You can change this behaviour by including a parameter "title_li=" to remove the heading and wrapping it with a <code><ul> or <ol></code> element and style it with a class. That way you can change the font or do any other styling.

Without more specific details, nobody can answer your question. <blockquote>In which wordpress folder am I suppose to place the php file and what codes do I need to put for it to show the template. Every time I attempt this, it ends up with a strange php error. </blockquote> Page Templates go in your theme folder, and they only need that bit of header code with the Template Name parameter to show up as a template. The same code as you can find here: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates</a> Armin100 on "How do I create a categories page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285384#post-1122885 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:32:49 +0000 Armin100 1122885@http://wordpress.org/support/ I want to make a page template but everytime I do, I get php errors.

Either make a Page Template or use the ExecPHP plugin. Your call.

Last time I used it it rendered my php codes of the website. So im not really going back to that plugin. wordcastpodcast on "How do I create a categories page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285384#post-1122230 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:12:02 +0000 wordcastpodcast 1122230@http://wordpress.org/support/ If you want to go an even easier route without making a page template, just install the Exec-PHP plugin: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/</a> and include <?php wp_list_categories() ?> in the page. All done!
