Customize individual wordpress categories?

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by Chris Guthrie, Jun 27, 2009.

    I want to find a plugin where I can customize content that displays above the posts in that category.

    i.e. say computer news is a category

    I want to be able to display featured news posts in a seperate content section above the recent posts in the computer news category.

    But then I want to be able to make different stuff for other categories.

    Is there a plugin that does this?

    I think you're looking at something slightly different than what I was looking into. I want to go to:

    mywebsite.com/category/news
    mywebsite.com/category/deals

    Then I want to be able to customize the code that displays above these categories on an individual basis.

    No ideas?

    I just want to customize each Wordpress category so that I can tailor the results on the category to be more specific to what I want.

    are you looking for something like sticky posts? and it should work with categories?

    or

    you want to display a static content customized for each category

    Please clear my doubt, I think I can help you in this

    Static content customized for each directory. Although I suppose it'd be nice to do a combination of static and dynamic.

    you can create WP templates with category.php as file name and you can include a unique customized template for each category
