Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Is it possible to only have the posts on the index page be from a single category (ie 'News') while posts in other categories are reached through the category navigation?

You can do this with PHP. Flynn helped me out when I wanted to show posts from all categories on the front page EXCEPT from 2 categories, Obituaries and Letters to the Editors. I wanted them to show only in the left sidebar as separate "Recently In....." widgets.

I put this in the Style and Edit Center Column/Content Above the Loop section:
Code:
<?php if (is_front_page() && !is_paged() )
     $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-15,-80'); ?>
The -15 and -80 means "don't show posts from these categories". The clunky way to do what you want would be to put all of your categories EXCEPT the one you do want in there with the minus sign. The elegant way would be with the proper PHP code.

Another possibility is to use the Sticky Front Page Categories and Tags plugin or the Opt-in Front Page plugin which allows the blog or news category to show as you wanted.
