Listing posts from a specific category(s) on a page

  • Hi All

    Sorry if I am missing the obvious but I am trying to create a page and then under the page text list posts from a specific category.

    Rather than just have all posts appear as one mass I want to create pages related to the categories and then list the posts in the same format as they would normally appear on the page.

    I cant figure this out, does this require a plugin or is it just not possible.

    I know you get category pages created by default that you can add to the navigation but you dont seem to be able to create any content above them to introduce the category before diving straight into the posts.

    Is either option possible as this is all I need to get my site how I want it and it seems like it would be a fairly obvious and common need for a site.

  • This can certainly be done (see this For Sale page for example). However, it is not as simple as it might seem.

    The basic approach is to create a new template to show the content of the invoking page and then show pages of posts beneath that.

    If you are up to creating your own template, use the ‘Contact Us’ form on the above site and I will send you the template used there for an example.

    If you are not able to do that yourself, you will probably need to hire someone. You can post a job request on jobs.wordpress.net.
