If you: * 1) Log into WordPress 2) Using the left-hand menu navigate to “Posts” 3) Under the left-hand Posts click “Categories” 4) Hover a category name and click “View” * This will take you to the page where category posts are listed. * If you want to add files to your custom theme ( if it’s not a custom theme, make a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) ) then you can **copy** or **duplicate** `index.php` and rename it to `category-{$your_category_slug_here}. php`. * For example, if I had category “Foo” the slug would be ‘foo’ and the template name would be: `category-foo.php`. You can view more templates by following [this URL](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#category). * To create CSS you could go to `Appearance -> Editor -> style.css` but be very careful here. Another method is to use FTP and navigate to your custom theme to append your CSS to style.css * Thread Starter [jimenagordillo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimenagordillo/) * (@jimenagordillo) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-for-category-pages/#post-7282789) * I am using x-theme. i know how to get to the archive page where the category is… but i vant modify that page, change the menu, add a header, etc… thats whay i want to create one similiar… i have three blogs in my page. and y have the posts under different categories so can list them apart for each. * [Howdy_McGee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howdy_mcgee/) * (@howdy_mcgee) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-for-category-pages/#post-7282796) * Since you want to change the header and menu there’s a couple ways. * **Pure CSS** – The `` usually has a specialized class that only applies to that category. It’ll probably say `category-123` or some number which is the category ID. This will let you change the existing header styles with something different. You can then save these in `style.css` or a similar file. * **Templates** – [`get_header()`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header) accepts a string argument `$name` where you can retrieve a different header file. So you could create `header-category.php` where you change the information in the header and menus in the header. Then in your category template file you would that new header: `get_header( 'category' );`. * Your best bet is to use CSS so you don’t confuse readers navigating your website. Hopefully that helps!
