In reply to: Two Archives each calling different category posts? :/I you use categories for “News&Events” and “Fixture7Results” then the WordPress native archiving ability will display the posts from each category ‘automatically’.
Don’t be confused by what an archive is–it is just a generated display of your posts at that moment. You don’t do anything to create the archive, that’s an automatic thing WordPress does for you. Usually, archives are date, category, tag, or author, based.
Access to archives is typically presented via links in a sidebar under an Archive (date based), Category, or Tag Cloud, heading. Widgets, or Template Tags such as wp_get_archives(), wp_list_categories(), wp_tag_cloud(), and wp_list_authors(), are the constructs used to present links to users to visit your various archives. The process of placing code in your Theme’s Templates is explained in Stepping Into Templates and Stepping Into Template Tags.
Once a user clicks on a Category link in the sidebar, the display of those posts can be controlled by a Category Template. Other Templates, such as Author Templates, and Tag Templates, are available if you set them up. These Templates can be coded via Template Tags such as the_title(), the_content(), or the_excerpt(), to display just a post title, the full content of the post, or just an excerpt of the post.
Also, it is important to understand the Template Hierarchy, as that is how WordPress determines what Template to use to render the posts for reading by your readers.
If a user visits a Category archive, then clicks on a given post title in that Category archive, the display of that single post is again presented by another Template, and again, the Template Hierarchy determines what Template displays that single post. Finally, that single post Template can be coded to display just the title, the full post content, or an excerpt.

In reply to: custom contact pageWell Contact Form 7 and other contact form plugins are used by many WordPress sites so not too sure what your problem was but it might be worth looking at some more plugins rather than reinvent the wheel.

In reply to: assigning posts to pages?Not sure. But so you know with Category Templates there really is no need for you to create Pages.

In reply to: Most Popular in one categoryAssuming by popular you mean the post with the most comments then this should get the post with the highest comment count for a given category
<?php $cat_id = get_cat_ID('your-category-here'); $args=array( 'cat' => $cat_id, 'orderby' => 'comment_count', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'caller_get_posts'=> 1 ); $my_query = null; $my_query = new WP_Query($args); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p> <?php endwhile; } wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>Forum: Hacks
