Only show posts from one Category on main page

  • I have several categories, but only would like posts from One categroy show up on the main site. The rest, the visitors must click on the category to view any posts within.

    how do i change that? (and can this feature be added to any updated version of WP ?)

  • Note the hide_empty parameter. The default is 1, so passing a hide_empty=0 should show empty categories.

    wyziwig if you register for the forum you should be able to edit your post.

    My favourite show-only-on-the-front-page plugin is Richard Goodwin’s excellent ShowOnFrontPage

    https://www.richardgoodwin.com/wp/2005/01/08/new-plugin-showonfrontpage/

    It does exactly what it says in the php file. I quote:

    This plugin is designed to allow users to prevent selected posts from showing on their WordPress front page. The reasons for doing this are varied, but enough people were asking about it, and I wanted to write a plugin bad enough, that I figured it was worth doing. This is my first, so please don’t shoot me if it doesn’t bring you riches or happiness ??

    While you are writing your blog post, in the Advanced section there will now be a checkbox that controls whether the article appears on the frontpage or not.

    ps Just re-read the first post in this thread and I realised that my post here doesn’t really address the need for only one category to appear on the frontpage … but nevertheless, this is a good plugin anyhow! Good if you only want certain posts (from any category) to appear on the frontpage … I’ll get my coat!

    You can try the plugin of Keith McDuffe. It lets you choose which categories will appear in the frontpage. Other cool features are also available like an option to hide the category from search results, rss feeds, category list…
    You can combine it with Richard Goodwin’s ShowFrontPage plugin.

    Use the Front Page Categories plug in

    I was using this for a while, but then someone told me that my RSS feeds were not aggegating properly. Once i deactivated this plug in, my feeds aggregated just fine again.

    Is there a ‘show on front page’ plug in that will not screw up the feeds?

    I’m getting the same error in the admin section as wizywyg.

    ive successfully set up the cats plug in but im getting a horrible ton of lines in the wordpress control panel reading:

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THIS? THANKS.

    Yes we all do, perform a search of the forum on the warning.

    This plugin worked beautifully for the purpose of displaying only one category of my choice on the front page.
