    Your question doesn't say much. Please be more specific. If you want it to display only content from a specific category, then create a template file in which only that category is being displayed and use that template as your homepage.

    Do you mean how to add categories to the sidebar and assign articles under a category? If so, then you can go to the Post Editor, look to the right sidebar, there should be a category box there. If there is none, then click on the Sreen Options drop–down menu on top of the Wordpress Dashboard and make sure the Category box is ticked. Get back to the Post Editor and you will see a Category box on the right sidebar. You can add categories there as well as tick the category the current article you are writing will be added.

    The categories can be displayed usually through a widget. This would depend on the theme you are using and how it displays categories. Check your theme's settings.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    create index.php and get the content that you want to display. Category pages are different. This will make your home page according to your requirement.

    Hi,
    If you are using wordpress as a CMS then you can check in settings-reading which page is set as home page.

    After that you can go to pages and edit that particular page.


    If you are using wordpress as a blog then you can use a plugin like sticky post which allows you to make a page sticky i.e stay on home page.
