Display Categories Individually

  • I’m looking for a way to Display Categories Individually. I’d like to put these individual headings of different Categories in different locations on the blog, with their titled entries beneath. Kind of laid out like a newsletter with headings like “Sports” “Health” “Movies” on different spots on the same page. Do-able? Thanks!

  • Check out one of my custom category pages and see if that is similar to the results you want. It includes a list on the right of the subcategories of that section, including the parent, content that is unique to that particular category, a custom list of random posts from within that category, and then the generated excerpts of the category posts below.

    Click around the different categories and subcategories and you will see the content change in these lists and text for the majority of my category pages.

    These were created using the following:

    Creating Category Templates
    wp_list_cats() template tag
    Coffee2code’s Customizable Post Listings
    Linking Posts, Pages and Categories – for individual links to categories when necessary.

    It helps to start with the archive.php from the Default Theme as a base reference as the if/else statements for titles is very helpful. I had to edit them to not say archives, but that’s a detail you can get around to easily.

    so much great information! thanks, my brain is gonna get a workout.
    I see I can list my posts by title instead of date too. Just getting started here.
    What a beautiful job you did on cameraontheroad!

    thanks!
