Adding actual pages, different from the main theme?

  • I’m looking to turn my navigation buttons into actual pages, where I can post an individual blog on each topic shown. I’d also like to know how I can move a few things around on my About page, more specifically how I can lose the left sidebar and just type away.

    If you check out, `Sticki News and click on any of the nav buttons, Sports, Technology or Politics you will understand what I mean. I want separate blogs on each page, with different headers, sidebars, links and even ads.

    What’s the best way to go about doing this? I’m relatively new to blogging, php language and even HTML. I have the power to learn and I will work at it until it meets my standards.

    Just point me in the direction, a tutorial or anything. Thanks WP, nice to have ya around.

  • Search the forums. There have been many threads that discuss topics like this. (here, here, and here)

    Basically, you will have to modify the theme to accomplish what you are trying to do.

    Check this topic out for an idea to show or hide the sidebar on certain pages. You will need to use is_page() instead of is_home and wrap the get_sidebar() call.

    drphil9001, thanks for your response man. Those threads aren’t exactly what I’m looking for. I was looking for a plug-in, non code related. I just want my blogs that I categorize as tech to wind up on my tech page and the ones categorized as sports to end up there. Etc. Etc. I still want my most recent posts, no matter what the category to end up on my home page, but also filed into it’s appropriate page. I have the nav buttons and pages up and running, now how can I set it up to automatically carry these posts to the correct pages.

    Just in case I sound retarded. I post ” apple’s new isausage”, I’d like that on my home page as the most recent post on my blog, because it is. I’d also like it on the tech page of my site. So if a reader wants to check out my latest tech blogs, he/she can click the technology navigation link and not have to whip through my archives or look through the whole site. Just want categories to match the navigation links, thats all.

    Any plugin’s available for it? I customized my permalinks, if that helps.

    Check me out real quick, Sticki News
