   Hello. I was wondering if I could put a certain catagory on a page, or list a catagory in the pages menu. I did a search, and the topic I found simply stated that Catagories and pages are seperate.

   So, I was curious to know if I could do something like an include. I've never made my own mod before... so I'm not looking to do that. I have a catagory for my photography. What I want to do is make a page, then 'include' the catagory file via php.

   Something similar is the contact form I have set up. There's a file on my webspace, In Touch. When making a page, i just put <!--intouch--> and it brings up that in touch form in the page itself. I want somethign like this, but I want to bring up the photography catagory. I don't even need the quick tag, I just need to call it once for one page.

   All help is apprecated, and thanks! ^.^

   Download the following plugin, which will allow you to insert php code in a post.

   And then insert the following code to call all posts of category "photo"
   <phpcode>
<ul>
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=photo'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_content(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</phpcode>

   Wow! thanks so much! Works perfectly!

   Also, is there a way to include a comments link? I tried placing
   <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments')); ?>
   after the content piece, but no luck.

   I was beaten to the punch, but I quite like David Chait's CG-QuickPHP plugin that lets you create any kind of php code on those WP Pages.

   You can try it out here:
