    Hello,

    I am totally new and I am trying to build a website using wordpress and I have of course decided to pick the theme Ocean WP.

    I am having issue performing this:

    1. I have created category such as : Food, Tips, Destinations etc …
    2. I would like to create a static page and inside put all my category but not list as bullet point, but in like rectangle then I will add picture.( this part is done)
    3. my issue : I can’t find what is the dynamic url for my category, so that when I click on my image, it brings me to the dynamic page with all my post for this category. ( I found the category ID, but can’t figure out how to use it)

    Could you please help me.

    thanks a lot.

    Hello @alchymyth
    Thanks for your answer.
    I have check your link and implemented as written.

    But it seems that when I integrate PHP code in my page following this step:

    1. Clicking on the 3 dotand clicking the link : Editor -> Code Editor
    2. Paste this code

    <?php
    // Get the ID of a given category
    $category_id = get_cat_ID( 10);  --> 10 is my category ID
 
    // Get the URL of this category
    $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
?>
 
<!-- Print a link to this category -->
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $category_link ); ?>" title="Category Name">Category Name</a>

    When I do that I got an error message :

    This block contains unexpected or invalid content.
    How can I use PHP in my page.
    I am using Xamp.
    thanks

    if this is in a static page and not supposed to be dynamic, you could try to find the corresponding category link urls by looking into the dashboard under ‘posts’ – ‘categories’;

    when you hover over a category name in the list there, you see the ‘View’ link below it; right-click on it to copy the link url – that is your category url

    Thanks for the answer.

    I finaly found how to solve my issue.
    If this can help someone:

    I have created a custom template page and wrote my php code inside.

    @jumpyadventure, I pushed an update yesterday including the fix. Let me know if that fixes the issue.
