    Hi – firstly, is there a way I can display a featured category title above the category listing? ie:

    “Featured Listing” (title)
    then the list of all the enteries of the “featured” category

    Yes, I could manually put it there, but I actually want it to disapear should a user choose another category.

    Basically what I am trying to achieve is when the visitor goes to the main listings page for the first time I have it displaying the “featured” category by default and as I have the drop down available and also the full menu of all other categories showing – the visitor can change to a different category from there. However, I want the visitor to know that they are viewing this “Featured” category first.

    If you choose anything from the dropdown list – the category title is displayed at the top – but it is not there when you first visit the page.

    @ Vicky

    One way I can think of to do this is to enable the category description option and then add your title and any addiotnal text you may want to the “Featured” category description.

    Now, to make this work the way you want… after you have enabled the option and added the description, visit your directory page and then filter by the “Featured” category. Copy the link from the browser address by.

    Now go to the WordPress Menus admin page and add a “Custom Link” your sites man nav using the link you copied from the browser’s address bar.

    With that setup, when a user clicks the link in your site’s nav, the list will be filtered by the “Featured” category and it’ll display the text from the category description.

    Hope that helps! Let me know.
