HYP

Hey, hoping this topic can be re-awaken because I’m trying to do the same things and read, re-read the above instructions as well as the codex and can’t get a satisfactory solution.

My testing site is here: https://freshtape.com

I copied the home.php file to my theme template and added this line

<?php query_posts(‘cat=3’); ?>

so that the front page only displays category of “Show”

What I’m stuck is 2 things: 1) I don’t know how I can have my other posts show up on another page, ie.. a page with just updates over at https://freshtape.com/blog/

I’ve tried Settings>Reading> and set the front page as a Static Page and blog posts to the /blog/ page but it’s the same as the front page (with only one category of posts).

2) the second problem I’m running into with doing this parameter is that the “Previous posts” links is normally supposed to go Page 2, Page 3 etc. with previous posts but it only shows the most recent post of that category (in Settings>Reading> I set Blog pages show at most 1 post)

Basically I’m trying to get front page when people land on https://freshtape.com to only show 1 post and that is of category “Show”. All other blog posts I wish to put in https://freshtape.com/blog/

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Kaf, yup that did it! And thanks for the explanation as well, since it’ll surely help out for future things/problems I run into and know about these rules.

Hah, I should totally just start over with a new theme to avoid head scratches with Regulus.

I’m leaning towards pronouncing your name as ‘caffeine’ because I’m sure being a mod isn’t easy! ??

Very cool Kafka, that works for me, thanks!

As for the RE: Tags part, I assigned the class like so:

"<div id=tags>";
the_tags('<br />stored in: ', ', ', '<br /><br />');
"</div>";

and in the CSS I put in this:

#tags {
color:#fff;
font-style:italic;
}

I thought that would take care of things, but I’m doing something bad in the assigning part. And the “quotes” part is weird in that, without it, wordpress says there’s a problem (I’m using another div class near the end of the index.php as a reference for doing this Tag id, that’s why)

(And hah @regulus theme… It’s bad huh? I had no idea, it’s my first blog and that was just the first one I picked)

Hurrah! It worked again! JoyceD thank you so much! Very helpful and appreciated
