Hi, I've got a blog which has a few seperate pages to it. What I want is to have certain blog posts not only displayed on the front page of the blog, but also to be displayed on another page of the blog. At the moment I've added the post to the other page, and so the post is not currently being displayed on the main page of the blog. Any idea how I can change this? Hope my questions make sense. Thanks for any help
Hmm. I'm kind of confused on what you're trying to accomplish here. What kind of page do you want the post to show on?
Say I write a post as normal and publish it to my blog - I also want this post to be displayed on another page of the blog (the other pages are labelled at the top of the blog). My blog is at http://www.footyblog.net hopefully it will make more sense if you visit it... Thanks
I have a Wordpress blog and I've wondered the same thing. It has to be something simple, but I didn't even know how to ask the question. Looking forward to the responses!
Thats not really what I want to do - I want the blog to function as normal, but I also want certain posts to appear on an additional "static" page of the blog. So if you look at http://footyblog.net/ you can see that at the top there is a Football Lookalikes page - which is accessible here http://footyblog.net/about/ I would want some of my "lookalike" posts that I display on the main section of the blog also to be carried accross to the lookalikes page - anyone have any idea if this is possible? Thanks
You have to do a simple thing - add the post at the page menu. to do this you need to edit the header.php.
Are your trying to create a sticky post which will appear in all the page of your WordPress blog? If that's the case, then you may want to install a plugin called WP-Sticky. Find it in the Extend | Plugins section of WordPress.org, or juct click here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-sticky/
Thanks for trying to help but I don't think people understand what I'm trying to do. I have added a page to my blog called Football Lookalikes. I want some of my posts from my main blog to be copied across to the Football Lookalikes page. Surely this is possible?
You may need to use IFrame then. Here's a good tutorial on how to do so. http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/frames/inlineframes.html
Yes, I admit I don't quite understand what you want to achieve. You keep mentioning that you want some of your posts/pages appear in some of your other posts/pages in your blog, so IFRAME is the simplest choice. Otherwise, you'll need to get your hands wet with PHP and do some programming with it. This is as far as I can help you. Good luck with solving your problem.
Okay thanks for trying to help, I'll have a look at that again. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a page which would be a category - and then when I make posts on the blog I would simply tick the Football Lookalikes category, and so the post would be copied across to this cateogory's own page... does that sound possible?
If I understand, you want posts from a category to be shown on a different page other than the the index.php or main page. Yes you can do this but you need to know what code to put on a custom page template. I couldn't possible explian all the exact details but this should get you started in the right direction to search for what you need to do: First you will need to create a custom page template for this page. If you edit the only page template you have then those posts will be shown on all pages. After you create the custom page template, edit the page you want the posts to show on and choose the new custom page template, the Page Template option is near the bottom of the write/edit page screen. When creating the custom page template you will need to basically call for the blog loop in it but specify only a certain category to show. To do this look at the index.php file for clues as to where to put this code and then check out the WP codex for the proper code to use, this should get you started here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#Introduction
