how to make it show only one categ in front page

Hello

<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&exclude=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6'); ?>

Change 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to match the category id numbers that you want to exclude.

Hope it helps :)`

i didn’t understood that,

the site i’m builing is for a music band that will use wordpress as a publishing system.

so the main page is the news page and i have a menu with links to diferent categories, for example in the categorie photos, i’ll put photos from their concert so each post will contain diferent photos, so i need to post something that matches the categorie “photos” and it will apear that…

i can use the general category for the news, but in this case i need to find a way to make the system to forward me to the link of that categorie so for example

sitename.com/blog would send me to sitename.org/blog/general

any way to do that?

I gotcha, Another guy was trying to help me out and they were making it to difficult.

Just above the line <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

Add This
<?php query_posts(‘cat=1’); ?>

Now in order to to view your other categories you will need to duplicate that page and rename it to “whatever.php” and change this to
<?php query_posts(‘cat=2’); ?> where 2 == the category of posts you wish to show.

That is about as quick and dirty of a hack as I can think of

but how i make other categories open the right watheaver.php file? like photos.php is for the photos categorie and so on?

category visibility
