I’m not that familiar with wordpress (as you can probably see). Could you perhaps post the longer version of how to do what you said in your latest reply on your site? If it’s not too much work for you. I understand you’re probably busy with other things that don’t have to do with helping me! If not, I’m not really sure how to do anything you said above! (Like make the copy of the .php files, add the codes, or the call.) I’m so sorry though for asking so many questions! But you’re VERY helpful and I didn’t know who else to turn to! Thanks again!

Thank you for the info on the twitter link! I’ve got that working now ?? Currently working on the template, I’ll tell you how it goes when I finish!

i also have a “follow us on twitter” widget. it’s just from the twitter site (it’s not a wordpress plugin or anything) and it looks like a rectangle with the words “follow us on twitter” inside of it…when users click on it, it takes them to my twitter page. however, it doesn’t open the twitter page in a new window or tab, but quits my blog and takes me to the twitter page instead. how can i make this widget open in a new window or tab when a user clicks on it? thank you if you know anything that could help!

I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK!!!! I didn’t even know about the menu option before you mentioned it! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! Everything is working now! I really appreciate your help! but 1 more question, you said in your previous comment that i need to create a template…how do i do that? (so my page only says ‘https://mysite.com/fashion’)

i’m not sure what you mean by “fashion menu item” but i’m guessing you mean when i click on my fashion page. when i do click on that, the link says ‘https://www.mysite.com/fashion’ in the address bar (and the page doesn’t show my fashion post). should i possibly change the url 2 ‘https://www.mysite.com/category/fashion’ so it immediately takes me to the fashion category posts w/out the hassle??? or is there a different way? b/c i’d like the fashion page to JUST have the url of ‘https://www.mysite.com/fashion’, and not the ‘/category/fashion’ option.

so i did that. but then the post on fashion only appears when i click on the categories widget and choose fashion. i want the post to appear when people just go to the fashion page, and not have them have to choose from the categories widget…

I just cleared by browser’s cache and I am not using a caching plugin. I got to my fashion page just like any other viewer would. Went to https://www.mysite.com then just clicked on my fashion page. When I just click on my fashion page, the address bar says: ‘https://www.mysite.com/fashion’ and when I click on my fashion category, the address bar says: ‘https://www.mysite.com/category/fashion’.

Ok, so I did all the steps. However, the only thing that worked was excluding the post on fashion from the HOME page (but that’s still great for a start!). My ID number for the category was 9. my regular permalink for my fashion page was: ‘https://www.mysite.com/fashion’ so i put ‘https://www.mysite.com/fashion/?cat=9’ for the “Point to this URL” part. i published, but when i went to my fashion page, it was still blank ?? the post i put was only available when i clicked on my categories widget and chose the fashion category. is there something wrong with the URL i used? is it possible that i have the post appear by just clicking on the fashion page, and not having to click on the fashion category to get to the posts?
thank you again so so so much! i really appreciate all of your help!

vtxyzzy, i found your option easier to use for my site. i have the 3.2.1 version of wordpress (the latest) and my theme is called “twenty ten 1.2”. i have downloaded both plugins, could you walk me through the steps of how to get to the final outcome of what i want? thank you!

thank you so much govpatel and vtxyzzy! i’ll try both of your options and tell you if they work 4 my site. thank you again!

The second option is correct. I do not want the posts on my FASHION page to also be on my HOME page. Do you know about the “different approach” you talked about??? Thank you!!!

Sorry for the confusion. Let me restate what I tried to ask. lol. I know that on my wordpress home page, I can post multiple times and multiple things. However, if I create another page (like FASHION), I can only post once and only edit that single post. I was wondering if there is a plugin that could help me make my FASHION page just like my home page????
Thank you!
