Posts in Multiple Directories?

Is this possible?

You could have a static home page and a blog page simultaneously. You can have a Page in the form https://www.domain.com/my-first-page/. But not a post. Posts are always filed under categories and/or date.

So, are you saying I can do this?

https://www.domain.com/index.php – Static Homepage
https://www.domain.com/blog/ – Blog
https://www.domain.com/category/my-blog-post/ – Blog Post

How would this work? Would I need to Add a page in WordPress with the URL /blog/ and then make a template to pull in the blog posts?

Yes

Would I need to Add a page in WordPress with the URL /blog/ and then make a template to pull in the blog posts?

No. Simply make a Page called Blog and another with whatever title you want to give to your static Home page. Then navigate to Settings/Reading. Under “Front page displays”, check “static page” and choose your new Home page from the Front page dropdown. Next, choose your Blog page from the Posts page dropdown.

Okay…

So I make a page called ‘Blog’ and the url is /blog/

I make another page called ‘Home Page’ and the url is /home/

Then am I able to make wordpress redirect /home/ to the root?

Also, will all blog posts be filed like this?
/blog/category/post-title/

Or, can it be like this?
/category/post-title/

Thanks

Setting the page called ‘Home Page’ as your static front page will automatically set up the re-direct.

will all blog posts be filed like this?
/blog/category/post-title/

No – they will still be filed in their appropriate category.

Okay, thanks. I will try this out before I try to apply it to my live site.
