In reply to: RSS a Page AutomaticallyShane G:
Have you used that plugin? It sounds like it would include ALL pages, when all I really want is one. Also It would likely RSS the page every time there is an update, and I would prefur to only have the page sent out once a week. I will try this plugin out later, if you think it is worth a try..

In reply to: RSS a Page Automaticallyiridiax: I am sorry if that sounded insulting, or harsh. I did not intend it as such. It had been a long day, and I thought I had been clear in the original post, but was not. However, your post really didn’t answer anything. It only re-stated the problem I had.

In reply to: RSS a Page AutomaticallyThank you for being completely useless. I am well aware of the fact that pages are not included in RSS feeds. Thats why I am posting here to find a way to do what I want.
Anyone have something useful to say?

In reply to: Exclude Single Category Name from “the_category” CommandI may not be understanding what you want correctly, but It sounded like the same problem I was dealing with, just today.
I was using 3 specific categories, as main categories, that I could link to, in the nav bar. But did not want those categories to be listred at the end of each post, just the rest of the categories the posts happened to be in.
At first, I chose the same fix that you did, using the CSS to edit out the category I didn’t want listed.
Then I found a much much much better way to do it. A million times easier too. So easy I can’t believe I didn’t see it to begin with. Lets say for the sake of example, that I was using the the Category ‘All’ which had an id of 20. This allowed me to link to a page (www.website.com/?cat=20)
Then I have other categories, such as ‘News’, ‘Movies’, ‘Journal’, etc.. Each post would be in one of those other categories as well as ‘All’. So what I did, was make ‘News’ and ‘Movies’ and ‘Journal’ etc… child categories of ‘All’. Now, none of the posts are actually in ‘All’. But, since the category they are in is a child of ‘All’ then the link going to the category page for ‘All’ still works, because it will load anything within the category, including children categories.
Like I said..don’t know if thats what you were trying to do, but it sounded like it to me, and this is how I fixed it.

In reply to: Categories on a pageI spent a few hours trying to figure this out myself today. Search the forums, found multiple posts asking the same question, but no answers. Finally, I just buckled down, and figured it out myself.
Easiest way I could come up with, was to create a custom page template. I called mine catpage.php. Looked something like this:
<?php /* Template Name: catpage */ get_header(); ?> <h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2> <ul> <?php wp_list_cats(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>once that was done, I went into my dashboard, and created a new page. I left it blank, and told it to use the template “catpage’.
From there, it was a simple matter of putting a link to that page (in my case, http://www.cowboys4god.com/?page_id=238) into the sidebar (you could of course put it anywhere you wanted.I also chose to then open my style.css sheet, and define a catpage class, so that I could adjust how the template page looked by adding the <div class=”catpage”> tag into the template.
There may be an easier way to do this, but this is how I did it, and it worked quite well. I now have a ‘Categories’ page, which lists the categories, as well as the number of posts within each. You can of course use any of the arguments for the wp_list_cats() tag.
Hope this helps.
