Hi all...

What I need to do is to have a particular post at the very top of the category page.
Like usual, when a visitor clicks on any of the categories, a page will load with the title "Archive for XXXX category". I need a particular post (even though it is an old post) to be displayed at the very top, followed by the (newer) rest.

I have tried using the 'Category Page' plug-in. But somehow it doesn't work.

I am hopeless with codes.

I am using WP2.8.6 and Theme version 3.4.4

I have just converted to this theme and at the moment, at the verge of giving up. Just can't figure this one out.

My blog is http://www.my-rainforest-adventures.com/

Would appreciate any help

did you play with making the post a sticky? - the issue will be it will also stick on a blog page though

Yes, that is something I would want to avoid.
Any other suggestions? Ideas?
Please?

how do you plan to identify this 'particular post'? Will there be one for each category or just one for everything?

Hi...what I am hoping to achieve is to have a 'picture' at the very top of a category archive. That picture will done thru a post. Do this while maintaining the rotating header pics.

For example, if people click on the 'Gear and Craft' category, a page will load. This page will have at the very top a post with picture in it. I am hoping to make this picture a collage of some of the gear and crafts covered under the category. Underneath this post (which is the collage of pictures) are the posts.

Any idea?

here is an idea. You could use the page2cat (category pages) plugin.
You have 'Gear and Craft' as a category (assume it's id 41), so you make a second category 'GnC_Photo' (assume it's id 56)

on your page you could have
[catlist=56]
[catlist=41]

Now when you assign a post the category of GnC_Photo, it will show up first followed by the posts from the 'Gear and Craft' category. The neat thing about this is, you could change the photo at any time by adding the GnC_Photo to another post.

One of my 'projects' is playing with the page2cat plugin. I'd like to make it so you could say [catlist=41 and 56] so it would only lost things that had both categories. but I keep spending too much time answering forum questions
