tks for the help… A child theme…uggg work..and reading..then the source code… ok I am a newbie and learning very slowing about code and reluctant to play in there…but ok it looks like child theme and figuring out the archive pages…Gee it it not be plug and play i like that better!

PS
is there a plugin for that?

hi there….
sorry have been busy and not checking reply to my post…i do not understand how conditional tags will allow for me to put a different background image on the archive pages for the different categories..but i will look into and install it and see what happens….

TKS

Wow that is great…….i will do that this morning…as to the the child theme i should do it. i always write down any of the changes i make in a book. i have site backed up and a list of all the plugins i need…i am getting to the child theme…tks for all your help
and that worked great…i was looking in all the wrong places before

ok well here is the category.php…listen i am really noob when it comes to code

<h1 class=”page-title”><?php
printf( __( ‘Category Archives: %s’, ‘slidingdoor’ ), ‘<span>’ . single_cat_title( ”, false ) . ‘</span>’ );
?></h1>
<?php
$category_description = category_description();
if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )
echo ‘<div class=”archive-meta”>’ . $category_description . ‘</div>’;

/* Run the loop for the category page to output the posts.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-category.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘category’ );
?>

</div><!– #content –>
</div><!– #container –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

tks i will back on later
