Display Wordpress Archives one category at a time?

I am almost done with my humble attempt at a custom CMS using Wordpress. The only difficulty I have is making a page display the archive for only one category (and it's children). Anyone has an idea? Thanks a lot! Regis

Solution

  • You can create your own custom archive page using the class WP_Query. Specifically, something like:

    <?php $query = new WP_Query('category_name=code'); ?>  
<?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- display the category here --> 
<?php endwhile; ?>

    You can look at the default theme's archive.php to get a feel for what else is needed to display a particular category in a layout you are familiar with.
