Adding posts to a page that’s not the homepage

  • Hi all

    I’m trying to help out a charity and may be in over my head. Entire website is built using WP and running 4.6.1

    I want to be able to add posts to a secondary page (not the homepage)

    For reference the home is despresdelsuicidi.org

    The ‘news’ page is despresdelsuicidi.org/noticias-2

    Until now they’ve been updating using html which requires help from their programmer, also voluntary, which slows down the process.

    Is it possible to add posts using WP’s post facility to the news page?

    Many thanks.

  • Hello!
    Yes, you may add posts to any page. You’ll need to insert a custom WP_Query loop in the noticias-2 page. Here is a blog post from Mr. Starr describing just how to do it:

    Good luck!

    Thanks for that Beau. I see that Brian Krogsgard has dropped in a far simpler way of doing this on the page you reference:

    What you should do is just change the option in your reading section. Create two pages for home and blog, then set them as the static home page and posts page in Settings -> Reading
    ___
    I’ve given this (above here) a go but when I change the WordPress Address (URL) to the page where I want the posts, I get a 404 error when I save.

    Any thoughts?
