Technical details

  • The loop shortcode is used to query WordPress posts and “loop” through the results.
  • The Publications page has multiple loop shortcodes, one for each year. Each loop shortcode queries for posts in the publications category and given year, and displays the post’s body, which contains the publication details. Here’s the loop shortcode to display 2021 articles. Notice the shortcode parameters for year and category_name.
  • The Quantum Materials and Quantum Sensors pages have a single loop shortcode, which queries for posts in the publications category which have also been tagged with “Quantum Materials” or “Quantum Sensors”.

Troubleshooting

Publication does not show up on the Publications page

Make sure the publication post has been published, that the publication date/time is correct, and that a loop shortcode exists for the publication’s year. If a loop shortcode does not exist for the publication’s year, edit the Publications page, copy/paste the loop shortcode from a previous year, update the pasted shortcode’s year parameter, and save the page.
