I am an independent WordPress web consultant with 10 years of experience in WordPress theme installation, customization, administration, maintenance, support, documentation, troubleshooting and PSD/design to WP.
Sridhar – I’m noticing this works great in the default WordPress category archives… but –
I’m using Genesis Archive templates as well, as the primary method of displaying information from the category.
but not the page using the Genesis Archive Page template (calling the category posts with the Genesis Sandbox Featured Content Plugin) – which is really where I need it…(it’s the landing page for the category) http://toddmurphylaw.com/home-loan-modification/
1) Instead of using a static Page with a Page Template, use the WP built-in category archive page. Remove the ‘category’ base from URL if it should not be present. Genesis allows archive intro text to be displayed above the list of Posts in archive pages.
2) Use my code above, remove the if conditional, then hard code the category ID in the query’s arguments. Place the PHP in a PHP widget and set it to appear only on your category landing page.
You’ve done it again, Maestro!
Hats off.
Thanks again!
(hitting the paypal!)

There are two approaches.
1) Instead of using a static Page with a Page Template, use the WP built-in category archive page. Remove the ‘category’ base from URL if it should not be present. Genesis allows archive intro text to be displayed above the list of Posts in archive pages.
2) Use my code above, remove the if conditional, then hard code the category ID in the query’s arguments. Place the PHP in a PHP widget and set it to appear only on your category landing page.
