LIST POST TITLES ONLY on Category Pages - HELP!!
I want to list POST TITLES ONLY without excerpts on the Category Pages.
There is no archives.php for editing in the theme, and I have tried a couple of plugins and hacks but they require editing of the archives.php file, which is not in the theme folder. Is there anyway to accomplish listing titles only? Using Atahualpa 3.5.3 with WP 3.1 Thanks |
Check out the List Category Posts plugin.

You just add shortcodes to a page or post. I'm not sure where you saw the note about adding to the default.php. To show a list of posts from a particular category you would use the code below in a page or post. You can add other parameters to the shortcode to order in a particular, show excerpts or full posts if you want, exclude categories, and on and on (See the Other Notes tab on the page I gave you a link to. Here a link to a page I use this plugin for listing all the titles of the posts in a particular category.
HTML Code:
[catlist id=99] |
I took a quick look and it appears the default.php is in reference to creating templates for the plugin. I have never found that necessary.

Okay, but here is where I am lost, I want to add these to the Category Archive Pages. So I have set up the Category Menus in Ataluhpa in the header, when I click on a category there I am getting post listings for that category but they are including excerpts, comments counts, tags etc, same as the home page, BUT, all I want them to show is just a hyperlink list of the Posts under that category. So when you say "add shortcodes to a page or post" how does that work for adding it to the category archives? This theme has no archives.php file to edit, so I am not sure how to add the short code from this plugin or any other for that matter to display in category archive pages...make sense? |
the link you gave me is the EXACTLY the way I want to list all posts in the Category archive pages
|
And here is the exact code I use for that after installing the List Category Posts plugn.
HTML Code:
[catlist id=8 numberposts=-1 orderby=title order=asc] |

I guess the ultimate question is where in the theme can you edit the category archive pages?
|
As I suggested in the other post, put an if around the bfa_post_bodycopy in 'The LOOP'

Why not just create a page and use the plugin?

I really don't understand what you want. In one post you said the page I showed you was exactly what you wanted. So...

If you click on any of my categories you will see the excerpts and bylines and I want to eliminate those, I would like the display to be like on this page: http://www.dailyblogtips.com/category/social-media/, where their category pages only show post titles and not excerpts. They achieved that by editing archives.php which this theme does not have, so I need to figure out how to have this theme output post titles only on Category Pages. Make sense? |
I guess I was thinking you could create pages for all the categories and make your own "custom" category pages.

I am out of ideas, tried a bunch of php codes, but none work, sent an email to the developer, maybe he will reply with a fix. My site has so much traffic and the categories have a lot of posts and they way they display now is not user-friendly at all. But thank you so much for trying. I might actually use your fix to display categories in my sidebar instead of the plugin I use now, and maybe eliminate that header all together if he does not respond. |
What do you mean the pages will not auto display in the header? Are you saying that when you create a new category they will not display without creating a new page? While it is true you would need to create a new page anytime you created a category you would not have to do anything each time you post. For instance if you created a "Search Engine Optimization" category page and used the plugin I mentioned to populate it all new posts would automatically be there.
I would really like to understand what you are trying to do if the above is not accurate. |
try this, at ato->Style & edit CENTER COLUMN->The LOOP change it to this (note this will work as long as you haven't previously changed 'The LOOP'
HTML Code:
<?php /* For SINGLE post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */ |
