Using WP show posts instead of php template?

Hi,
I would appreciate a little bit of help and advice.
I'm changing from a very old theme to GP premium and the Dispatch site.
In the old site I had certain pages made with PHP templates. For example this one:
https://www.alternativephotography.com/all-articles/
So, certain categories, and then the posts for the categories are displayed underneath. How can I do this in the current theme? With WP show posts?
Thank you!

Hi there,

thats correct, you would need to create a Static page and use the WP Show Posts plugin to create each category list.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply. Just to clarify, I make one list for each category, like this below "List of alternative photographic process events"
Where Events in January is one, Events in February is another etc?
On the page I want to re-create there are 40+ categories, so that will be a lot of lists. Is that the best way to do it? :-)

Yes that's the easiest without custom coding for sure.

Unfortunately it's definitely a lot of work for such a long page :(

Hi Leo,
Thanks! At least I only have to do it once. :-)

No problem :)
