Link a category to a page

[rachael.s]

I’ll be starting a “project” on my blog and I’d like it to have its own page so it’s accessible.

Is there a way to link a category to a page, so that I can introduce my project (on the page) and every blog post I make in this category shows up together? Hope this makes sense.

Or, is there a way to highlight categories with their own menu bar?

I’m new at this!

:o)

Thanks,

Rachael

Never mind. I figured it out. I made a custom menu and added the category for that particular blog project. Yay!

Hi again.

Actually, I’d STILL like to link my category to a page if it’s possible; I’d like a main page to explain the project with a link to the blog category.

Thanks AGAIN!

so you want to display posts from a certain category inside a page?

[rachael.s]

Yes. Thank you.

why dont you add the category link to your menu?

[rachael.s]

I did. It works well. Looks good. It shows up looking a lot like a page. I’d just like a way to introduce and explain the project. I’d like the summary to be above all the posts from the category.

Thanks.

Love the theme, by the way. Well done.

do you want to display a category description?

[rachael.s]

Yes! I’d like it to show up when someone goes to the category from my custom menu. I’d need the description to be at least a page long, though, so I thought if I could link the category to the page it would be perfect.

Go to Appearance> Editor and select “category.php” and add these lines:

<h2><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h2>

<p><?php echo category_description(); ?></p>

After this line:

<?php get_header(); ?>

Thanks. I did that. Now what? Should the category description show up automatically when a categorized post is selected? Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks.

you will need to add category descriptions from

Posts> Categories

then, when you click the category page you will see it.
