Hi Kirsty,

Love the blog (been a reader for ages). Just wanted to point out to anyone using this snippet of code (which is awesome by the way) that when you copy it from your blog it copies the formatting from the quotation marks (around the Read More text) and will break your archive.php page. The way to fix this is to copy it from your blog to Notepad and then copy it into your archive.php page.

Best wishes,

James

Many Thanks as always for your useful info.

I am far from a web developer, but after playing around with my wordpress theme code, I have got my category pages showing thumbnails of the relevant products as well as changing the date and time area to show a direct link to the retailer, hence giving me that extra little bit of exposure.

Enjoy your spiders!!

You can also keep sub category posts from showing up in the parent completely by adding this little code after the start of loop.

if ((is_category()) && in_category($wp_query->get_queried_object_id())) {

Then you can use the parent category for a king of landing page/sub category directory.
