 * Thanks, it helped me, I created category.php and its working fine now.
 * The only thing now I want to understand is how to paginate it? I’m currently 
   doing the following and its listing all the posts under a category:
 *     ```
       while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       					<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title();//printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
       					<!--<p class="post_author"><em>by</em> <?php the_author(); ?></p>-->
       					<div class="format_text">
       <?php the_content('<p>Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?>
       <?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
       					</div>
   
       				<?php comments_template(); ?>
       <?php
       					endwhile;
       ```
   
 * How do I get paginated results e.g. 10 posts per page and then a navigation bar
   at the bottom of the page / below last post of the page.
 * Thanks

    Unfortunately, 1. the options here is for a page

 * Ah! the options are there by default, they were hidden and when we expand screen

 * The option for my requirement is in Discussions.

 * Thanks Rev,
    You exactly pointed out the problem. I got the Categories.
 * The only problem I’ve now is “the URL”.
    While editing the post I see: Permalink:
   [http://localhost/mysite/gb_cmspage/my-cms-page](http://localhost/mysite/gb_cmspage/my-cms-page)
 * I selected category called “Content”.
 * So it should be:
    Permalink: [http://localhost/mysite/content/my-cms-page](http://localhost/mysite/content/my-cms-page)
 * Clicking the View takes me to
    [http://localhost/mysite/gb_cmspage/my-cms-page](http://localhost/mysite/gb_cmspage/my-cms-page)
   that says “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
 * Thanks

 * Thanks Rev,
    Unfortunately, adding `'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag', 'category'),`
   did not show Categories for me.
 * Am I doing something wrong?

    wp-admin/options-permalink.php by specifying: /%category%/%
   postname%
 * Then why it is not recommended? Please read the following link:

 * I’m new to wordpress and already read the link you mentioned, it says
    “Starting
   Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.”
 * So if I can not use the following:
    %category%/%postname%
 * then what is the best way to implement it?

 * Thanks Ipstenu for the detailed suggestion. I think I’ll go with WordPress. It’s
   not the question of skill set, my concern was related to the development time.
   I’ve no problem designing a WordPress theme or installing additional plug-ins
   or even learning its code framework and writing a customized plug-in. I’ve been
   doing the same for Drupal and Joomla. I think I did not ask my question properly
   and that created the confusion. All I wanted to say that I can do WordPress but
   to save time should I use the platform I’m using since long? So considering the
   timeframe I just wanted to know is there anything for my requirement that should
   be avoided or considered. Thats it.
 * Thanks once again and no hard feelings guys, in my first post I said
 * > My apologies for comparing Drupal and WordPress on this Forum, I hope this 
   > is not offensive. I know that this product (WordPress) is the best in its class,
   > its just that I’ve not used it so I’m afraid that will I be able to deliver
   > something on a new platform in the limited time?

 * Dear Whoo you said in your first reply
 * > get off the moneytrain if you cant be an engineer.
 * I posted the same question on the Drupal Forum and this is the way people answer:
   
   [http://drupal.org/node/603120](http://drupal.org/node/603120)
 * Broaden your thinking and knowledge Whoo.

 * Hey! this is not what I expected 🙂 This is not what open source community does,
   discourage. Why so much anger? I asked it because if somebody has worked on both
   the platforms or has some idea that can save my time. Moreover I want to do it
   in WordPress, its just that I’ve limited time for this project. So what is the
   harm in asking?
