trying to create a list of posts when clicking upon a category

  • Hello,

    I wish to create a list of my posts when people click on a certain category. For example, on my site (my site is here) when you you hover of the campsite menu item a drop down occurs. Each of the drop down items are categories.

    If you click on “swanage” you’ll see that it does list the posts within the category but I wish to give this a tidier appearance. The end result I would like to achieve is to have the title and short experpt from each post with a link saying something like “find out more”.

    I would also like to remove the information below each post that says “This entry was posted in Swanage and……”

    Any advice on this would be much appreaciated,
    Thanks

  • Hello!

    It looks like you should make a child theme, copy the category.php theme to the child theme’s directory and edit that file, but it requires some php knowledge. Basically this file generates every category-based listing site in the twentytwelve theme.

    You can find a detailed description on how to create a child theme here:

    Hi Balint,

    thanks for your response, I have created a child for the category.php.

    Do you know the php required to give the desired results?

    many thanks

    Well, I will give up with something, give me some time…

    I have checked my WordPress installation’s twentytwelve files, and from what I can see from how your site currently displays those items, it suggests that there were some modifications made to the theme file, so it is really hard to give appropriate solution without the actual code. I have sent you a message from your site’s contact page.
