List blog titles on one page with hyperlink

[Belinda]

I have categories setup on my site and I want users to be able to click on links from my SecondaryMenu which will take them through to a page for each individual category where they can see a bulletted list of each blog title which they can then click as a hyperlink to view the actual blog content.

How can i do this??

Create Custom Category Archive Page Template In Genesis

Thanks Kellylise
I wasn't sure on the terminology to use. I can find alot of archive list options but so far haven't found exactly what I'm after with installation that I'm familiar with. A WP newbie here. 🙂

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply Brad. I think I'll leave this for the moment as it all looks a bit over my capabilities at present.

Its very easy, all you need to do is create a new file named archive.php, add the code from the view raw link in the Gist and upload it to your child themes folder.

Otherwise, you could CSS to hide everything.

I'm trying to do the same thing. I have two category pages on my secondary menu, and I would like them to be lists of links to the posts in their respective categories. I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the Genesis Framework with the Lifestyle Pro child theme.

I am fairly comfortable with html and css, but I am still leery of hosing my site by messing with the php coding. Is there any way to accomplish what I want with css? Brad, you mention hiding everything with css, but I'm not sure what you mean.

Here's a link to one of the category pages on my site: Expressions

Thanks!

This comment refers to the previous two posts--Brad's and mine.

Brad, I'm looking at your archive.php code, and it seems it applies to the entire site, including the home page, other pages, and perhaps the footer.

I would like to limit the change to two category pages only, and I need the listings on those category pages to be links to each post. Can you suggest the adjustments that I would have to make to your archive.php file in order to accomplish that?

Simply change the name of the file using the WordPress Template Hierarchy.

You can also duplicate the file or use template_include to use the template conditionally.

Brad, thanks for the advice and the link. I'm looking at the hierarchy now, and although it appears complicated, I know I need to study it. I'm still unable to use the information you've provided, but I'll read for a couple of days and come back here with another comment/question. Thanks again.

Brad, I just added your file under the name "category.php" to my Lifestyle Pro child theme, and now one post title appears as a link at the top of each category page. So far, so good! 🙂

Only one title appears in each category, though, and I would like for all of the post tiles in the categories to be listed as links on the category pages. I would like a long listing of links to appear on the category pages that I can style with css. Can you give me some direction as to how to force the other posts onto the category pages?

Here's what a category page looks like now: Grammar

Thanks!

A little bit of work is required on your behalf.

Use pre_get_posts to control archive page limit

Or your Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archive settings which you should check first.

I've already looked at the Genesis Theme Settings, and I don't see anything that applies to the category pages alone. Tomorrow I'll take a closer look at the pre-get-posts information you've provided, but a cursory look tells me that it's far above my coding level at this point. My html and css skills are improving, but php is a new area for me. I'll do some homework and return with further questions. Thank you for your help.

O.k. Please mark this as resolved.

Is there an administrator who marks the threads as resolved? Or is there something I need to do to do so?
