If I understand correctly, what you want to do is just list the titles of the apps on a page as links to the app articles.
If that is correct, and the slug for your Business Apps category is business-apps, you can make a copy of archive.php named category-business-apps.php.
Then strip out all the excess content and change the number of posts_per_page.
You are correct about what I would like to accomplish.
I am not sure how to do what you suggest. Not a good wordpress changer/alterer of code. Is there an easier way or description?
Are you saying to copy the archive.php file and re-name it category-business-apps?
Stripping out the excess is to remove content not wanted from the archive.php file?
Where do I change the number of posts-per-page?
Hope you don’t mind all the questions.
Thanks,
John
If you will put a copy of your archive.php file in a pastebin and post a link to it here, I will take a look at it and offer more concrete suggestions.
Copy this pastebin article to category-business-apps.php in your theme folder.
I copied the top part of the code box first (“download…”)…nothing changed. Then the bottom part (“submit a corrected…”)…nothing changed.
I added it to the theme (Business Corp) I am currently using. I am sure I did something incorrectly.
What do I need to do? The file is still installed.
Thanks,
John
The file is named: category-business-apps.php
Check to make sure the file name is formed correctly. Make sure the ‘slug’ for the category is business-apps. Otherwise, try naming the file ‘category-33.php’ where 33 is the id of the category. See the Codex article on Category Templates.
My mistake. The file had a .php.txt extension. I just re-named and it works fine.
Is there a way to make the names in the list larger? They are kind of small.
Thanks,
John
Add these lines to the end of style.css:
div#content ul li.title a { font-size: 1.5em; }
div#content ul { padding-left: 20px; }
Thank you for your time and help. It is truly appreciated.
John
