two blogs on same site?

  • hi there, the theme I’m using comes with a blog page template, which automatically sucks in any posts made and we’ll use this for News etc

    I also need a separate Events page that has the same format and works in the same way, i.e., when there is a new event coming up, my client can just ‘post’ to Events page. But when I create an Events page and choose Blog as the page template it just means that anything posted gets posted to both the Blog and the Events page, because it just puts it on any page that uses the Blog page template.

    Any ideas how I can do this please??

    Thanks

  • Where did you download the theme from?

    See Category Templates ? WordPress Codex

    go, it was download via theme forest

    I think this is more about how wp handles blogs rather than theme-specific.
    ie. Can a page display only certain blog categories?

    just looking at the link you sent now :0 thanks for that

    I don’t believe that you could have 2 blogs, since www.ads-software.com only gives you an option for a blog site.

    BUT.

    I do know that you could created a second page, and link it to the menu section.

    Or, you could just make a forum

    https://bbpress.org/ is a great page for Forums, and the download is free

    This is wrong; where did you read this?

    The OP isn’t asking about a page or a forum; they want a category page for posts in different categories.

    so i could use this to specify the category that the page is using for the blog posts?

    <?php
$args = array ( 'category' => ID, 'posts_per_page' => 5);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post);
 ?>
//Style Posts here
<?php endforeach; ?>

    but where does it go??

    Yes. It goes in a page template: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Page_Templates

    This is where your theme comes into play. You need to ask the theme devs at ThemeForest how to make a page template for your theme.
