'">' . $category->name . '</a></li>'; } ?> </ul> <? // our variables $numposts = (isset($_get['numposts'])) ? $_get['numposts'] : 0; $page = (isset($_get['pagenumber'])) ? $_get['pagenumber'] : 0; query_posts(array( 'posts_per_page' => $numposts, 'paged' => $page, 'post_type' => 'theme_video' )); // our loop if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()){ the_post(); get_template_part( 'partials/content', 'browse' ); } } wp_reset_query(); ?>

place code in category.php. automatically grab category url , pass cat => $category_id , update loop accordingly.

<ul class="sort-by-category"> <? $args = array( 'orderby' => 'name', 'parent' => 0 ); $categories = get_categories( $args ); foreach ( $categories $category ) { echo '<li><a class="browse-categories" href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '">' . $category->name . '</a></li>'; } ?> </ul> <? // our variables $page = (isset($_get['pagenumber'])) ? $_get['pagenumber'] : 0; // grab slug url $category_id = get_query_var('cat'); // define args $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => '36', 'paged' => $page, 'post_type' => 'theme_video', 'cat' => $category_id ); // place args in query $category_posts = new wp_query($args); // our loop if($category_posts->have_posts()) { while($category_posts->have_posts()) { $category_posts->the_post(); get_template_part( 'partials/content', 'browse' ); } } wp_reset_query(); ?>
