displaying category on page

  • I’ve been reading and thus far I haven’t come across the answer I’m hoping for so if I’m missing this obvious answer some where around here I apologize in advance.

    I just installed wordpress on my domain. After I installed it I started giving some thought to how I wanted to layout things. One issue that seems to have me stumped at this point is that I want to feature one category on a secondary page. Now I know I could just create a link to that category and the page will be generated by the theme. Which would be all fine and dandy if I didn’t want to insert some info just under the navigation bar that may or may not change until I no longer want to feature that category.

    So any suggestions on what is the best way to handle this?

    BTW I’ll still be searching the forums until someone either answers this or I find it.

    Bump since I’m not on the first page

    A couple of options:

    Make a copy of your theme’s category.php (or archive.php if you don’t have a category.php) and name it category-44.php (change 44 to the category ID number of your category). Add your code to category-44.php.

    Another option is to use the is_category(’44’) conditional tag on category.php or archive.php to only display this code for your chosen category.

    I posted a reply here on why this question is commonly misconceived.
