  • I’m also trying to find a way to link directly to the first post of a category but so far the best method I’ve found is to use get_permalink.

    Unfortunately this means you have to link directly to that first post within the template. If you want to see it in action, you can take a look at a comic theme that I’m working on here:

    I’m also using Kaf’s Post templates by category which you can access from his website https://szub.net/ which allows you to generate a single page theme for a specific category.

    This is how the comic navigation looks like:

    <p> <div class="comicnav">
    <table border="0" width="100%"><tr><td align="left">
    <div class="alignleft">
    <!– THIS LINKS TO THE VERY FIRST POST FROM THE CATEGORY –>
    < a href=” < ? php echo get_permalink(9); ? > “>&laquo First< / a>
    <!– THIS IS THE PREVIOUS LINK –>
    <?php previous_post_link($format=’&laquo %link’, $link=’%title’, $in_same_cat = true); ?> </p>
    <p> </div></td>
    <td align="right"><div class="alignright">
    <!– THIS IS THE NEXT LINK –>
    <?php next_post_link($format=’%link &raquo;’, $link=’%title’, $in_same_cat = true); ?>
    <!– THIS LINKS TO THE MAIN PAGE –>
    < a href = ” < ? php echo get_settings( ‘home’ ); ? > “>Latest »</ a>

    I’m also currently using wordpress 2.1.
