    I want to post on pages made in WP, and I want the post to be archived just like the post on the main page. How can I do this?

    Thanks, green rep to good answers :)

    I think you can't do that
    you can only make 1 post on a page.

    I want to make many pages and make posts on the different pages. When each page has 10 posts the oldest post should be archived.

    I think its similar to posting in a category.
    Create a category and you get various posts on each category page. :D

    Lol. Its not a bloggish thing to do firstly. Why? Cause blogging is mainly based on dynamic posts and them binding categories. But, you can check out my site in the signature. In there is a page called the 'archives', if thats what you want then you should get yourself Archives on Pages plugin. :) Cheers.

    A possibility would be to create a custom page template for each page, and code it to show only posts from certain categories (or only one). To make it easy to keep track of, name the custom page templates the same as the post category. Then when posting make sure to use the correct category to show on the page of your choice.

    From the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    
     <!-- If the post is in the category we want to exclude, we simply pass to the next post. -->
     <?php if (in_category('3')) continue; ?>
    Code (markup):

    I have seen a plugin somewhere with which you can post on pages and get them archived.
    Its very well present in the blogosphere, just filter it thoroughly.
