Need help! Newbie to WordPress

Pages – Display static content. A page may also display an excerpt of any associated child pages below the main content if the theme is designed to do so.

Posts – Display static content, but are displayed dynamically. Posts can appear in categories, archives, and tag searches.

Pages are generally considered to be non-changing, and always display the same content in the same location.

Posts are generally a little more dynamic in how you can present them to the end user.

You don’t really add a post to a page.

What is it exactly you are envisioning?

Add post to certain pages.
The simplest way to understand is here.
Mouse point to appearance, click on menu.
Look at the right side, create a menu, namely as Main/Home/Page1, whatever you want, save.
Look at the left side, select Main/Home/Page1 as main menu.

1-Add content to your page, eg. Private policy, terms, disclaimer, etc.
2-Back to appearance, menu, select those pages you want to appear on menu bar, each selection will send it to the right side, on there, save and you are good to go.

At the time of writing this, I don’t even see my WP dashboard.
Have an awesome day!

Thank you Josh and Seoblogbuzz, I really appreciate the help.

@josh:

I’m getting the idea that things work a little different than I initially expected on wordpress.
See my website: https://www.jgrblogs.com

I have 5 pages displayed at the top-left, and 4 post with dummy text. How I envisioned this all to pan out was that I could post each of those blog entries to different pages accordingly. So “NYC Night Life” would go in the page: Around NYC. “The Dark Knight Rises – Thoughts” and “The Last Stand for Biohazard” would go in the page: Entertainment (because video games and movies fit under that) and major news going on in our world would go in the page: Our World and so on and so forth. Am I going about this the wrong way??

Thank you very much, I will try this out right now and hope my theme doesn’t get in the way of this. Is this how you post content to different links? Thank you again!

Not really. I know what you’re trying to do and it doesn’t quite work like that… except on the home page.

You can set the home page to have static content at the top (the page) and then blog posts beneath that (the dynamic posts).

However, as far as I know, you can only do this on your home page… although perhaps there is a plugin out there which might prove me wrong.

So, what you can do is create your pages, and then have a child menu link which links to a category of the posts you want to assign to that page.

Your menu might look something like this:

Page NYC Page BIO Page ETC
Posts NYC Posts BIO Posts ETC

So, each page would be static. And you can create a custom menu, per the other comment on this thread.

1. Create a category for each group of posts.
2. Assign each post to it’s appropriate category as you create the posts.
3. Use a custom menu to display a link to the category with the posts you want to display.

It sounds like a lot… but once you understand the basic concept… you’ll quickly learn how to get it customized to how you like.

Good luck ??

Thank you so much Josh. I was able to actually achieve what I wanted to thanks to your advice. I really appreciate it you’ve no idea. Had I not shaved my head recently, all of my hair would’ve been gone anyway from the amount of times I would’ve been pulling it due to this haha. Take care Josh! Have a good one.

Thanks mate! Glad you are happy with the results!
