    Hello,

    I'm looking for a way to include a category feed at the bottom of one of my pages without editing the theme. I've looked through some of the other posts on the forum, but they all seem to include creating new templates or editing the theme.

    Is there an simpler solution?

    Thanks!

    If your theme has a footer widget area you might be able to use a widget to do it. There is a plugin called Widget Logic that lets you choose which pages a widget will or will not show on. OTTOMH that would be about the only way to do it without creating new templates or editing the theme.

    Hi ljhewlett,

    How about using the following two plugins together?

    First, this one will create a widget to show your posts filtered by category:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-category-posts-list/

    Then you can use this one to add that new widget to your page:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widgets-on-pages/

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you both for the quick replies.

    ChristiNi, I'll take a look at those plugins.

    Ended up creating a new template. Good learning experience and WAY easier than I imagined it being!
