Hi,

I should have make mistakes on the Copy/paste operation. There are 2 closing li at the end of the 2 first lines (I just copy paste the "latest" line and changed it into a "chapitres" line. There is also a closing ul at the end of the tabs section.
It's still not working. I'm sorry, I'm pretty bad in PHP coding.
Here is the code (I hope the copy paste will work this time).

///////////////////
//CHAPITRES POSTS
//////////////////
echo '<div id=“chapitresTabContent" class="tabContent">';
$showPostsInCategory = null;
$showPostsInCategory = new WP_Query();
$showPostsInCategory->query('cat=4’);
if ($showPostsInCategory->have_posts()) : while ($showPostsInCategory->have_posts()) : $showPostsInCategory->the_post();
get_template_part('post');
endwhile; endif;
$showPostsInCategory = null;
wp_reset_postdata();
echo '</div>';

Hi there,

There are errors in your ul (tabs) section. You omitted a closing ul tag and have li items closing with span tags. They should be closing li tags instead.

Best,

Chris

Thanks for this very quick answer.
Seems like there is an error, the page doesn't load with the modified index.php

Here are the sections I changed :

<ul id="tabs">
	<li id="latestTab" class="tab activeTab"><i class="icon-pencil"></i><span><?php _e('Latest','themolitor');?></span>
	<li id=“chapitresTab" class="tab activeTab"><i class="icon-pencil"></i><span><?php _e(‘Chapitre’,’themolitor');?></span>
	<?php if($featured){?><li id="featuredTab" class="tab"><i class="icon-star"></i><span><?php _e('Featured','themolitor');?></span><?php } ?>
	<?php if($results){?><li id="popularTab" class="tab"><i class="icon-heart"></i><span><?php _e('Popular','themolitor');?></span><?php } ?>
<!--end tabs-->

///////////////////
//CHAPITRES POSTS
//////////////////
echo '<div id=“chapitresTabContent" class="tabContent">';
$showPostsInCategory = null;
$showPostsInCategory = new WP_Query();
$showPostsInCategory->query('cat=4');
if ($showPostsInCategory->have_posts()) : while ($showPostsInCategory->have_posts()) : $showPostsInCategory->the_post();
get_template_part('post');
endwhile; endif;
$showPostsInCategory = null;
wp_reset_postdata();
echo '</div><!--end chapitresTabContent-->';

Do you have any clue?

Hi there,

Open up index.php. Notice the TABS list items on lines 25-29 and the LATEST POSTS section on lines 32-44. You'll need to add another tab li item and copy/paste the LATEST POSTS SECTION. Be sure to change the ID for the new items so they match each other (example: customTab and customTabContent). You'll also want to change the following line fom the new content you copy/pasted...

$showPostsInCategory->query('cat='. $latest);

...to the id of the category ID you want to use. Example for category 3...

$showPostsInCategory->query('cat=3');

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is possible to add some button like the "Latest" one, to display only selected categories (not using the left column).

Thanks.

Antoine.
