I am trying to do the same thing – trying to get it to look exactly as it would on the blog template… can you tell me how you got the entire post to show?

Thanks for posting this function. My wife has a scrapbooking blog and was looking for something like this and it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot! It saved me a ton of time.

That’s what lead me to this post. The only thing I’m having trouble with, actually, is getting the date to display in the byline – everything else is a copy of the main page (minus teasers, which is fine with me). I’ve used your code, modified slightly for a custom page template to display full posts, but I can’t get the_date or get_the_date to work. Thoughts?

Here’s my post on the thesis forum: http://bit.ly/fbxcC2

Thanks!

The custom loop api is definitely a better route for this. This post was originally written almost two years ago, before the custom loop api was available.

To be honest, even with the custom loop api I always had difficulty duplicating the look/feel of the Thesis blog stream (with its features and teasers). It’s much easier to do in Genesis.

I have a feeling I can do it more easily with a custom loop api, but not sure how…

Thanks for your help, Bill!

Cheers,

To be honest, it would be easier to add text to the top of a category page rather than build a new category page out of a standard page.

This is great, but if I want to format this page to match my home page, but only for this custom category page (in other words, display full posts instead of excepts and be styled to match). How would I change this code to do that? Right now it all looks unstyled and, well, basic.

Thanks,
Joshua
