Help Deciding How To Organize Pages/Posts

    I’m creating a website for the research group I work for, using WordPress as a CMS. I’m having trouble organizing. I think that some things (such as individual research studies) should be posts that then get sucked into the correct page based on categories or tags – primarily I think this is best since that way most people will only edit small bits. I’d appreciate any comments on how I might make this work best or if there’s a solution I haven’t thought of.

    Here’s a rough outline:
    Home
    – About
    – Contact
    – Executive Committee
    Research
    – Studies
    – Grouped by longitudinal vs. pilot technology
    – Start dates & stop dates
    – Each study has it’s own page
    – Publications
    – Data
    – Data request form
    – Data sharing/authorship policies

  • You can organize content in Parent and Child Pages. For the Individual Research Studies, create a Page Template. This Page can be coded to get specific data from the blog posts which are organized into categories as you mentioned above.

    Thanks for the suggestion. That’s along the lines of what I was thinking of doing – just wasn’t sure if people had any other suggestions on how to approach the design.

    I think the approach works well, I’m doing the same for my page. I post everything to the blog, categorized. And then there’s pages per topic that pull all posts based on the specific category.
