[Theme: WPEX Bizz] Setting a page template for a category

  • I need some assistance, after tons of reading about templates, themes, and categories for wordpress documentation – I’m still confused. I am trying to get a ‘staff-category’ page to display like the ‘staff’ page does. I’ve added a template page for it as staff-category.php (copy of staff.php), what else do I need to do to make this work?

    At the moment the ‘staff-category’ page is displaying as the archives would (I’m guessing by default at not finding a template for it).

    Here’s the reasoning: I have a softball team that I need to make a roster page for each of the levels, so I want to be able to pull a category link to create the pages I need (which will be the team level) and display just those players. I’ve looked at roster plugins and non will do what I need. If I could just make this happen I would be set.

    Examples:
    A) I need this: https://phxheatfastpitch.com/new/staff-category/18u-dorado/
    B) to display like this: https://phxheatfastpitch.com/new/staff/
    Both of these girls are in separate categories.

  • Hi Tiffani,

    I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve but I can outline how to link to a page with content grouped by tags. This also works with Categories if thats better for you.

    1. First – Add tags to each of the girls you want to group together ie Team 1
    2. Then once you have added the tags, view one of the posts in your browser and find the Tags section, and click on that tag
    3. This should open up a page that shows all content with the same tag, copy the url from the address bar
    4. Now go to your menu and create a custom link, paste that address into the link

    Hope this helps. Cheers
