Kin theme – creating a new gallery using menus, categories

  • Crossposting from the How-To forum; I think it’s better off here:

    So I’ve got this theme, Kin, running at my site, at https://www.travisely.com, and on this site there’s a nifty little image gallery on the homepage.

    The way this thing works, there’s a special settings page where I get to choose which category to assign to my homepage (I assigned it the category “home”). From there I create posts, which use images to basically create a photo gallery (seen at my homepage, and on each post I give it a category of “home.” Awesome – I’ve got 7 posts with a category of “home,” and now my homepage shows the photos I want.

    Where I’m lost is how to get the same kind of photo gallery running on another page (the “gallery” page in my menu).

    This is a working demo of the theme, and his gallery links are all basically leading to categories, like https://www.gallyapp.com/tf_themes/kin_wp/?cat=4. How do I do that? I asked him how to do it and he said “Basically, you have to add the category to menu via Appearance > menus.” Which means nothing to me; I started poking around in Menus and reading about it, and I’m lost. Can anybody help me out?

  • Hello elymt:

    I had the same problem like you and I used this link:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

    After create a custom menu (Appearance > menus), add categories and pages to your custom menu, finally choose it like primary menu (KIN template only works with one)

    Kin’s manual is not very clear, it seems more easy than true.
