The way I would like my blog to work is a user clicks on a post that was published on 12th March 2012 (for example) they get taken to single.php where the content of that post is displayed as normal.
Beneath this content I would like to display all posts published before it, not after. How can I edit my existing loop to do this? Here’s my working loop that currently displays all posts, no matter what the date:
<!-- Show all posts within this category -->
<div id="post-wrap">
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
'category_name' => 'offsite',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 1
);
query_posts($args);
if( have_posts() ) :?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<article>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>"><?php the_title(); ?> <span>/ <?php the_time('l jS F') ?></span></a></h1>
<?php the_content(''); ?>
<div class="a-options">
<a href="#new" class="comments scrollto">Comment</a>
<!-- share -->
<div class="share-button">
<div class="buttons">
<div class="facebook">
<div class="fb-like" data-href="www.MyKettlesYard.co.uk" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="95" data-show-faces="false" data-font="Arial"></div>
<span class="child-pseudo">Facebook</span>
</div>
<div class="twitter">
<a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="www.MyKettlesYard.co.uk" data-text="Kettles Yard, Cambridge - www.MyKettlesYard.co.uk" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a><script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<span class="child-pseudo">Twitter</span>
</div>
</div>
<span class="pseudo-button">+ Share</span>
</div> <!--! /share -->
</div><!--! /a-options -->
<?php global $withcomments;
$withcomments = 1;
comments_template(); ?>
</article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div id="next-prev-wrap" class="nextprev"><?php next_posts_link( 'Older posts /', $post->max_num_pages ); ?> <?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts', $post->max_num_pages ); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div>
How about something along these lines?
