At wits end with static WP page and category listings…

    For a couple of days I have been trying to create a WP static page that displays two of my categories as lists.

    Many people have replied, for which I am very thankful. Unfortunately the plugin suggestions did not work or did not do what I needed.

    I would like to have a WP static page display two of my categories as lists. How can I do this? I am not a “coder”, but I can learn. If you go to http://www.delaflor.com and click on the Articles and Tutorials link in the menubar thats where I want to display the list.

    I tried grabbing the php commands from a page that calls in posts like the index.php or arhive.php pages from my theme (iNove) and inserting it into the static page. Nothing happened.

    I tried the smartarchives.php plugin but that simply did not work. Then I tried the sobeks-post-in-category plugin but the instruction pages are down.

    I am running out of ideas. But I bet there is a simple answer.

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Mike

    You need to create a page template and assign that template to the page which you want to display the categories.

    Then you need to customize the template. You should create two loops, one for each category. an you should use query_posts to specify the category want.

    I hope that points you in the right direction.
