Wordpress Question

by Mike Hill

I want to create a Page in Wordpress and have that page list other pages with excerpts.

When a person arrives at my blog they see the normal posts of a blog. In the menu tabs at the top there is a page called Reviews.

I want all the reviews to be listed in that section. How do I accomplish this?

If I create each review as a new page how do I get them listed on that one page?

    Isn't it easier to make all your Reviews a category having all the review posts in that category... then, next, exclude those posts from showing up on your main/home/index page (there is a plugin for that). Finally, have a menu item (Page or not) that directs the visitor to the "category archive" of the Reviews.

    The Pages on Pages route you suggested is more complicated

    Look through the wordpress support pages, and find information on "the_preview" There are some "if" switches to display content from certain sections. Maybe create yourself a custom wordpress php page containing the if statements in certain orders.

    Or, you could get an RSS to html parser (wordpress is supposed to have one built in), then use it to display the links from the RSS feeds from certain categories.

    Personally, I have an articles list page that I hand code. Its a page that contains links to my articles - all of them sorted in ABC order. Its very time consuming, but its very organized.

    There was a Warrior on here earlier in the month with a new plugin that would work perfectly in this scenario (http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...-thanks-p.html).

    I started testing the product for a few days until my house went up in flames and I haven't really had a lot of extra time or space to work since I am temporarily "homeless" until the house is repaired.

    The plugin basically allows you to insert posts into any page as full text, excerpts or just links. That way you could just choose the "review" category to list off your reviews.

    Without the plugin (or crazy coding), you can just use the typical category (archive) page as Istvan mentioned.

      Mike, sounds like you should outsource this! May be the easiest way to get it done pronto.

    In one of my WP tutorials (see sig) there is also a solution (= a Page template with a custom Loop to display posts) to solve this.

    If you are OK messing with the code, it should work. The sample template is for the pre-3.0 default (Kubrick) theme but it is commented, so you can take it from there.
