   I am using the basicpress theme for my client's website. The navbar at the top uses pages and automatically creates new links once I have made a new page. I would like to have one link in particular link to a category archive listing with thumbnails.

   I have used Sobeks Posts in Category plugin to allow me to list posts on a page, but I do not want them to display as links.

   Here is how the link to the page works now:
   http://test.hatc.org/?page_id=150

   I would like it to display results like this:
   http://test.hatc.org/?cat=3

   Does anyone have any ideas on how I might achieve this?

   Thanks!

   In your theme's header.php file where it says <?php wp_list_pages(); ?> and insert <?php wp_list_categories(); ?> directly after (or before, depending on where you want it to appear) it.

   More on wp_list_categories here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

   Here's another possible solution:
   How to easily display links to both Pages and Categories in the blog navigation header?

   Good point, I've used that plugin for other purposes, but not for categories.
   That'd be much simpler.

   Thanks to you both ;) I did find that the page links to plugin was the easiest solution. Much appreciated!
