I’m not getting that dropdown. the only dropdown I get is a parenting one (which I have to admit, I don’t understand the parenting paradigm either). I’m using the foghorn 0.3 template. Could this be a limitation?

And then – how do you look you call it up as a template for a page?

I see. Does it live inside the theme folder of my active theme?

I was looking at that. I got to the part about creating a file for a custom template and this is where I don’t understand. How am I creating this file and where is it supposed to live?

But I thought I could only have one them active on a site

I’m not clear on how to use code building my site. My background is a coder and this is the first time I’ve tried using a “cookie cutter” site, so once I get clear on how to do it, I should be fine.

So starting from the beginning, when it says to create a filesuch as “snarfer.php” – where does this file live?

ok, maybe it’s Custom Menu. I guess I’m seeing that exploring the Widgets is what’s going to unlock a lot of things. Thanks for you help…. I’ll probably have more questions soon…. Ky

Ok. I just found the “categories” widget. I’ll play with that for a bit and see if that’s what I’m talking about.

You can see what I’ve got built at https://kyhote.com/kffhistory
Their are 3 links above the main part of the page:
Welcome, Year by Year History and Kerr-Weddings
“Welcome” is the front page and that’s good.
Right now “Year by Year History” is the post page.

What I would like is to have these headings refer to each category of posts. Year by Year History is one category and Kerr-Weddings is one category and I would probably have at least a half dozen others.

If there needs to be one “post page” where all the categories collect, that’s fine also.

Does this make more sense? Do I need to look for another theme?

thanks, Ky

Is there a way to make headings at the top of the main page for each category?
