WP Nerds Required - Is it possible to...

Hey Guys,

This one goes out to the WP nerds in the house...

Is it possible to create a static home page for a single category.

So when you click through to that category page, you see a "sticky" post, or post that always appears as the first of the posts in that category.

Must be a plugin for it right?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,
Andrew

    Andrew,

    You were close when you said "sticky".

    The WP Sticky plugin can do this. Just select the category you want.

    WP 2.7 has a sticky function when you create a post, under Visibility.

    Google "query post" on the WordPress codex and you can change the category template by naming your custom category to "category-ID.php", just replace the "ID" with the category ID.

    Of course, you will need to put the "query post" code into the category-ID.php to have it displays only one post...

    Anyway, this is kinda technical... but if you read the codex you or your tech guy can easily figure it out .

      Aaron,

      You're a legend mate. I thought this post was going to disappear off the front page unanswered.

      Just what I needed - I'll go DL now
