   Probably a simple question...

   So I have this page that is blog posts filtered by categories:

   http://mnred.com/category/member-profile/

   What I'm trying to do is re-create that on this page:

   http://mnred.com/club-info/member-profiles/

   I'm just not sure how to do it.

   Thanks in advance

   Hello baggio16,

   You probably want to create a custom template.

   1. Create a new file and name it "template-members.php" and place it in your theme folder.
   2. Copy and paste the contents of "/wp-content/themes/infocus/archive.php" into your new file.
   3. At the very top of your new file change it so it looks like this,

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Members Page
   */
   
   get_header();
   require(WEBTREATS_INCLUDES . "/var.php");

   4. Find line 99 which should look like this,

   query_posts($query_string . '&cat='.$exclude_blog_cats); ?>

   And change it like this,

   query_posts($query_string . '&category_name=members'); ?>

   And change "members" with the slug of your category.

   5. Create a new page in Wordpress and select your new template.

   Let us know if this helps baggio16.

   Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it's still not working.

   This is the code I put for the filter

   query_posts($query_string . '&category_name=member-profile'); ?>

   Try this one,

   And remember to choose the "Members" template when creating your page.
