The bain of my existence at this time is Wordpress Category Pages.

Short of creating static Pages and substituting them for the category pages on a blog, I find that category pages only work well with true blogs.

I love using wordpress and have been able to overcome pretty much all the obsticles to using it as a true CMS, but boy, if any of you could point me to information on creating category pages, that would be magnificant.

Thanks!

  • You cant have categories for pages.

    You can kind of do this manually if you wanted. Just create the HTML for a category on your template where you want to display it. Then use the below code to have it display only certain categories by the ID.

    PHP Code:
    <ul>
    <?php
    wp_list_categories    ('orderby=name&include=3,5,9,16'); ?> 
    </ul>
    Here is more documentation on the WP developer site if you needed to customize on how it looks.

    • however, in order to insert the php into your page or post you must install the plugin Exec-PHP and then you must update your profile so that using visual editor is unchecked.
