Awesome all! Thanks!

So in conclusion, I can create a site that is category driven. The home page is a dashboard where a person can see the latest post from the main category (01), then in the navigation I can link to each category and those pages are seperate category looking pages. I can also have a calendar on the site to link to date specific for archival purposes, also I can have small excerpts be included within the navigation so a person can see if a seciton has been updated based on what I write in the excerpt. Cool!

Only problem I am experiencing is that I have to use mucho plugins to make the home page respond in the way I want it. There are some concerns with the fact that I can not get comments to display inline on an “Archive” or “category-02.php” page like I can on the “single.php” page. Why is this? Thanks a ton!

Oh my site is here temp so you can see what I am trying to do:

https://www.danmerk.com/wordpress

So then how can I display some text from the most recent post of each category?

Huh? I am sorry I do not understand.

Yeah I can see the contents of the .htaccess file. So it is ‘working’, but I can not allow for the proper permalink function. I am not sure I did something correctly. I have this:

/%category%

Does not work. But if I add the /index.php/ it does. Again, the .htacess has 666 and is visable in my wp-admin.

Also, how can I allow my links to my posts still be to single posts, but my permalinks are set for categories. Am I backwards in my thinking?

Ok, I see in Apache that it is installed and my .htaccess file has data in it so it is not that. All I want to do is have my links look clean and use categories for archiving.

i.e. https://www.danmerk.com/wordpress/photography

and not https://www.danmerk.com/wordpress/?cat=4

I am still getting Files not found. hmm.

Thanks! I am actually working on a local environment, so I can set it up. Can someone tell me how to do that? Is this available within my httpd.conf file?
