Posts Showing Up in Two Pages not One

  • Hi there. I’m having trouble figuring out why when our client posts an article using the “Family information” category it also appears in the “Announcements” category. And vice-versa. The same post will appear on two different pages then gets sent out as an RSS Mailchimp e-blast. So two different blasts with the same information. When I go to those pages I can’t edit them. If you want to see the two pages involved on the English site go to Care and Services –> Family’s Role. And the same posts appear on the News –> Announcements. The site is currently running WordPress 5.8.2 running DIvi theme v 4.9.10. I didn’t build the site and I’m unfamiliar with how to set-up the pages in the current manner. Normally I’d just use the Posts Widget in Divi and tell it what category to post. This site isn’t built that way. Thanks for the help and happy holidays!

    I don’t think the “Annonces” menu pick (/fr/annonces/) is an actual category listing. Its URL does not contain the “/category/” portion. It appears to be more of a recent posts type of page. There is also an “Annonces” category at /fr/category/annonces/, but recent family information posts do not appear there. Perhaps you’ve used the wrong URL when configuring e-mail blasts?

    Thanks. I guess that’s the case. Just wrong URLs. So every blog category should have a “/category/” portion attached to it? That’s the tell tale sign that the page linked to the RSS eblast is wrong?

    Correct. URLs without /category/ like /fr/annonces/ are for either a single post or page. Given the content of annonces, it’s almost certainly a page with a special template that queries for recent posts. While it’s possible to have a custom URL structure that doesn’t do so, all taxonomy term URLs by default always include a base element like /category/.

    The language designators like fr or en are actually a custom structure, but limited to language. The remainder apparently follows the default structure.
