    I would like to manage several category listings (Categories 1 / Categories 2)

    Do you know how to do it easily?

    ps : I would like to implement this on the WP_Premium theme

    I don't know that theme. Are you saying that you want multiple categories?
    Just make the main categories, and make any additional ones under each main one...sub categories.

    If that theme has drop down menu's they will show underneath when hovered over.
    Do you mean something like on my site ?

    Thanks for your answer

    Yes. I wanted to display a categories 1 listing with many (sub) categories and at least another categories (2) listing...

    Of course I can deal with 2 categories and sub categories but it's not really what I want because I would like to rename "Categories 1" and "Categories 2" and not publish any word "categories" on the site

    Your example is quite a good one of course

    I can do another thing with subdomains (category 2 for instance being on a subdomain) but it's not easy to manage

    Well - It's a tricky issue

    You can name Categories what ever you want. I have 75 categories on my new blog...all organized as mostly sub categories.

    It is very easy to maintain. Just name one category, for instance, "Cars", and make sub categories, "Chevy", Buick", Chrysler", "Nissan", etc.......then move to the next main category and name it, "Trucks", for instance, and fill it up with sub categories.
    They will display just like that, and you can have as many as you want.

    One thing to remember about word press.
    The categories won't display on your blog, until you have a post categorized with the category name.

    So until you have a post with the box checked for "Nissan" in your sub category of "cars"..it wil not show, but when you do..it will show both the main, and the sub.
