Help With Custom WP Config

[grazie]

The theme that I am currently using is The Amazing Grace Theme. I want to be able to post articles every other day, but I don't want those articles to be posted on the first page every time I create a new post. I'm pushing a certain product and want that content to stay on my homepage.

I tried searching for my answer, but didn't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Settings>Writing>Front page displays: A static page

I want a particular category to be the "static page". If I do it ^ that way, I have to delete all my posts and copy/paste them under the new page I created. Which will leave me with this myblog.c0m/home instead of what I want which is myblog.c0m

To just display posts from a certain category on any one page, you'll need to alter the Loop.

Something like this:

<?php query_posts('category_name=whatever&showposts=10'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

... display the posts ...

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : ?>

... nothing found ...

<?php endif; ?>

You could probably check to see how your theme normally displays posts, and copy the formatting to put between the conditionals. Does that get you any closer?

Caveat: Changing the loop like this might introduce some other issues with your sidebars and other bits that use the loop, but it's somewhere to start from, at least.

Thanks SleepyLee...while that did work to an extent, I found a plugin that completely solved the problem.
