can see you have the images wrapped in a anchor tag linking to the appropriate website. However, the link on your categories/searches lead to the post indeed. My guess is your loop code on your home page is different than the loop code on your categories page, so try checking that or post them here.

Faberuna

Bob - where would I find the loop code? I will check and post what I find.

chrisburton

In the index.php file

Bob

Actually I think you can find it in the loop-page.php file.

Faberuna

Here's the index.php:

<?php get_header(); ?> 

              <ul class="mcol">
              <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Phew, please put it between code tags :)
Edit your post, select the code and press the 'Code' button (4th button from the left on this comment box).

You forgot 404.php

Faberuna

Sorry about the code tag omission! I don't see the 404.php. Does it go by another name?

chrisburton

I was kidding. Did you significantly alter your search.php and what theme are you using?

Faberuna

LOL! Don't mess with a Monday morning brain. I am using the Imbalance theme from www.wpshower.com and I only changed the text in the search.php, that is all.

chrisburton

What exactly do you mean, "I only changed the text"?

I think the problem resolves in the search.php template and I'm not sure why you have your h2 like this:

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

Faberuna

I only changed the Search form but that was in the searchform.php

Faberuna

I know the solution is probably simple but I really just want my search and category section to behave like my homepage: click on the post image and be taken to another site.

chrisburton

I can't even enter the site without being redirected.

Faberuna

Is my site http//:www.faberunashop.com redirecting you?

Faberuna

Sorry about that. It's been hacked. UGGG!

chrisburton

After 20 seconds or so, yes.

Faberuna

Sorry about that. It's been hacked. UGGG!

Faberuna

Fixed. Now, as you were saying...

chrisburton

Ah ok, so I think to resolve this, you would need to add a code in your functions.php file to only allow the URL specified in your search results. @TheDoc knows more about this than I do.

Faberuna

Cool. Thanks for your help and patience!

Faberuna

This is the code that I added to functions.php to get the post images to redirect:

function print_post_title() {
	global $post;
	$thePostID = $post->ID;
	$post_id = get_post($thePostID);
	$title = $post_id->post_title;
	$perm  = get_permalink($post_id);
	$post_keys = array(); $post_val  = array();
	$post_keys = get_post_custom_keys($thePostID);

	if (!empty($post_keys)) {
  	  foreach ($post_keys as $pkey) {
    	    if ($pkey=='url1' || $pkey=='title_url' || $pkey=='url_title') {
      	      $post_val = get_post_custom_values($pkey);
    	    }
  	  }
  	  if (empty($post_val)) {
    	    $link = $perm;
  	  } else {
    	    $link = $post_val[0];
  	  }
	} else {
  	  $link = $perm;
	}
	echo '<h2><a href="'.$link.'" rel="bookmark" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a></h2>';

Faberuna

If I can just get that code to place in my functions.php, I'd be a happy little camper!

chrisburton

I'm not entirely sure how to resolve this. I know a minimum of php and Wordpress. You could try either stackoverflow.com or the Wordpress forums. Hopefully someone else here can help.

Bob

Ok I only quickly scanned the code you posted, no idea if I have the right thing here.. but in your index.php file, right after your

you are calling that function you posted here above: <?php print_post_title() ?>.In your archive.php and your search.php file, there is no such line after your <div class="article-over">,instead it immediately has a <h2>with the_permalink.Perhaps try adding in that same line of code like you have on your index.php page?

I think this might solve it, but I'm not 100% sure.. because even though the whole image is clickable on your index.php page, the print_post_titlefunction only echo's a <h2>with the_permalink,which doesn't wrap around the image.. Weird, but this might be a start?

Faberuna

Thanks. I will give it a try. If you'd like backdoor access to my site, let me know.

TheDoc

Holy hell this is one heck of a thread. I think I see the problem. I'm swamped at the moment, but I'll get back to you in a couple hours!

Faberuna

Thanks Doc! {And everyone else. You guys make this neophyte's little heart happy!}

TheDoc

So, basically, anywhere you see "the_permalink", it's going to be linking to the post in question, and not your redirect. If you just comb through your search.php file you'll see what I'm talking about. But here's an example:

<div class="article-over">
                      <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

Faberuna

OK, so what do I change?

Faberuna

Do I put the custom field information?

TheDoc

Yup. Treat it just like any other loop!

Faberuna

Just to be sure, here is the code on my search.php

<?php get_header(); ?> 
              <h1>Search Result for <?php /* Search Count */ $allsearch = &new WP_Query("s=$s&showposts=-1"); $key = wp_specialchars($s, 1); $count = $allsearch->post_count; _e(''); _e('&#8220;'); echo $key; _e('&#8221;'); _e(' &mdash; '); echo $count .

            <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

What do i replace?

TheDoc

In this line:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
You'll see the_permalink. This is what links to your post. If you don't want it to link to your post, you'll have to change that.

Anywhere you see:
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
It will link to the post.

Faberuna

[SOLVED] Fixed it. Instead of changing the code, which I have NO idea how to (I just tinker) I found a plugin that does it just as well. Thanks for your help!
