   How can I make a new category template?

   I am unable to find how to make another category template that would be for articles. Which file should I change and what code is about the gallery pic? so that I can remove it for the articles?

   TY!

   A way that works for non-programmers is to use the Page Links To plugin.
   1) Show your categories in a sidebar widget.
   2) Click on the category you want to display on a page.
   3) Copy the url.
   4) Create the page where you plan to display the selected category.
   5) Paste the url into the Page Links To area.

   Hi,

   TY for your answers.
   I have created category templates several times on other websites. But with this theme that has a child, I cannot seem to be able to find where the layout of the category is... For example I can't find where the code says to show the thumbnail....

   TY.

   library/extensions/content-extensions.php look for the thematic_content() function... that is the one that adds the thumbnail to the excerpts.

   you can filter either thematic_post or i think there is a switch that turns off the thumbs

   I've never been able to make the category hierarchy work, it always seems to default to single.php / index.php instead of category-slug.php or category-id.php. Usually I'm able to work around it by using a template, but this time I think I need to figure it out.

   It's local so I can't post a link.

   Here is the file:

   category-forget-me-not.php

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="homecontent-top">
   
           <img src="http://www.aidsmemorial.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/home1.jpg" alt="homepic" width="960" height="400" border="0"/>
   </div><div id="featured-content">
        <div id="featured-leftcol">
        <div class="featured_post">
   
   		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   			<div class="entry">
    <?php the_content("<p class=\"serif\">" . __('Read the rest of this page', 'Grove') ." &raquo;</p>"); ?>
   
   				<?php wp_link_pages("<p><strong>" . __('Pages', 'Grove') . ":</strong>", '</p>', __('number','Grove')); ?>
   
   </div>
   			</div>
   		</div>
   		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   	<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
   	</div>
   
        <div id="featured-rightcol">
         <?php include("sidebar-forget-me-not.php");  ?>
         </div>
   
   <div class="clear"></div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
