Question

I am currently using wordpress for the website development and i want to change this page's formatting which is having url

http://www.selfmadesounds.com/dev3/?catid=featured&slg=featured3

I need to change this page's formatting such that i can exclude out the extra things from this page.

You need to find which template is being served for this page. [Have a read of this](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/37292/how-do-you-find-out-which-template-page-is-serving-the-current-page). — montrealist, May 07 '13 at 04:24
its an wordpress plugin named all-video-gallery so there is no template assignment for this page. — user2319553, May 07 '13 at 04:32

you are probably looking for category.php.

If you are a beginner with templating / themes / wp in general, you can simply search for class="category" and add a small string INSIDE the div in all of the template files where the search hit, one by one , and see which one is the one you look for .

You can insert <? php echo 'This is my page'; > or simply insert XXXXXX.

but just make sure you are not doing so in header.php, sidebar.php or footer.php - those will in all likelihood will appear on ALL your pages . ( also functions.php is to be excluded , but not in all cases ..)

but like others said, you should read the codex page about template hierarchy. it can also be any other filename (custom-loops.php file, custom-category-filename.php etc. depending on theme.

Edit I

I think you are mixing a bit of concepts here .

this line :

http://www.selfmadesounds.com/dev3/?catid=featured&slg=featured3

Is not a page, it is a URL with get parameters , and it represents a query for category : Featured with Slug : featured3 .

As for itself , it is NOT a page , it is a Query ( and i suspect that it is a plugin or theme related ). The query later produces , or renders a page .

At any rate , my advice still stands , Put a dummy code inside all the template pages and see which ones is your page .

For the rest - if you will supply more info or code , people could help more .

the `catid` part means `category ID` and the `slg` means `slug` . Read my edit . – Obmerk Kronen May 07 '13 at 07:12
i know what they mean but i am not able to find particular file for that. – user2319553 May 07 '13 at 07:17
@user2319553 did you try what I wrote ? open all theme files , search for the `class="category"` , put your string ? – Obmerk Kronen May 07 '13 at 07:23
there is no such file with this text class="category" – user2319553 May 07 '13 at 09:33
@user2319553 Then either you are showing us the wrong link, OR you are looking in the wrong place . – Obmerk Kronen May 07 '13 at 09:41

You have to check the Wordpress Template Hierarchy, a quick guess would be single.php from the active theme, but there is no way to be sure other than actually searching in the theme
