Are we talking about categories or Pages.
Categories cannot be children of a “page”.
No, what I have right now are a bunch of static pages and also, separatley, a category of posts that is to be updated. How would I do something like this
if current page is child or grandchild of (specific page)
then list titles of given category…
Let me clarify, now that I am looking at some more documentation it is more correct to ask how to list the posts’ titles of a given category.
I did that once on a category template (category-X.php), where it will pick the posts from cat ID# =X automatically, and simply deleted the_content from The_Loop, so it dislpayed only the_title.
If you want it on a Page then you should “tell” the Loop to show only cat=X.
e.g. Template_Tags/query_posts
Do you have some sample code? I’m new to both php and wordpress. Thanks for everything!
Would it be on a Page or on a Category_Template?
I am not sure what the difference would be but I am needing a more generic solution so am thinking for the page.
I just need it to do this…
if current page is child or grandchild of (specific page)
then list posts’ titles of given category…
OK.
You make a Page template (see details here: Pages#Page_Templates) and replace the Loop with this:
<?php query_posts('cat=XX&showposts=-1'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
XX = the category ID number;
-1 = means show all posts;
Of course, change the HTML tags around the template tags – I copied over what I have in my Page.
I can’t help with the if… part – I am not a coder, sorry.
Try Google search:

I know pages don’t have categories, but is it possible to assign a category to them? If so I could easily take care of the if part…
No, you cannot assign category to Pages.
