How to Create a Category Blog Page

A great feature of Genesis is the built-in ability to create single category blog pages. These pages will show posts from a specific category when using the blog page template. You can create as many post category pages as you’d like by following these instructions:

Step #1
Create a new page and title this page whatever you’d like. On the right side of the page editor, choose the blog page template.

Step #2
Next, you’ll need to add a custom field to your page. Scroll down to the custom field meta box, and create a new custom field by clicking the Add Custom Field button.

Add the text query_args as the name of the custom field. For the value, use cat=1. In this case, the number 1 is the ID of the category of posts you’d like to display on this page. Change the ID to the category of posts you’d like to display.

We recommend installing the Reveal IDs plugin to find your category ID.

Step #3
Publish your page, and that’s it. You now have a page that displays posts from a category of your choosing. To select how many posts to show, you can go to the Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives section in your dashboard.
