Viewing Category Groupes Posts

    I’m new to WordPress and ‘inherited’ a WordPress website to maintain. The theme is Twenty Ten. The site has a static homepage and a single ‘blog’ page with a couple of post categories posting to that single blog page. Under settings/reading, the posts page is set to the ‘blog’ page. I need to separate/group the posts by category and modify the menu to access/view the post categories separately. I tried updating the menu to include the categories but then clicking on a category on the menu brings me to a page (marked post archive with the link to the post but not the post itself.

    Sorry that this is probably a very basic issue but your help will be appreciated.

    Hey,

    What you did by creating a menu item that links to the archive page of posts by category is a way to separate posts by category.

    Ie this is doing what you want as far as I can understand your issue.

    The archive page will make a list of all posts with a certain category. So that the archive page does not get too long, it does not show the whole content of each post.

    If you would like to show the whole content of each post on the archive page, you will need to use a plugin or change a template.

    Take a look at:

    I would recommend doing editing archive.php and

    the_excerpt()

    Replace with:

    the_content()

    Hope this helps ??

    Thanks wpfan1000! Since I am using Twenty Ten, I had to modify the “loop.php” file, and replace “the_excerpt()”it with “the_content()” as mentioned in the support post for which you provided a link.

    Works now. Thanks again!!! ??
