 * Perfect. This has worked. I thank you.
 * One question on the side. Using the widgets for my sidebar has made the gap between
   the end of one widget and the title for the next quite crammed. Where would I
   adjust code or whatever in order to spread them out a little?
 * Thanks.

 * I should point out that I went with the assumption my sidebar wasn’t a list and
   put the following code at the top of my functions page:
 *     ```
       <?php
           register_sidebar(array(
               'before_widget' => '',
               'after_widget' => '',
               'before_title' => '<h2>',
               'after_title' => '</h2>',
           ));
       ?>
       ```
   
 * It again shows the widgets, but when I go to add a new post or something to my
   site I get the following message:
 * > Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output

 * Just to clarify. I currently have the follow to instruct my index page to display
   posts:
 * `<?php the_excerpt(); ?> <a>"> Read more»</a>`
 * Where would I put the code you mention in order for the first post to appear 
   as a non-excerpt and the rest as the excerpt as instructed above?

   at the very top of the page, above the header that I wish to have centered.

 * I think that is generally what I am looking to do.
 * So yes. I have a page say: mysite.com/category/sport but have created a subdomain
   sport.mysite.com which when people type into their browser will take them to 
   the mysite.com/category/sport page. (The actualy URL is longer and thats why 
   I created a simpler subdomain).
 * 1&1 told me to create and upload an index.php file to my site and then my subdomain
   should recognise mysite.com/category/sport when I try to forward it there. As
   of now it doesn’t recognise it and I get the error message because there is no
   index file with the wordpress files (or if there is I don’t know were it is).
 * I’m worried if I create a blank index.php file and upload it to mysite.com when
   I actually visit my site I will get that blank page rather than my WordPress 
   hosted blog page.

 * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/linking-a-subdomain-to-a-page-on-my-wordpress-blog/#post-1698073)
 * Just wondering if anyone maybe has a solution to this? I e-mailed 1&1 who informed
   me that to forward a subdomain to a particular category page on my WordPress 
   hosted site I needed an index.php file on my server to point my main site to 
   as a starting point. Would I be right in thinking that if I did this it would
   then become my home page and not my current homepage through my WordPress theme?
 * If so, is it then impossible to do what I am hoping to do and have category.mysite.
   com forward to the page mysite.com/cat/category?
 * Or has anyone got a solution?
 * Thanks

 * That does not work. According to the FAQ’s
 * **Can this be used to repoint categories to an arbitrary URL?**
    Not at this 
   time. I’m considering it as a future feature.
 * Anyone know how I can go about having my subdomain url link to a category link
   on my site without coming across the problems I explained above?
 * Thanks

 * Thanks. I looked into that but still have a problem:
 * I tried the part that said:

   > depending on which category page the visitor is viewing. Then you would add
   > the “default” text to the main category.php file, and create special category-#.
   > php files (with their own version of the text, as described in the Introduction)
   > for each category that needs special text at the top.
   > **This does however create a lot of files in your theme directory, and can 
   > be avoided using the following code OUTSIDE the loop:**
 * I tried that last part but my theme is a modified version of the basic one and
   does not have a category.php file, instead my categories layout is done at the
   top of the archives.php file. I tried to insert the code given pointing for a
   particular category to display a certain type of text and the rest to display
   the standard text but when I check my site and click on a category I get an error
   message at the top of the page and nothing else.
 * Is it not possible to put this code into the archives file and do I need to create
   a specific category.php file?
 * Hopefully I’ve explained this well enough.
 * Thanks again…
