Create posts on different pages

  • HI, I have my website set up with several different pages. I want to be able to add posts to a SPECIFIC Page, by selecting the category of the post, and have it automatically assign the post to a specific page. For example: I have pages for Ancient History, Middle Ages, Modern, etc.. I want to be able to create a post (in the posts section) and assign it to a specific page by just selecting the category that it should be assigned to. Hopefully this makes sense. SO, If I go to Add new Post, it automatically opens the editor, but on the Right, it DOES have a drop down for categories. I have created the categories to coincide with my pages – so I want to select the category from the list and have it post the entry directly to the corresponding page. Is there an easy way to do this, or a plugin that will allow me to assign the page a post is published on directly from the post? Any help would be appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi, Coleen, this tutorial proposes several ways to include posts on a particular page:

    As this tutorial mentions, WP Show Posts, https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-show-posts/, is a plug-in that you can use to show posts on your pages, and it seems like an easy way of addressing what you want without coding.

    Hi Ian, thanks for the response. I went and watched the video on the link you sent. I don’t think this is what I’m looking for. It didn’t show that you can write a post and choose what PAGE to put it on. I’ll check out the plugin, but if that video is what it does – I didn’t see where you write a post and select a page to put it on.

    I need to be able to write a post and assign it to a particular page. In other words, I write a post and when I publish it, I need to be able to select the page that it shows up on and that’s that. It SHOULD be simple.

    Well, I tried this. So far, it does NOT work. I tried creating a test post, copied the short code, pasted it into the page I was trying to put the post in, and nothing… no test post shows up. Are there detailed instructions for this somewhere? I’ve followed the ones I found here: https://wpshowposts.com/
