you would use templates for individual pages in 2.8.
if you create a “mypagetemplate.php” file in your theme folder and place at the very top of this file – this code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: mypagetemplate.php
*/
?>
wordpress automatically interprets it as a template file that you can assign to individual pages.
(tip: copy paste the index file code into your template, just to have something to work with…)
This page may then be filtered for different categories by using either query_posts calls or in_category calls in the template file.
read the help files for each function.
it is all very clear as sausage water 😉
*edit: There is a strong reason to use query_posts instead of in_category, because ‘the loop’ still counts up using the in_category call, and if you have 10 non category in a row, your page won’t display anything, while the query_post will display a clean 10 post regardless, (if that is your setting) everytime and anytime…
Thanks MichaelH, the method in that link did the trick for me! 😀
I installed the ‘Page Links To’ plugin together with ‘My Page Order’, linked the Pages to the Category urls and voila 🙂
