“How To” Present Single Category on Separate Page?

  • At https://codex.www.ads-software.com/The_Loop#Exclude_Posts_From_Some_Category,
    there are instructions on how to EXCLUDE a category from display on the main page.

    But what I’d like to know is the COROLLARY to this: How to display that single category exclusively on a DIFFERENT page.

    For instance: Suppose I have five categories, that we’ll call #1-#5. Suppose further, that I want to EXCLUDE #3 from the main blog page. That’s apparently covered in the Codex entry noted.

    But suppose, still further, that I then WANT to display #3 on a DIFFERENT page altogether.

    How would I do that?

  • Well, I may be frustrating you guys with my throughly noobish questions, please bear with me. You see, I basically got the idea from seeing that when I use a plugin like lazyest gallery, I have to create a page called Gallery and save it with some little snippet of code within the page. But to run the code it is necessary that I have phpexec plugin. That makes the ‘Gallery’ page appear on top of my header.
    Now with that in mind I thought I want pages for, say, catergory 1 , category 2 etc, which will display sutff which are in the respective category. That said, I got around using ‘Faking It’ by Chris , which basically is a tutorial to make you wordpress a CMS. But the damn problem is that it works only for 1.2, and not for 2.04. I’m wondering if theres a tutorial like this : https://www.chrisjdavis.org/2004/07/15/faking-it-wordpress-as-cms/1/

    There is nothing wrong about being a noob… we all started as a new user at some point ??
    However, it is considered a great sin, if without a thorough understanding of how WP works, you want to force your preconceptions on WP’s behaviour. That’s the problem: “having ideas” about what should happen – according to you… instead of reading and trying to get around with the built-in solution offered and linked for you.
    (At the time of 1.2 there was no theme system, there were no templates in the theme folder, there wasn’t even a theme folder – that’s a totally different animal… so why the heck are you looking at everything else except the solution offered?)

    Another common mistake: You “think” you figured out that to achieve goal XYZ – you need a category displayed on a Page. (which is usually a nonsense) It would be much more productive if you describe the desired end result and a knowledgeable helper would give you the solution in a few minutes. Describe your goal, tell us what you want to achieve – and somebody will explain to you how to make it work.
