I found out how to do it! 🙂
Below is the code I needed to add, from what I understand it doesn’t override the entire loop and adds in only what I want it to do which is display all the posts associated with the category being displayed. I just placed this chunk before the if loop.
<?php
//get the $query_string in to your $args array
global $query_string;
parse_str( $query_string, $args );
//modify whatever you want
$args['posts_per_page'] = -1;
query_posts($args);
?>
Just wanted to share in case anyone else needed a simple solution.
So, I accomplished Concept 2 HOWEVER, I’d like to incorporate Concept 1, if it’s possible. It’d be much easier to just edit an existing post and click a toggle rather than duplicating content.
Wonderful! Thank you so much 🙂 Coming from a Drupal background with the fab Views, I’m happy to finally find something that works in a similar way and is free; much appreciated. Keep on, keeping on!
And, with such a quick response time—love it!
