A Page of Posts for a Twenty Eleven child theme

The following template simply displays posts from two specific categories (specified by their category slugs). It is designed to work within a child of the default Twenty Eleven theme. If you are using another theme, you need to replicate the html structure of your own theme within the template.

Save this to pageofposts.php and then assign the Page of Posts Template to your new Page:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Page Of Posts
*/

// if you are not using this in a child of Twenty Eleven, you need to replicate the html structure of your own theme.

get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'category_name' => 'antiquarianism, championship', // Change these category SLUGS to suit your use.
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
if( have_posts() ) :?>

<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' );?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

<?php else : ?>
<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h1>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->

<div class="entry-content">
<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
</div>
</article>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>
</div>

<?php get_footer();
