Ok is there a Word Press Plugin that does this:

I want to add an extra catagory on my blog. But I don't want to have posts in that category on the main blog page. I want them published on a sub-page

Can it be done?
 


Rob this may help, not sure if its exactally what you want. This will split categories, you can see it in action here A Site Im Working On

then use something like this,
Code: 
<li><h2>Metal Detectors</h2>
                <ul>
                <?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1&hierarchical=1&exclude=20,21,22,23,24'); ?>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li><h2>Detectors By Price Range</h2>
            <ul>
            <?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1&hierarchical=1&exclude=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,25,26,27'); ?>
            </ul>
            </li>
            <li><h2>Metal Detecting Equipment</h2>
            <ul>
            <?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1&hierarchical=1&exclude=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,25'); ?>
             </ul>
             </li>

the &excludes is an argument by which you can exclude which categories you do not wish to be shown under each header.

That looks pretty close!

Would you need to exclude the added category from teh main page somehow?
 
If you take all the categories you have so far and want to split them in two say categories 1 through 4 and you want to split the 4 into two categories under two different headings. You want the first two to show up in category one. Just ad the &exclude=2,4 to the first category called out in your sidebar then for the second ad &exclude=1,2 to the second. In the first only 1 and 2 will show in the second only 2 and 4 and for will show.
 
Hmm... so if I logged in and wrote a post in CategoryG it would only show up on the CategoryG page and not on the index page?

(Sorry - my parents were cousins). :(
 
A post will still show up on your index page, but the above will give you the ability to split categories under different headers. So if you wanted one header "Chevy" and have different makes of Chevy under the chevy header, you could also make a header for "Ford" and only show links to ford categories makes and models under it.
 
like I said probably not exactally what your looking for, but......

If I new more Id give you more, but I am in the process of learning PHP and specifically WP, how it works and how to hack it.
 
Yeah - I can do pretty basic stuff in WP, but once it gets to seriously hacking it, I am lost.
 
I was and am the same way, but seeings that I have been using WP for all of my newer sites and I am wanting to learn PHP, I figure learning to hack the shit out of WP would help me out in both areas (my sites and learning PHP)
 
Do you know how to add a new category and have blog posts in that category only post on the category page?

(I am obviously doing an exceptionally poor job of describing what i am looking for.)
 
I think I know what your talking about, but know I have not even looked into it. You want to be able to make posts with them only being inserted under the category archive for that post and not on the index(home page) of the site.

You could try using a CMS type plugin that would allow you to use a static page as the index page (which I have used), but then none of your category posts would be displayed on the front page, but you could also ad an area on the front page that shows the most current posts......
