   Hi my website http://www.beingll.com/wordpress

   I have vast categories and I would like to move them off the side bar and on to
   a separate page. Does any body have any ideas. They could get a free good posted out to them like a hand screen printed gig poster for helping ?

   Thanks

   Lady Lucy

   Wow that' a lot of categories lol. Yeah you just have to create a new page and set up a page template that will list all of the categories out for you.

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Categories
   */
   ?>
   ...div stuff here
   <?php wp_list_categories( ); ?>

   Help again. I am needing help again. Will this template work and where do I put it. I am a quite new to templates. Even though I have read the codex, I can't seem to work it out.

   Do you just put that template in the main Wordpress folder ?

   Thanks very much

   No, put the template in your theme folder. If you were using the WordPress Default theme you would put the template in the wp-content/themes/default folder.

   Thanks . I have made a file ( template) called

   beingllcat.php in the default theme folder.

   No I need to know how to link the template to the page.
   In the codex It tells me how to do this on the dash board but not manually

   I am wondering if somebody could help.

   Thanks very much again.

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Categories
   */
   ?>
   ...div stuff here
   <?php wp_list_categories( ); ?>

   If you are using the Default theme you would put the file in wp-content/themes/default, but if you are using a different theme you would put it in that theme's folder.

   Why is there no Page Template option when writing or editing a Page?
