    I already have seen quite some pages about displaying posts on a page, but is there also a way to show posts on a page from a specific category without hacking into the templates?
    I am currently setting up a site where on 1 page posts needs to be displayed of a category. It would be even better if it is possible to show only the first bit of content of that post and after clicking on it, to show the whole post.
    Can someone help me out with this?

  • The example page template shown here can pulls posts from one category.

    Thanks, I thought it would be possible without changing the template, but apparently it isn’t. I will look in to this!

    Ordinarily pages use the page.php template from the theme, which renders the output of the page, but there’s no change to that file in this case.

    Page templates are additional files you attach to a page to modify/customise the output, this would be the creation of an additional file, and not modification to an existing one.

    If you’d like some help, don’t be shy.. ??

    It would be even better if it is possible to show only the first bit of content of that post and after clicking on it, to show the whole post.

    Just put a <!– more –> tag where you want the post to stop showing, and only the text before the more tag will show, and the text will end with read more…

    The Title header will be clickable, and the “read more…” will also be a link to the complete post.
