Most excellent. Thank you.

I was making it too tricky.

It worked if I just called the function in the if statement

php if (is_page('36') ) {
wp_list_categories('child_of=3&title_li=');
} elseif ( is_page('42') ) {
wp_list_categories('child_of=4&title_li=');
} elseif ( is_page('44') ) {
wp_list_categories('child_of=5&title_li=');
} else {
wp_list_categories();
}

Bump

Any Advice?

I think I am close. I used the same if statement to set a variable $cat

<?php
// page id 36 will get category ID 3 posts, page 42 will get category 4 posts, page 44 will get category 5 posts
if (is_page('36') ) {
$cat = array(3);
} elseif ( is_page('42') ) {
$cat = array(4);
} elseif ( is_page('44') ) {
$cat = array(5);
} else {
$cat = '';
}

$args = array(
'include' => $cat,
'title_li' =>''
);
?>

and then I call <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>

But I am getting the following error:

Warning: preg_split() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in (path to) wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 696

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you! Worked the first time.

I added the <?php global $more;?> before the loop and added
<?php $more = 0;the_content(__('Read more', 'monochrome')); ?>
since I am using that theme.

I may learn this php thing yet!

Thank you for the response.

I used the index.php file as a starting point for my “podcasts” page template. I copied the pageofposts and pasted the index div’s in place. It pulls correctly!

Thank you!

One issue, The “read more” is not triggering a truncated article and the readmore link.

I copied the entire page and I am guessing
<?php the_content(__('Read more', 'monochrome')); ?>
is the line that should trigger that? The line is exactly the same on index and the now pageofposts template. What am I missing?

What other information might be needed?

I see the <ul> in firebug. Not in the editor on the wordpress admin side though. weird.

I don’t see the
<ul>. I’m working in ff 3.5 on a pc, a mac and I looked at safari on a mac as well. *shrugs*

Anyone else have it render weird?

the code I put in looks like this:

<?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php');
wp_rss('https://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=a63b2ab6f8908c8dc252165d5ac93282&_render=rss', 10); ?>
