  Hey! If you’re reading this, thanks!
  I would like to know if I can make a page that automatically archives a certain category? I know that there is a shortcode or what’s it called, but I wasn’t ever able to figure out how to archive a CERTAIN category.
  If you can help, thanks so much!

  Hi there. The easiest way to do this is by creating a Category Page. You’ll need to create a custom menu to be able to use category pages. Read these for full instructions:

  You can also create a regular page and use the Display Posts shortcode to display posts from a certain category.

  Note that the shortcode can only display up to 100 posts, and while the initial setup might seem complicated, category pages really works easier than the shortcode, but it’s your choice.
