Custom Template with Single Category List

[Brad West]

I'd like to create a page template where the content of the page is displayed and below that a single category archive listing.

I've looked high and low but can't find any tutorial or code that will produce what I'm looking for; any advice?

Wrote about this recently however you could simply use the categories widget or Genesis Featured Posts widget in the after entry widget area.

I can't get that code to work. It says it must run inside the loop so here's how I've added to my template file:

<?php
//* Template Name: Language Learning Archive

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_page_archive_content' );
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_page_archive_content' );

/** Replace the standard loop with our custom loop */
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'custom-archive' );
  
function custom-archive() { 
	
$args = array(
	'category_name' => 'language-learning', 
);
$wpsites_catposts = new WP_Query( $args ); 
 
// Your Custom Loop
    if ( $wpsites_catposts->have_posts() ) {
 
        echo '<div class="list-category"><ul>';
		
	while ( $wpsites_catposts->have_posts() ) {
	
		$wpsites_catposts->the_post();
		
		echo '<li><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark">' . get_the_title() . '</a></li>';
	}
        echo '</ul></div>';
} else {
	  echo '<div class="list-category">No posts found for this query.</div>';
}

wp_reset_postdata();
	
}
     
genesis();

And as for the After Entry Widget, that will add the categories to all pages, no?

Please ask any questions relating to this code in the comments where you got the code.

I was finally able to get it working. For others who might be looking this was my solution:

<?php
//* Template Name: TEMPLATE NAME

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_page_archive_content' );
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_page_archive_content' );

function genesis_page_archive_content() {

	query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'CATEGORY-NAME', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) ); ?>
	
	<ul>
		<div class="custom-archives"><?php
		
		while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
			echo '<li>';
			echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a>';
			echo '</li>';
		endwhile;
		
		?></div>
	</ul>

<?php
	wp_reset_query();
}

genesis();
