Creating a page that looks like category.php (Template)

Try!

<?php
$args = array(
   'posts_per_page' => 10,
   'cat' => 5,
   'paged' => $paged
);
?>
<?php query_posts( $args ); ?>

No Pagination to get all posts in the category change 10 to:

'posts_per_page' => -1,

Hi,
I see you have it sorted.

What does the that code do?

What you was missing was the navigation, all we done was told WordPress we wanted the query results to be paged, using the WordPress global $paged.

'paged' => $paged

The other line just tells WordPress how many posts to show, the default (10) is set in settings, but we could over-write that and display more or less, if we have large posts we may only want two so the visitor does not have to scroll.

So we would add:

'posts_per_page' => 2,

Guessing it replaces the <?php query_posts(“cat=#”); ?> in the templete?

That is correct, all we have done is created an argument array and passed it to query_posts( $args ), it is a matter of choice, I just thing the array is easier to read, construct and understand, than a long text string.

As we can see it can get messy, although for this example below we should use wp_query();

<?php query_posts( 'cat=5&posts_per_page=10&paged=$paged&order=ASC&orderby=title' ); ?>

If your topic is resolved can you change the status of the topic please.
