ahhh, your response led me to the solution, which was pretty simple, of course.

my header file was missing <?php wp_head();?> before </head>

I added that and the slideshow now works.

thanks!

Hi MichaelH –
Sorry to be confusing – I am referring to it as a ‘header’image – as it will be at the top of the main content area on each page. However, it is not in the header part of the webpage. I suppose I should have chosen a different word to refer to it as. Any suggestions?

So the previous issue remains….the code does not appear to be picking up the tag correctly.

I feel like we were very close and appreciate all of the help thus far. Any continued tips or suggestions would be great!

Hi MichaelH.
Thanks for the reply. I tried that out, and the <pre></pre> tags come up empty, with no tag or any other information inside of them.

So I imagine that means it is not getting the tag properly at all.

Any ideas?

One question for you, is in the code where you put `$tag_name = $posts[0]->ID; //use page id for tag name
` are you saying I should change that line manually, or is the comment saying that I should tag the post with the Page ID that I want it to appear on? I assumed the latter, but want to verify.

Other than that, what do you think? Appreciate the help!

Thanks, MichaelH.

I played with the code you provided a bit and got it to work to a certain degree.

The ‘headerImage’ category posts which all contain 1 image and a caption, are getting displayed in the proper place. However, the tag aspect of it appears to be ignored all together — with the template displaying the most recent post in the ‘headerImage’ category instead of the most recent post tagged with the page ID of the page you are on.

Here is the code I am working with

<?php
if (is_page()) {
$cat_id = get_cat_ID('headerImage');
$tag_name = $posts[0]->ID; //use page id for tag name
$tag = get_term_by('name', $tag_name, 'post_tag');
$args=array(
  'cat' => $cat_id,
  'tag_in'=> array($tag->term_id),
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_content(''); ?>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
}
?>

<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>

I tried just adding that line in after the `<?php
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>`

It included a link that led to artists/page/2 – which I want, but it just shows the first 5 Artists again (identical to page 1). Any ideas what I would need to add so that each additional page pulls the next 5 from the list, instead of always the same first 5?

(michael it worked thank you!)

I’m messing something up =/

<?php
$args=array(
  'orderby' => 'meta_value',
  'meta_key' => 'ArtistLastName',
  'order' => 'ASC',

  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Posts';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

                	<h2 class="artist"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
                   <div class="alignright art">
                    <?php the_content();?></div>

					<div class="bio"><?	echo get_post_meta($post->ID, Bio, true);?></div>

                    <div class="clear" style="margin-bottom:60px;"></div>
