Question

I have a blog that lists articles, when clicking on the link to show the full article it returns the same article, which happens to be the latest. I have made sure that all 3 articles are open. Here is my article template entries tag:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="1" dynamic="no" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" }

I have tried it with dynamic on as well, but that doesn’t work either. Just in case you think that I happen to be linking to the same article, here is my listing template:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="off" status="Open|Featured"}

<div class="entry">
  <p class="title"><a href="{path='news/{title}'}">{title}</a></h2>
  <p class="date meta">{entry_date format="%M %j, %Y"}</p>
  <div class="entry-content">
     {news_summary}
  </div>
</div>  

{/exp:channel:entries}

Answer 1

I’m assuming you want the full articles to be at /news/the-title-of-the-post

For the full article template, you don’t want dynamic="no". Leave it off or explicitly set dynamic="yes".

In your listing template, for your href try {url_title_path}, which appends the URL title to a template/group of your choice:

<p class="title"><a href="{url_title_path='news'}">{title}</a></h2>

What’s happening is you’re loading /news/The%20Title%20of%20The%20Post, which is not going to match the URL Title. Then, because EE can’t find any matching URL title and you have dynamic="no", it displays the latest article regardless of the URL.
