Wordpress Category Pages

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!

Frank

    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.

        Or create a new template file, use the above code in the template, and set your page to use that template!
