I’m assuming you do have more than 1 category, yes? * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404541) * yes, I have two categories set-up, with one post in each category. Hello World is assigned to test-cat and Introduction is assigned to introduction. * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404544) * If you need me to set something else up to make it easier, just let me know what you need. * Thanks * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404545) * So what’s “Newsletter”? a Page? * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404548) * “Newsletter” is the main WP installation directory, it is the same as when people install into “blog” or similar. * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404549) * If you like, I am available on Skype * dave_gravitysponsoring * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404556) * Ah – it’s your main posts page – which is meant to display **all** of your posts in date order. * If you intend to publish posts that don’t fit under the heading of Newsletters, you’ll need to rename that Posts page to something more generic, then set up a new catgeory called Newsletters and file posts under that new category as appropriate. * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404557) * ok… that’s great, but how do I link to the selected category and show ONLY the posts from that category? * ie at the moment I have two categories defined with only one post each. How do I display only the posts for one specific category. * The categories I have set-up at the moment are test-cat and introduction. * Thanks for your help * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404559) * Create a page called “Newsletters” as well. Then use the [Page Links To](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/) to redirect the new Page to the Newsletter category. WP will handle the listing of the right posts in the right category automatically. * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404566) * OK * Thank-you very much. I’ll Try that and see how I go * Dave * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404575) * OK… I think I might be almost there. * I can the point the Page to anything by the looks, but what I need it the url for a specific category. How do I manage that? * Thanks * Thread Starter [workathomenews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workathomenews/) * (@workathomenews) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404577) * I just thought, maybe I haven’t been very clear in defining what I am trying to achieve… * This blog will be used as a newsletter for my subscribers. * My autoresponder will send them an e-mail x days after they have subscribed with a link to the posts I want them to read x days after they subscribe. (ie a particular category of posts) * Then y days later, they will get another e-mail with another link to the posts that I want them to read y days after they subscribe. * And the process will continue for years. * What I need is a way to send them somewhere where they will only see the posts that belong to the category I have sent them to. * Thanks for your help * Dave * [huggie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/huggie/) * (@huggie) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-script-for-indexphp/#post-1404582) * This is very straight forward and being over complicated.
