How to get blog post to also post to another page?

[mymidwe2]

I did my first blog post yesterday. In addition to my homepage, I could like this post to appear under my "Recipes > Desserts" page. I assigned this post to the category "desserts" - is there a way to get this setup so it automatically goes to a certain recipe category based on the category that is assigned?

Thanks,

Jess

If you look at the post meta links at the bottom of your posts, you'll see that WordPress did that automatically for you.

Click on the link that says "Desserts", and you will go to the category page for all posts in "Desserts".

Thank you - when I try to edit the Desserts Page to have a link of http://www.mymidwestexistence.com/category/desserts/, it changes it to "categorydesserts" without the "/" and still doesn't work properly. Any suggestions?

First, you wouldn't want to do that.

The category archive is something that's automatically generated by WordPress, and isn't a "page". You can't force a static page to use that URL.

What you need to do is change your recipes page to list the different recipe categories instead of the static pages you created (but didn't need to).

Another thing you might try is setting up each page with a "blog" template for just that category, but you'd have to create a separate template for each recipe category that you have. But at least you'd be able to keep your pages.

Personally, I'd delete all of the static pages, and just use the category archives.
