It would be even better if I could have the small article version in 2 columns.</p> <p>Also, instead of having the page run on forever, is it possible for it to go on to the next page after a certain number of posts?</p> <p>Thank you so much! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2317 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:24:38 +0000 James Morrison 2317@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>The plugin is the easiest way to do this, but if you wanted to get down and dirty with PHP, this code would get you started:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;ENTER-YOUR-QUERY-STRING&quot;); while ($additional_loop-&gt;have_posts()) : $additional_loop-&gt;the_post(); the_excerpt(); endwhile; ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>You need to replace ENTER-YOUR-QUERY-STRING with the posts you want to display - see the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query">Codex</a> for more details. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2215 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 14:34:30 +0000 hubbabubba 2215@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I was looking at that myself, but it seems quite complicated. Meanwhile, I'm sure it isn't :) , but I'm not too experienced with this.</p> <p>All I really need is to have something like the Newscast Sidebar News Widget where I can specify which category(ies) to include, but just for the page format.</p> <p>So if there is a specific code that I could use that I just enter on the page that I want (after my other page content), that would be perfect.</p> <p>Can you please help me with that?</p> <p>Thanks so much! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2189 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 11:53:55 +0000 James Morrison 2189@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> I would suggest a plugin for this, <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/">Yet Another Related Posts Plugin</a> springs to mind. </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> James </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2146 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:17:14 +0000 hubbabubba 2146@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Just looking at it again, what I am hoping to do is not just a list - it would actually display something like 3 summaries of the recent posts in a category and then the smaller posts. It would be the same thing as it is now on the newscast theme: click on a category like "CARS", and you'll get an archive with several summaries followed by the smaller posts. I just want to have a page like that but be able to add extra content (images, video, other text, etc.) before the posts appear.</p> <p>Any suggestions there? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2145 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:11:31 +0000 hubbabubba 2145@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Thank you fwhamm for your suggestion!</p> <p>If there is no "official" workaround with the theme, then I think this may be the best way to go. I'll definitely check it out.</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2079 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 08:03:09 +0000 fwhamm 2079@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Maybe this WP plugin is the solution for you: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/</a></p> <p>I installed it cause I want to display a list of recent posts within a page. I tested it with the Avisio theme and will implement it this weekend. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-pages-that-include-posts-of-specific-categories-or-tags#post-2057 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:53:38 +0000 hubbabubba 2057@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Thanks for all your help so far, I really appreciate it!</p> <p>On my site, I want to create a page (for example, "CARS") - how can I make the page so that several of the posts in the specific category or tag "CARS" show up on the page? It works perfectly fine to just click on the category and I will get the posts, but I want to be able to have some other content (such as images, etc.) on that page. </p> <p>Thanks again! </p>
