how to make a post the first in its category?

  • Hey I’m trying to modify the the category page and want to do such operation:
    When I navigate between the categories I want that the first post shown in the category will be a specific one.

    When I did that for the index page I created a category that has only one post and when I load the index page I got that post from that category first and only after that the main posts loop.

    How can I do that for the other categories?

    I you have other examples on how to do that , I’ll be happy to hear about that!

  • I think I have done what you are trying to do. On my BluegrassMiataClub.com site, I have category pages for Good Stuff->Good Roads, for example. Here is what I did:

    • Created a template that checks a custom field for category-to-show.
    • Created a page for the category using the custom field.
    • Made the post I wanted first ‘sticky’.

    If you will use the About->Contact Us form on the site to email me (Mac McDonald), I will be happy to send you the code to use as a sample.
