Specific category posts to static page

    Im using tiny-framework_2.1.1_2015-06-08 with a child theme. I am trying to set up a static page (navigation menu page name Media – ID 4603) to show all posts for a category (media) with the full-width.php page template.

    I copied full-width.php from the parent theme and copied it into the child theme as full-width-media.php.

    I tried it in the root folder of the child theme, made folders called template-parts/ and page-templates/ in the child them folder. For each of those folders I am not seeing it in the Page Attributes to choose on the Media page quick edit.

    I have not gotten this far to test yet. In my page full-width-media.php

    I removed

    // Include the page content template.
				get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'page' );

				// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
				if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
					comments_template( '', true );
				endif;

    and have added this:

    if(is_category('media')){
        get_template_part('content','media');
    }else{
        get_template_part('content','full-width-media.php');
    }

    You are shooting in the dark. First look at how the templates are called in, then it will be clear how to create specific category template, also look at the inc/examples folder.

    Where does the template page file.pho go inside the tiny framework child theme folder to call up in the page templates to be selected on the wordpress page menu ? I also sent you a donation. Thanks

    category.php should be where archive.php is – in the main folder of the theme (in your case – child theme).

    Page templates are for the pages, not for the posts or archives (cats, tags, etc.)

    Yes Im not seeing or able to choose the new page template on Pages add new or Pages Edit a existing page.

    In page attributes – Template drop down I only see Default Template, Front Page Template, Full Width-Page Template, No sidebar, and links

    In the Tiny Framework Parent theme folder you have these inside a folder called page-templates/

    Ive made a copy of full-width.php from the parent theme, renamed it to full-width-media.php and put it into my child theme folder

    Ive tried it in the root of the child theme and I made two folders inside the child theme and tried it in those. page-templates/ and theme-parts/

    When I go to a page to select the full-width-media.php page template It is not in the drop down menu to choose. Ive tried making a new page and editing a existing page I do not see it in the template list to choose.

    Thanks

    You don’t have to create a page to display a category listing, for that you just use category.php, name it the right way, so WP would use it when displaying that particular cat.

    And then you modify that cat. php file to your needs.
