Another category question – category page

    Hello all,

    I just want to say I did do a quick search before posting this.

    What im trying to do is have it so when I click on my categories for it to show a page or a post that shows all the names of the posts under that category instead of showing the all of the posts and all the content written for each one.

    For example if you visit my blog: reefchronicle.com
    I have it set up right now where I have my parent categories and all my sub-categories showing. each sub category has its own single post. what i want to be able to do is get rid of all the sub categories and just have the parents. But, i would like it to show a static page with a list of posts in each category when the category is clicked on – not just all the posts in the order they were made.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Sounds like you might want to develop a custom category template. Or edit your current template.

    Pretty much – yes. But it’s not that big a deal. With luck, you can simply create a copy of your index.php file, rename the copy to category.php, amend a few lines and you’ll be good to go.

    If you want to go ahead, drop the code for your new category.php in http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/ and paste the url here. I’ll have a look at see if I can make some edits for you.

    Esmi,
    I could use your help in this regard. Here is my paste bin link: http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1391838. That represents my index.php file for my theme.

    What I want is for all posts that are marked under category “2” which is also called “Blogroll” to only appear on one of my pages called “Blogging” and nowhere else. How do I do that?
