    I use arclite theme and am trying to set it so that if somebody clicks on a category and goes to the category archive, a certain post that I have written which is basically the main post of the category will always appear at the top and then all the other posts will be below it (in any order).

    I have no idea how to do this. Can anybody help.

    This plugin could do that:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/astickypostorderer/

    Otherwise you would need to specify a method of identifying that ‘master post’ for each category. For instance you could use a custom field called ‘category_sticky’ with a value of the category id or category name, then use query_posts to query for that post in your category template.

    Thanks for the help – I think I will try the plugin first. I am less likely to mess anything up that way lol.

    I have the same problem and am also using Arclite theme – but the astickypostorderer is only compatible up to: 2.9.2 of wordpress. Does anybody know of another plugin that does the same thing and is compatible with the latest WP version?
