• How would one go about having posts from one category only displayed on a subpage made within WordPress?

    I’m trying to avoid setting up a whole new blog just to post one topic on its own page…

    Anybody? Surely SOMEONE won’t be watching the Super Bowl today…. =P

    I would love to know the solution for this too!

    Wrong questions hardly get answered…
    Most users get confused when reading about “posts” being displayed on Pages – so they click the Back button.

    Why not just exclude that category from being displayed on the main index – and you can use Plugins or solutions with The_Loop and query_posts.
    As for displaying that hidden category on its own: use Category_Templates

    This is almost exactly the same discussion I was having yesterday in this topic: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/60661

    moshu :: I would do it the way you describe but I don’t like the way the permalinks appear. I would provide my own back button navigation. What I’m really concerned about is being able to use ‘<!–more–>’ and excerpts (because, in my case, I’m embedding flash files that I don’t want to appear except in single post mode).

    Making a category template page (called, for example, category-6.php) works for my purposes until people click the post (to see the flash file), at which point in time they view the post with single.php and my navigation now tells them they are in the ‘archives’. I’m trying to avoid that.

    All this would be for naught if Gallery2 or CopperMine actually integrated with WordPress for “real”. 🙂
