I would use WP_Query for this, as I am more comfortable with it. There are two solutions to this that occur to me. If you’re not heartset on the categories, then WP_Query has good support for date parameters, to include a year parameter. A query by year would look something like this: $wpse176213_query = new … Read more
List post categories that link to a page showing those posts
One way to do this would be to create a custom widget which displays categories using wp_list_categories(). Then exclude any categories you don’t want displayed using the exclude option of wp_list_categories(): http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Include_or_Exclude_Categories. This example below creates a custom categories widget in Appearance / Widgets. This code can be added to functions.php or used in a … Read more
First you would need to check if the category has children, if it does then we can show a few things. Below is a helpful function to check just that. function category_has_children( $term_id = 0, $post_type=”post”, $taxonomy = ‘category’ ) { $children = get_categories( array( ‘child_of’ => $term_id, ‘type’ => $post_type, ‘taxonomy’ => $taxonomy ) … Read more

You should delete this part (as Pieter wrote): $the_query = array( ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘cat’ => $cat, ‘posts_per_page’ => 20, ); $arrgs = new WP_Query( $the_query ); $temp_query = $wp_query; $wp_query = NULL; $wp_query = $arrgs; I’m supposing that you want to show 20 posts per page, you could either configure that in Settings->Reading panel … Read more
