multiple blog pages on one wp install

  • is it somehow possible to have more than one blog in a single wp installation?

    it’s for a music website.

    what i want:

    Different blogs: main news, own items (interviews etc.), video posts.

    the front page: main news and own items together in one list, and in a second collumn the latest video (a blogpost with an embedded video and some text)

    Extra pages: One page with all the own items listed and one page with all the video items listed (like a blog)

    I don’t want to have multiple wp installations, as it’s one site.

    I hope it’s clear what i mean, and surely hope it’s possible..

  • You could do this…

    Write your posts and attach each one to it’s respective category. In a custom menu, you could link individual pages to individual category archive pages.

    WordPress creates a category archive page for each category by default, so if you had 10 posts attached to the “video” category, you could link a page named “Videos” to the “video” category archive page. This page would only show the posts that are attached to the “video” category.

    You could do this for each category.

    How to find url for video category archive page? In a default install, it would look like this:
    https://yourdomain.com/category/video

    Put this link into a custom page menu for the page of “Video”.

    Are you familiar with custom menus in WordPress? If not, you can use the “Page Links To” plugin.

    It is possible. You could create a network of blogs from one WP install but that’s a more involved process.

    Therefore, awarner20’s recommendation would be a better solution if you just wanted to classify different kinds of posts within the site which you can do as he pointed out simply via categories. You can even go via post_formats (requires theme config) as well without going multisite.
