Create a second Page Like a "Blog"

[pfitznerk]

Whenever I put up a new Post it goes automatically onto the Blog page.

Now Id like to have a second page called Buying Advice with the same setup as the Blog Page.

I created a new page "Buying Advice" and the page is empty. Then I go to posts and start a new post but it still lands on Blog. How do I connect the posts to my new page Buying Advice?

Thanks,
Kate

I have about 10 different categories. Thats not the issue. The issue is how to connect a post to a certain page NOT BLOG page up in the nav menu. So it shows up same as a Blog page.

Or if I have a certain Category ...lets say "Buying Advice" and have this category come up in the nav menu.

Yes. You can add the category name in your nav menu. Go to menus page, there have Categories section. Expend it and you'll get all your categories. Now check the checkbox and add the item in your nav bar. that's it.

This will allow you to have your blog posts show up on the page you want. You will be able to display a single category on a single blog page. You can do this for each category if you want. Just repeat the process for each.

If you follow the steps in my Additional Options you will be able to remove that category from the blog page.

It still shows the post on two pages BLOG and BUYING ADVICE

I only want it to show in BUYING ADVICE. I did exclude this category ID # from the BLOG template in theme settings...

Any idea how to change this?

[black9design]

when you exluded it you only entered the number correct? Make sure on the blog post as well that it's only category is the one you excluded otherwise it will still show up for the other categories.

yes only the cat number....

my post still displays twice on two pages in the main menu

[pfitznerk]

Oh....and it also displays in the sidebar Recent Posts...

Need to get it out of the BLOG page

There is one weird thing I noticed. All my Categories including the new one "Buying Advice" I can edit or delete...and yes I did create a new page also for Buying Advice...

EXCEPT The Page BLOG....Blog shows up in categories but cant edit it.

[black9design]

that means each of the other categories is a child of "buying advice". On the recent posts I recommend you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/ which will let you exclude the categories you want as well.

You may need to edit your menu as well if it's showing up and it's not supposed to be.

it says : This plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Is there anything else? you mean all categories are child to BLOG page at the moment...."Buying Advice Page" Blog Template does not show up in categories unless I create one.

[black9design]

to resolve your recent posts problem:

import this code into your functions.php and it will give you the ability to exclude categories on your recent posts.

Please send a link to your site so I can see better what is happening or take screen shots please.

It did not work...I did everything described in your answers...

Pls send me your skype ID so I can send you my information.

[pfitznerk]

HELP needed....I have been playing around to exclude this post and used this method and put it in the Functions.php

<?php
function excludeCat($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set('cat', '-3,-5,-23');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat');
?>

I got this error now and my wp dashboard is gone:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home3/pfitzner/public_html/wp-content/themes/beautiful-pro/functions.php on line 257

I deleted what I have added and I still get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home3/pfitzner/public_html/wp-content/themes/beautiful-pro/functions.php on line 257

What happened? Why can I not access my WP admin anymore?

[pfitznerk]

...and Now my whole site is gone...
