Is it possible to filter blog posts on blog page?

[dcerecedo]

I have created a blog page but it shows all blog posts. I can’t see any place to filter posts by category. Is this possible on agile theme?

Doing it with the blog shortcodes is not the way because they only show N posts and do not offer the option to paginate.

Here is the current status of my blog. I’d like to show only posts with blog category.

Thanks in advance for your prompt support!

Sorry for the delayed reply. You can modify the page template template-blog.php file at line number 23 to filter by category –

$query = array('posts_per_page' => intval(get_option('posts_per_page')), 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 0, 'category__in' => array( 2, 6 ), 'paged' => $paged);

where you supply the category ids as explained here – http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters.

You can have this template file in your child theme if you do not want to modify the parent theme template file and you can even rename this as another page template and use it.
