Author Tags **the_author** Displays or returns the name of the author for a post. This tag must be used within The Loop. Parameters: _idmode, display_. * **the_author_description** Displays the content of the Profile: field in a user’s profile for the author of a post. The Profile is a block of text often used to describe the user, and can be quite large. This tag must be used within The Loop. Parameters: none. * …..etc…. * Category Tags **the_category** Displays a link to the category or categories a post belongs to. This tag must be used within The Loop. Parameters: _separator, parents_. * **the_category_rss** Displays the name of the category or categories a post belongs to in RSS format. This tag must be used within The Loop. Parameters: _type_. * **single_cat_title** ….and so on…. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [listing titles in category archive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/listing-titles-in-category-archive/) * Thread Starter [sonsi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sonsi/) * (@sonsi) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/listing-titles-in-category-archive/#post-163511) * thank you both for your quick replies! yes, i forgot to mention that i am using 1.5 and themes. * kafkesqui, i really appreciate the ever-so-simple breakdown. i’ve gotten the listings i want! i’m still tweaking it a little here and there to get it to look exactly how i’d like, but at least i understand it all now. * pericat, thank you for the reference. i had read that page but couldn’t move past the fact that i needed category.php. this will help when i modify my other archive pages.
