OK, I have the custom format exactly as I want it, and it works so long as I use:

[download#id#format=id]

It perfectly displays the one single specific item associated with the id, in the format with the other “id.” (http://testsite.aiimne.org/resource-library/ — site under construction)

But, what I want is a page which lists all the available downloads by category. I can accomplish that using [download_cat#id] (where id= the ID of the category). However, this only lists the “title” of the downloads in the specified category.

I want to list all the downloads in that category with the entry for each item to be in the custom format.

Anyone have an idea how to do that, or does anyone know if it is even possible.

I tried the following:

[#show_downloads#format=1] This results in nothing.

[download_cat#1#format=1] In this format, it seems like it is close, as it returns “No downloads found” (There are downloads in Category 1, and if I just put in [download_cat#1] it works fine by displaying all downloads in the category, but with only the Title.

I’m stuck and would appreciate any help. This would be a huge time saver for me.

Thank you Podz. I knew there had to be a way.

I was proud of myself for reading the codex and figuring out how to make a category template for a specific category on my blog at http://deep.mastersfamily.org. The Category is “Movies I Own.” Sorts in alphabetical order, uses only the excerpt.

However, as I’ve now entered the movies, I find that it gets stuck at four pages. In other words, once the number of movies gets long enough to require more than four pages to display, it simply stops are page four. The movies are there. I can adjust the number of posts per page for the category so that less than four full pages are required, and all the entries are there, but if I shorten the count, and put it over four pages, they simply don’t display.

Here is the code for this category template. If anyone has an inkling of what might be causing this, I sure would appreciate the help.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

<?php
// we add this, to show all posts in our

<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
