How do I show a list of posts with brief descriptions under a category?

  • Hi,

    I’m new to WordPress so bare with me. I’ve created a pile of posts under different categories. I have a sidebar showing a list of
    categories. When I click on a category link I arrive on a page that lists all posts filed under than category…

    My questions is, is there a plugin or widget that will allow me to show all the posts under a category in a simple list (i.e. not showing the full text in all the postings, just a brief description of each?)

    There probably is a plugin…I just can’t seem to trawl it out ??

  • Sukhwant, I’m still learning but I think you can list the post title and excerpt, something like

    <?php query_posts('category_name=cat Name'); ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>  

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" ><?php the_title();?></a>

    <p><?php the_excerpt();?></p>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
