use categories as featured pages

Here‘s a workaround.

Hi,

Thanks a lot Electric Feet, but is there a way to do it without a plugin??, the thing is to set a categorie link instead of a post or page, I think it would be easier than we think

Best Regards

You can create pages to display posts of one category and then display that page.

<?php
/*
Template Name: AnyCategory /*Give it the category name */
*/

get_header();

do_action( ‘__fp_block’ );

do_action( ‘__breadcrumb’ );
?>
<div class=”container” role=”main”>

<div class=”row”>

<?php query_posts(‘cat=3’); ?> /*Put the Category ID here */

<?php
do_action( ‘__sidebar’ , ‘left’ );

do_action( ‘__loop’ );

do_action( ‘__sidebar’ , ‘right’ );
?>

</div><!–#row –>

</div><!– #container –>
<?php

get_footer();
?>

Hi

Thanks for your help. but you mean create pages in php, not in the WP structure, and the theme just len me select internal pages, isn’t it?.

Best Regards

I explain why this is difficult here. A plugin is a good workaround.

Thanks for your answer, the thing is I have too much plugins right now, and I don’t know if one more could work fine. I’ll give it a try.

Deetech,

I’m curious about your suggestion.
Once I make that page template how do I get it to show up as one of my featured pages choices?
Is it as simple as making a blank page with that as the template?

Thanks in advance,
