WordPress CMS allows you to create different category templates and modify the category page content and layout. Be default the category page displays a list of published posts in a chronological order starting from the most recent posts. To create category templates you should perform several steps. <\/p>\r\n
Each category in WordPress has name, slug and ID. The category template file should contain category slug or ID. So for example if you want to create category template for the category "news" with ID: 5 the cateogry template file would be category-news.php<\/strong> or category-5.php<\/strong><\/p>\r\n The default category.php<\/strong> file content is as follows:<\/p>\r\n Let’see what each part determines.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Include the template header<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Defines the page title.
