WordPress Snippet: Complete List of Posts

By Ozh
< View plain text >
php

  1. query_posts($query_string.'posts_per_page=-1');
  2.        while(have_posts()) {
  3.        the_post();
  4.        the_time();
  5.        the_title();
  6. }

This will display the time and title for all your posts. This could result in a very long page, and a more usable way of doing it would be to change the posts_per_page parameter, and add Next and Previous links to navigate the whole list. Code snippet by Otto in the wp-hackers mailing list.

    Yaa … great example of "snippet".

    You've got me redthinking my Codex page on "The Loop" … granularity … a ton of good links to a ton of good pages, but it's all too massive.

    Now, a collection of snippets ordered by funtionality or hooks or something … /that/ would be neat!

    Brilliant, as usual. Is there a way to set this by category rather than date? That would be really useful.

    Lorelle, you can add categories, find the number or name of your category on a category link and then check out this page…

    I'm actually having a little trouble getting all the posts to display from 2008…

    < View plain text >
    php

    1. query_posts('posts_per_page=-1'&amp;'year=2008');

    When I designate the poss_per_page alone it will display all the posts I've made since I started my blog…but that defeats the purpose of specifying a year! Ideas?

    I was adding extra quotes where it's more like an HTTP query…

    < View plain text >
    php

    1. query_posts("posts_per_page=-1&amp;year=2008");

    Thanks for the tips. I was looking for a way to display all the posts on a blog of mine, this helps a lot!
