I’m not sure I like the idea of putting content in php files for my unique category headers. What if I want to change something on my category pages? Yep – I’ll have to manually edit each category’s php file. I think that kinda defeats the purpose of a CMS.

What I’ve been doing is using the description field for my unique content in the Manage -> Categories screen and just making sure I have the following in my archive.php :

and voila! – there’s my unique content at the top of every category page.

What I DO like about the Category pages plugin is that it allows you to use the TinyMCE interface to put in rich-text(bold,italics,etc.) and images, etc. It beats coding HTML into the category description field.

Hope I didn’t steal your upcoming idea JT!

Great Idea. I’m going to try the plugin and see if I like it.

While JTs solution is a good one, I don’t like the idea of managing content in the Theme Editor and maintaining all my different categories with different files. What if I want to make a change to my category pages? Yep, I have to edit all my category php files. I think that kinda defeats the purpose of a CMS.

What I’ve been doing so far is simply putting my unique content in the Description field under Manage -> Categories and then making sure I have

before the Loop in my archive.php (or category.php) page. Viola! There’s all my beautiful unique content on the top of every category page.

I was using the Category Description Editor plugin to be able to use rich-text and add images, etc. but it’s not compatible with WP 2.5.

So for now, I’m just writing my category content in Dreamweaver, then pasting it into the description field in the Manage -> Categories page.

This way I’m not creating pages in WP or category php files.

The Plugin is Category Pages

I found it yesterday and tested it this morning. It does for categories what JT is telling us to do with the template.

We can write a page and save it (don’t need to pulish it). We then check a little category box to associate the page with a category. . . and bingo you have your header information that is unique.

You do need to make an alteration to your archives page–see the page on “how to” for the plugin. It’s very easy.

I like the plugin over having to modify a template for each category. The reason is, if you have several wordpress blogs going your category number for the same topic can be different and an ID # isn’t the easiest way to remember what is what. The tags use slugs so they are easy to keep track of, however it would be great to have a plugin that does both . . . for those that aren’t ready to add a bunch of template pages.

Hope this helps those who don’t want to mess with the templates.
Enjoy. . .

I’ve heard that they don’t from SEO gurus and until just a couple of days ago I would have agreed with JT. I didn’t bother with the keywords meta. Then I was doing a search for a long tail. This is for a site I’ve been experimenting with.

Let’s say I searched A B C (three words). I have A & B in my title tag and on page and C is a hyperlink on the page, thus all words are on page. I’m doing everything a good SEO should do. My page is #2 and the #1 page has B & C in the title tag and on page but A doesn’t exist. . . . hmmmm, I thought. Why are they beating me. Now I know this page has no back links for this particular keyword. So I look at the source code and it shows in the keywords meta, 4 times.

I think the search engines look at everything in your code. They may give it a very low priority but they still look at it. It wouldn’t be showing up on the cached pages if they really didn’t care. I think what the SEO gurus see with the keyword meta tag is that the priority given is so low that they don’t feel it is worth it. This seems to be true especially for very competitive phrases—you need back links!! And lots of them.

However, if you are going for something very specific and all things are equal with two pages I think the search engines use things like keywords as a tie breaker.

Now hopefully as we learn more about SEO we won’t need a tie breaker

If you really want keywords meta tag you can put it into the template. If your site is generally about one thing then you can hard code it in.

Otherwise…..I agree with JT that is probably isn’t worth the time and effort especially if you write good copy and get your links.
