Pages vs. Categories

  • Hi I am really new to Word Press hence this questions.

    I have 5 pages setup in my Word Press (Home, about, friend and family, Inside EMAB and Photos). I have two posts.

    My problem is that ALL my posts show up on the home page.. Might there a way to associate a posts category with a certain page? This way when I post something under say the category of “Friends and Family” the post only shows up on the page “Friends and Family”?

    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • Wonder if you would find it easier to use this technique:

    How to easily display links to both Pages and Categories in the blog navigation header?

    Hmm interesting but I don’t think this will work for me. There will be more than just the “Friends and Family” category we want to associate to the “Friends and Family” page.

    Meaning I have “Family Events” category that I would like to only be associated to the “Friends and Family” page..

    Also this solution would not prevent ALL posts from showing up on my home page.

    There must be a way to delegate where a post should show up and I would assume that this would be by associating certain category’s to certain pages.

    Just so I am clear here, this is not a feature already part of word press correct? Cause I have been looking all over the backend to no avail.

    That is correct. You will then want to look at making your Page Templates list posts beloging to certain categories. You might consider using Custom Fields on your Pages that define what categories are to be displayed.
