Display WordPress Archives one category at a time?

1. You can create your own custom archive page using the class WP_Query. Specifically, something like:

   <?php $query = new WP_Query('category_name=code'); ?>  
   <?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
   <!-- display the category here --> 
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   

   You can look at the default theme’s archive.php to get a feel for what else is needed to display a particular category in a layout you are familiar with.

2. This is what I use to show a list of titles and permalinks for the category “mycategory”; this can go inside the main WordPress loop:

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=mycategory&showposts=-1'); ?><?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a><?php endwhile; ?>
   

   Change the “-1” to “1” to show only the one most recent post; to “10” to show the last 10 posts, etc.
