Right now by blog has the ‘home’ section where all my new posts go, and ‘pages’ sections which are static pages that i can edit.
my question is, can i have another section that will behave like the ‘home’ link?
for example, can i have a page called ‘cars’ and a section called ‘cats’, where i can add new posts to either section?
if this is not possible, what are some workarounds?
edit:
i dont want the blog homepage to contains ALL stories, i want it to contain all stories under the cat category, and the ‘car’ page contain all the posts under ‘car’ category.
in essence, it will be like i have 2 different blogs under a single blog
You can also create a custom feed and this to WP; use the function
add_feed()
for add a feed to WordPress and define the content inside the feed.A example for feed with the drafts of WP can you read in this post.
You can use categories. Have a “Cats” category, and a “Cars” category.
Your main Blog Posts Index will show Posts in all categories by default, but your Category archive index pages will show only posts from the given category. So:
example.com
: all blog postsexample.com/category/cats/
: posts in the “Cats” categoryexample.com/category/cars/
: posts in the “Cars” categoryAnd each category archive index page has its own feed, so you can have a “Cats” feed, and a “Cars” feed:
example.com/feed/
: feed for all blog postsexample.com/category/cats/feed/
: feed for the “Cats” categoryexample.com/category/cars/feed/
: feed for the “Cars” categoryMy solution is to combine the categories solution with a redirect plugin to clean up the URL:
Let’s say your page, “Bacon and Beans,” has a blog and two podcasts, one on “Bacon” and one on “Beans”:
You can use the Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin so that instead your users can type something more manageable and redirect to the desired feed:
Your blog feed:
Your podcast feed:
