Changing Default Page

  • Hello All.

    My WordPress blog is: https://Biblicalmissiology.org

    Right now when we publish anything, all of it shows up on https://BiblicalMissiology.org

    What I want to do is to create a Category, and that Category shows up as https://BiblicalMissiology.Org

    I also want to create another Page that points to another category. That will be in the Menu. I believe I know who to do this by creating a new page and putting in the title:

    <a href’=”https://biblicalmissiology.org/category/blog2”>UnBiblical Missiology</a>

    Basically we’re splitting our blog into two main sections, and depending on Category, it will be either on one, or the other.

    How do you do this?

  • You can have the menu system point to a specific category’s archive pages, that’s not a problem. But by default, the main page of your blog is either going to be the general posts page or a static page. The easiest route would be to let your main page be a welcome page and then have the menu direct people to two different archive pages for the two categories you want to split the site into. That may also provide some aesthetic balance because otherwise one category gets front page, the other requires action to view.

    If you want to display posts of a specific category on the main page, you’ll have to modify your theme’s template files, are you comfortable editing PHP?

    Thanks for the info.

    I can edit php if I’m told what to do specifically.

    How do you get WP to have the opening page be a welcome page?
