I've played in wordpress and I've searched a million plug-ins and can't find anything that will do what I'm looking for. I'll explain the results I want and perhaps you know a solution:

Suppose the topic is "sports". Categories would be: MLB, NHL, NFL, MLS... on and on... Now, say I want to write an article I want as a PAGE but I only want to display this PAGE in the Category it is associated with. For example, a static article (as a sidebar link) in the NFL category about the "10 Best Defensive Players of All Time".

It seems that PAGES can only have other PAGES as other parents... not CATEGORIES. Likewise, POSTS cannot be made to relate to specific PAGES, only categories.

The only way I can think of solving this problem is set up a mini-blog for each category on the same domain. Just following my stream of consciousness as I type so I'm sorry if it's not so clear.

Thanks in advance for your help!
 


I absorbed about 10% of that request. Could you explain a bit more?

I also got a wordpress plugin request while ppl are looking.
I need a "recommended comments" plugin
So on each post I can check off comments that i would recommend people read and have a link to them show up on the bottom of the post. Sometimes I get some really useful comments that would be useful for ppl reading the post.
 
Basically, I want to make "Pages" that are only shown as Page links in Specific "Categories"

OR

I want to set "Posts" to appear on "Pages" and not "Categories"

WHY? Because your "Pages" links are shown on every page/category within your site and I want specific "Pages" links to be shown only on the specific, relevant category.

Haven't used either of these but the descriptions seem to fit your needs:
Projects › Comment Hilite [rebelpixel productions]
Allows admin to hilight noteworthy comments. Seems like what you're looking for.
Zero Rule. Rate Comments plugin for Wordpress
Users can rate comments and, comments which have bad ratings are hidden. This might automate the process if your readers think the "insightful" comments are the same ones you do.
 
Put your catagory name on the page and write your article. Add a link "more on..." on that page that goes to the corresponding catagagory of posts. The catagories can have sub catagories. The link will pull up all posts on that catagory.

To get the link, click on your catagory and copy the url. (you probably know this, but just in case someone out there doesn't I added this).
 
Basically, I want to categorize "Pages" in the same place I categorize "Posts" so each category is displaying the most recent posts with Pages for that category (and only that category) displayed in the sidebar...

Capisco?
