Quick way to display a “Category archive” as a page in WordPress

  1. In your wp-content/themes folder, copy the “category.php” file to “template-categorypage-categoryname.php”.
  2. Edit the template-categorypage-categoryname.php.
  1. Add
    <?php
    /**
    * Template Name: CategoryName Category page

    to the top of the page.

    ?>
     tag, add
    <?php query_posts('cat=[categoryid]&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>
