• Okay, a bit of a crappy title, but I’ll try to explain: I’ve got a horizontal navbar on my log, but how do I use the different categories I’ve got there? Do I need to create different folders for them? How do I get WP to find the stuff in the new folder? If this isn’t clear enough, please say so and I’ll try to explain better.

  • In your admin zone under manage/categories you can add new cats. Then when you post you can choose the cat it goes in (one or more).

    Hey,

    I think it looks like you want to list the categories of your blog on on your horizontal navigation bar, yeah? So people can click the links and be shown the post from a certain category?

    If you want to do that, you need to edit your templates and use the list_cats() or wp_list_cats() template tags.

    The folder structure is done automatically by wordpress (if you have the permalink structure enabled). Using one of the template tags will display a list of the categories with clickable links that, when clicked, show just the posts in that category — that is all you have to do. There is no need to create new folders :).

    Think that is what you mean anyway!

    Ok, thanks. But how do I make a different page for some stuff? Because I want a part of the site where you can read my reviews, and a part where I post photo’s and a part where I want to make an ‘about’ section. So I want to create a different page for different categories (man my explanation really sucks), how do I do that?

    For different “pages” – correctly templates for different categories, see: Category Templates in the Codex.
    For the about page you need to read about Pages and related topics (Templates etc.) in the Codex.

    Thanks, I’ll try that and see where it goes.
