How Do I Edit The Category Page

edit your single.php file

thanks!

also if you go to my site wegotthiscovered.com you’ll notice if you click on a post it only shows the title, not the category or tags, how do I get it to show the category/tags?

Thanks

oh btw that didn’t work, single.php is for posts, not the categories page

if your theme does not have a category.php, make a copy of archive.php (if archive.php exists, otherwise from index.php) and save it as category.php – then edit it.

to show categories in single posts, you can use:
<?php the_category(', ') ?>

and for tags:
<?php the_tags( '<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>

in single.php

ok thanks

also how do I get my site to show the “read more” button on the category pg and the search result pg

I think you can look in the default theme provided by wordpress and copy-paste code from there =)

i cant figure out where those tag and category codes go, can someone help me, I’ll email you my files if you like

let me know

thanks

anyone?

Well I looked in the default WP3 theme and this is the code you can use. In the single.php , use this code to show the category and tags wherever you like :

<?php mytheme_posted_in(); ?>

For the above to work, add this in your functions.php file :

if ( ! function_exists( 'mytheme_posted_in' ) ) :

function mytheme_posted_in() {
	// Retrieves tag list of current post, separated by commas.
	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
	if ( $tag_list ) {
		$posted_in = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'mytheme' );
	} elseif ( is_object_in_taxonomy( get_post_type(), 'category' ) ) {
		$posted_in = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'mytheme' );
	} else {
		$posted_in = __( 'Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'mytheme' );
	}
	// Prints the string, replacing the placeholders.
	printf(
		$posted_in,
		get_the_category_list( ', ' ),
		$tag_list,
		get_permalink(),
		the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' )
	);
}
endif;

For the excerpt for search and archives, use <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
