Thank You. Yes - I am using child base theme and I placed the template file in the root. But what code do I put in it to get the loop work? I am not comfortable with coding, so I am now reading about the loop code.

I've made a step forward! In the "Map categories to pages" plugin code

<?php
	/*

	//constants
	$kCmcp_incponc='mcp_incponc'; //include Pages on category pages
	$kCmcp_showponp='mcp_showponp'; //show posts on pages
	$kCmcp_showponp_arg='mcp_showponp_arg';//argument for title of posts to show on the Pages header=Posts&before=<h3>&after=</h3>
	
	//to make it compatible with WP3
	add_action('init', 'mcp_init');
	
	function mcp_init() {
		if(function_exists('register_taxonomy_for_object_type')){
	  		register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
		}
	}
	
	add_action('admin_menu', 'add_category_box_on_page');

	}
	
	function page_categories_meta_box($post) {

	}
	add_filter('the_content', 'mcp_process_posts');
	
	function mcp_process_posts($content=''){

			$args = get_option($kCmcp_showponp_arg);
			$defaults = array('header' => '', 'before' => '', 'after' =>  '');
			$r = wp_parse_args($args, $defaults);

	        <?php if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
	
	        <?php $content.='<h2>'.$header.'</h2>'; ?>
	
			<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
	        <?php
				//$content.='<div class="entry right">';
	
				$content.='		'.$before.''.get_the_title().''.$after;
	            //$content.='</div>';
	?>
					<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	        <?php
		}
		return $content;
	}
	
	?>[/code]

	
	this section is resposible for the output:
	
	

[code]<?php if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?> <?php $content.='<h2>'.$header.'</h2>'; ?> <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <?php //$content.='<div class="entry right">'; $content.=' '.$before.''.get_the_title().''.$after; //$content.='</div>'; ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?>

So I need to paste there some code that will output the date, author of the post and post content. According to this article: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop_in_Action I must put there something like this:

<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
	<div class="entry">
	<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
	</div>

But if I do this, I get only a list of authors and dates thousand times shown on the page (i have only two posts). I continue my experiments. May be now somebody could help with the code.

Please make your postings more concise.. its very hard to navigate this amount of code. What are your current issues? Maybe ask more pointed questions and start another thread?

Made it through the function.php and page templates.
