Hi all,
first off, here's my test blog. When you look at the index page, you will notice that in the left column, information on each post is displayed (date, author, category...). When you click on a category, say "Test1", you are taking to it's archive page. Apparently, the archive pages don't display the post's information the same way as on the home page.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get that done?
Thanks all,
Don-Felix
You need to add the appropriate template tags to the relevant template file - catgeory.php or perhaps archive.php - in your theme.

Thank you esmi. I guess I wasn't being overly specific as to where my problem was. I am aware that I have to add those tags to, in my case, the category.php file. I can however only accomplish it to look the way it currently looks, i.e. the information is displayed underneath the headline of the post. What I want to accomplish is an identical look as on the home page, meaning all the information displayed in the left column (looks like a sidebar).
Additionally, it might help to know that I am not really an expert at coding, more of a copy and paste type of guy.
But again, thank you for your effort so far.
Have you tried just simply copying your index.php template file and renaming the copy catgeory.php? Make a backup of your current category.php file first, though - so that you have something to go back to if it doesn't work.
