Another “How do I” question. Help is appreciated ^.^

  • Okay. I want to create another page. I want this page to have it’s own separate updates. A new blog page to update one certain subject on it’s own page. I don’t know if this can be done or not. I am newish to wordpress and a dummy to CSS and PHP. Another option that may work as well but I also do not know how to do, is to have a page show only posts I have done with a certain tag or category. For example, a page called “pets” would only show blog posts that were tagged or categorized “Pets.”

    I am running the Twilight Crown theme if that matters

  • You will want to look at using Page Templates for that.

    Also consider a plugin such as List category posts to display related posts:

    Thank you Michael.

    The plug-n you recommended was for a widget only as far as I can tell. I am looking for something that can actually be on the specific page only.

    The page templates is what I need, but I am completely dumb in coding. I do not know where to begin. I tried reading/re-reading the page template link to no avail. It all looks foreign to me T_T.

    If someone could get me started on what to do, and try to word it in easy terms, that would be helpful!

    Not true.

    Install and activate the plugin and in your page content use this shortcode to list posts belonging to category id 8

    [catlist id=8]

    I am trying to get this to work to show the except. I did [catlist id=8 except=yes] and nothing happens. Any ideas?

    netviper: As it was answered on other post, It only works with “excerpt=yes” if the posts have saved excerpts. I’ll try to add automatic generation of the excerpt.

    Regards!
