wordpress category base theme

[rosh8111]

recently i have launched a website” http://www.shifakuwait.com/v2″ which is running on wordpress platform, on the home page it have 3 post section divided in to three separate regions called “news & events””advanced medical services” ” emergency services “, what i need is post the content as dynamic content as excerpt, i need to select the category in post section while i’m publishing it, so it will come to it desired position when it’s published. + it need to have “read more ” link so they can read full content in a separate page.

Does anybody have know the code for this in wordpress.

use the wp function get_categories() to pull all the categories, loop through the categories and pull all the recent posts.

Also might be good to read up on multiple loops http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops

Also, there are several themes out there that do what you’re wanting to do, it might be worth it to investigate them. Here’s one : http://www.wpthemedesigner.com/2009/03/27/turnout-mag-theme/

There are a couple different ways to get the “read more” link. The wordpress codex outlines how: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

If you want to use the_excerpt() template tag method, this page is very helpful for customizing the look and output of the excerpt:
