    Hello:

    I’m new to WordPress and I need to create a page of links from posts and I am not sure how to approach this. Here is what I am looking to do:

    1. In my nav I have 4 days that link to that days page (S-M-T-W);
    2. When a user clicks on one of the days (eg. Sunday) they go to a page of just titles from posts that are related to Sunday;
    3. When you click on the title it takes you to the full post page.

    Let me know if this is not clear. Any direction or guidance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • If your navigation bar shows Pages, here is a possible solution.

    • Copy the code below to your theme’s folder as postsforsunday.php.
    • Create a Page titled ‘Sunday’
    • Assign the template postsforsunday.
    • Assign the category ‘Sunday’ to all posts to show up on this page.
    • Do similar steps for other days, changing the template name and category.
    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */
/*
Template Name: postsforsunday
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">

<?php
foreach (array('Sunday') as $catname) {
   $catid = get_cat_id($catname);
   $myquery = new WP_Query("cat=$catid");
   if ($myquery->have_posts()) :
      echo "<h2>Posts for Category $catname</h2>";
      while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post(); ?>
         <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a></p>
      <?php endwhile;
   endif;
}

?>
</div><!-- End content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
