(See <a href="http://mygraphicfriend.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/wordpress-create-a-page-template-that-displays-posts-from-a-category-that-has-the-same-name-as-the-page/#comment-133" rel="nofollow">http://mygraphicfriend.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/wordpress-create-a-page-template-that-displays-posts-from-a-category-that-has-the-same-name-as-the-page/#comment-133</a>).</p> <p>For item 2), I've tried different approaches discussed in this forum but I have not been able to implement them successfully, probably because the facts of the other topics were different than mine and because I'm very new to php. </p> <p>What code do I need to insert where? I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions! </p>
