Two blogs, shared categories

    I THINK I’ve read everything about multible blogs and one database. What I need to do is share categories and content between two blogs.

    I have one blog with 50 categories. I’d like to have a second blog use only three of those same categories, with the same content.

    Can this be done? Thanks!

    Why not use category RSS feeds?

    Thanks, Michael. It’s not that clear, but I can probably find the details. I’m new to blogging, but I’ve been doing websites since 1995, so I’m not used to being a dummy again. ??

    1. Find the category feed link for the blog you want to duplicate
    e.g. https://yourdomain.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=2
    2. Put that into an RSS widget on the blog where you want to display the feed.

    Thanks again, Michael. That’s precisely what is unclear! On which site to put the code. You’re good!!

    I get the following error. I know there’s a feed because I receive it daily!

    Error: could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL.

    Duh! I needed the wordpress subdirectory.

    But that places the feed inside the right sidebar, and I want it to look like a posting to the second site. Visitors’s should not see the first site at all.

    Sorry if I was unclear, but that’s what I meant by the second blog using only three categories from the first blog. This is a humor site with 50 categories. A few of those categories can support their own separate blog, which is what I’m trying to do.
