In reply to: Displaying tags — method to do what I did with categoriesWell, I’ll show you what I’m trying to do, because I’m not very good at explaining. I try to do complicated things yet I’m not very savvy so it doesn’t always work out great. 😉
Here’s one page I’m trying to rework. It’s a list of film reviews, and previously I had a category for each letter of the alphabet to display in individual sections, using the code above. It comes out looking like this:
http://www.thelifecinematic.com/category/screening-log/
But when I change from category to tag, using either method I guessed at above, it doesn’t seem to recognize it; instead it gives me a list of every post I ever made.

In reply to: Problem with “The category you are trying to create already exists.”To the original poster, if you are still looking for a solution, I found this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164615?replies=1
which confirms that duplicate child categories are no longer allowed (big irrational mistake, I think) and gives a decent workaround (a pain, but it works). Cheers!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with “The category you are trying to create already exists.”I’m having a similar problem, with the new WP version, needing several sets of A-Z categories, and they would have had different links anyhow, but even giving completely unique slugs doesn’t help. Still “The category you are trying to create already exists.” Which of course it doesn’t. This was not a problem in previous WP incarnations.
A note of commiseration, then, and an echoed appreciation for any help!

In reply to: Displaying only one category linkThanks to anyone who may have tried to help; I think I’m going to fudge it using this http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/in_category
If anyone knows of a more direct solution I would still be interested.

In reply to: Displaying only one category linkUnfortunately that won’t work with my organizational structure. Having the proliferation of categories is useful in other ways, as I have category templates set up for each to display most categories differently. I’m caught up in trying to use WP as a CMS, I guess, and it gets quite tricky. 🙂
To get into specifics, if it helps, my blog is at http://www.thelifecinematic.com/ It’s a film review blog, basically. Each film is in multiple categories for the year it was released, the director, the country and so forth. But all I want it to say in the post itself is the category “film review.” If you click on the links to the categories for the year or director, you get a different display. So that’s why I’ve got so many categories, and can’t give them up…
Thanks for the suggestion, though!
