ere we come again with part 2 of splitting the code. Today I will talk about archives.php, single.php, page.php and search.php. let’s start….

 

Step *1: create a new php file using any editor, name it achieve.php and save.

Copy everything in your index.php and paste it in archieves.php and save.

 

Now, open the archives.php and replace <?php the_content(); ?>with <?php the_excerpt(); ?> and save.

 

Why did I do that?

Because this way the archieves.php will be different from index.php, you won’t have a duplicate contents in your site, it is better for google and other search engines. And  by using the_excerpt() function we will get only the excerpts of the posts not the full posts.

 

Step *2: create another php file, name it search.php and copy everything from archives.php and paste it in search.php and save.

In this step, I made all the search results to show up as excerpt not like the index, I mean full posts.

 

Step *3: create a new php file, name it page.php, copy everything from index.php and paste it in page.php and save.

Now type this code under <?php the_content(); ?> and save.

<?php link_pages(’<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’); ?>

<?php edit_post_link(’Edit’, ‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); ?>

This code <?php link_pages(’<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’); ?> for adding links in sub pages.

And this code <?php edit_post_link(’Edit’, ‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); ?> used for allowing the administrator edit the post.

 

Step *4: in page.php, remove the postmeta , and here is what you will get:

<div class="entry">

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>

<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

</div>

Step *5: in page.php, remove the following navigation code and save.

<div class="navigation">

<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

</div>

Step *6: create another php file, name it single.php, copy everything from index.php and paste it in single.php and save.

type this code under <?php the_content() ?> and save.

<?php link_pages(’<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’); ?>

Step *7: in single.php, Remove this code <?php comments_popup_link(); ?> and the <br /> tag before it. now you will have something like this:

<p class="postmetadata">

<?php _e('Filed under&#58;'); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> <?php  the_author(); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' &#124; ', ''); ?>

</p>

Step *8: in single.php, replace this code <?php posts_nav_link(); ?> with the following code, and save.

<?php previous_post_link(’&laquo; %link’) ?> <?php next_post_link(’ %link &raquo;’) ?>

That’s all for splitting the code, now the only thing left to finish this tutorial is adding the comments to the post, seeya next week.
