Wiki categories/archives page template

I am wanting to change the way a list of wiki articles appear on a category/archive page are shown. What is the template filename I need to use?

More details:

– I am creating a child theme for Nimble theme

– Want to change the template for URLs which use the wiki category slug … .com/wiki/categories/mycat/

– Have tried category-incsub_wiki.php, category.php, category-mycat.php, none of them are picked up.

Any thoughts?

Hi there @Carl

I hope you are well today.

This tried category-incsub_wiki.php should be getting picked up, can you put a link to some code your using please so I can check it would that be possible?

Thank you!

Kind Regards

Jack.

Just tried this one again and it’s not being picked up unfortunately. Might be something to do with how the Nimble theme is coded.

Is it possible to PM you some FTP details so you can look at the two files in question?

One is the Nimbleincludesevent.php file which renders the category pages. The other is my Nimble-childcategory-incsub_wiki.php file which should be picked up and override the original event.php file.

In the Nimbleindex.php:
```
<?php get_header(); ?>



<div id="main-area">

<div class="container">

<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">

<div id="left-area">

<?php get_template_part( 'includes/entry', 'index' ); ?>

</div> 



<?php get_sidebar(); ?>



</div> 

</div> 

</div> 



<?php get_footer(); ?>
```
Could this be the issue here?

That would be fantastic if you could send me through some FTP as I’d like to try and replicate this please :slight_smile:

You can send them to contact(at)wpmudev.org with the subject line: Attn: Jack Kitterhing

Sorry again about the delay.

Thanks for that Jack. No problems about the delay at all.

I’ve just send off the access details as instructed. Looking forward to seeing what you might figure out. Any advice at all would be appreciated.

I’ll post back results in this thread incase anyone else might find them useful.

Cheers,

Carl

Hi there Carl,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your patience.

I have just taken a look at the file and the placement of the file, the permissions etc and all looks correct and it should be overriding it, I’m going to flag the lead developer for his valuable input on this issue :slight_smile:

Thank you!

Kind Regards

Jack.

My main site is on a development machine but i setup a simple twenty twelve site for an example

http://onlinewiki.co.nf/wiki

I’ve created two pages as mentioned above (archive-incsubwiki.php and category-incsubwiki.php)

When you go to the main url (/wiki) it is grabbing the archive-incsubwiki page however when you go to a category (click from here for example http://onlinewiki.co.nf/wiki/my-first-wiki/) it falls back to the standard archive.php page

Hi there @Nathan

I hope you are well today and sorry for the extreme delay with my reply, I’ve taken a look and it does the same thing for me, I have just flagged the lead developer again, but he is currently away.

I will also include @Maniu here another of our lead developers to provide his valuable opinion on what could be happening here.

Thank you!

Kind Regards

Jack.

Hey @Nathan

Unfortunately, this plugin has some limitations… it is possible to customize /wiki/ page with archive-incsub_wiki.php but modifying wiki/categories/example is problematic as it looks like its always loading archive.php file

Solution for now could be to use:

if(get_post_type() == 'incsub_wiki') to change the look of archive.php file or even load different file if condition is met.

Thanks,

Maniu
