 * I am not sure how to do this php coding. I am working on our club site here is
   the original website
    [wacweb.org](http://www.wacweb.org) I am recreating this
   site in WordPress Twenty Twelve using a child theme the new website is located
   here [mysite](http://www.mossgraphics.net/test/) How some of it works A login
   member can write a post. Once the post is approved the mountain they wrote about
   will be add to the mountain pages and a number will be added to the mountain 
   notifying others the number of post of that mountain. So if Mt. Reinier has 3
   posts the number 3 will be next to it and I can click on the number and it will
   take me to the post. I do not want the members to edit the mountains like before
   so I made them into pages, but I do want the posts about the mountains to be 
   added to the individual mountain. Question 1) How do I add a number to the mountain
   page if a post is written about it? 2) On the mountain pages can I condense them(
   under trip report) where they would go into the database. I create one page instead
   of 7 would that be better? with that said not sure how to do this or if I can
   do this. Can you help me figure out where to begin. thanks mossbit

 * Well it has taken me a couple of days to figure this out. What I believe I need
   to do is create a post for each and every mountain and place them in a mountain
   category. I can then create 3 loops. One that sorts the mountains the second 
   adds a mountain to the category the third adds a number to the mountain post 
   if it is there. I think the code will look something like this ( I do not have
   all of the pieces yet):
 *     ```
       <!-- Start the Loop. -->
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
        <?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?>
                  <!-- Add a number to the mountain post. -->
        <?php } else { ?>
                 <!-- If not in mountain post add the mountain to the category. -->
        <?php } ?>
   
        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
        <!-- How do I sort by mountain by altitude? Can I start the title with the altitude and sort by title?. -->
        by <?php the_title() ?>
   
        <div class="entry">
          <?php the_content(); ?>
        </div>
   
        <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
        </div> <!-- closes the first div box -->
   
        <?php endwhile; else: ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Can anyone see if I am still headed in the right direction Thanks so much

 * Hi mossbit – have you looked at something like this:

 * Thanks Wpyogi,
    I looked into this plugin and I think this will do the trick.
   I know what I want to do is complicated. I wanted to create my site with the 
   least amount of plugins. When I first started this project some folks said to
   use the least amount of plugins because they will slow down the site, but as 
   a beginner in WordPress this plugin will have to do until I can get up to speed
   with PHP
 * Thanks again for you immediate response 🙂

 * I’d agree that being smart with using plugins is good practice – and it’s true
   that some can be problematic. But on the other hand, no sense in reinventing 
   the wheel :)! From what I’ve heard, that plugin is super – and it clearly has
   excellent support from the developer! So hopefully it will do what you want and
   make your coding life a bit easier.

   plugin
