Theme Category Page

  • Hello,
    I’m trying to code a page to display a author’s bio and picture, and then I just need to display certain categories, for example categories 50, 51, 52, 53 with their full post, post category, and date posted. I’ve not had much luck. So far I have this: 

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */
/*
Template Name: Name of Author Page
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

	<div id="contentleft">

	<h1>Author Name</h1>
			{WILL DISPLAY PICTURE AND QUICK BIO HERE}<br /><br />

		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<?php endwhile; else: ?>

		<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>

	</div>

	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>

	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<!-- The main column ends  -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    TIA for any help!

  • Instead of this:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>

    Try this:

    <?php query_posts('cat=2,6,17,38'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

    Replacing the numbers with your category IDs

    no content will show up on the page, and i’ve triple checked the code and category id’s… any ideas?

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */
/*
Template Name: Name of Author Page
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

	<div id="contentleft">

	<h1>Author Name</h1>
			{WILL DISPLAY PICTURE AND QUICK BIO HERE}<br /><br />

		<?php query_posts('cat=41'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
	</div>

	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>

	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<!-- The main column ends  -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>
