Is it possible to make a post and have it get sent to your "catagories" without it being posted on the Front Page? So, is it possible to have a post, get posted but not show up on the main page? I can't seem to see how to do this?
Click on Settings/Reading and make the front page a static page. You'll need to create the page first before you can select it.
So I need a page? I just can't post into "catagories" ? like cat=3 ? Also I don't want it to always post this way, just sometimes.
It's easier with a static homepage. If you want certain posts to show up you could use the WP "Sticky", just select it when making a post (one of the edit buttons above Publish or Update). But you'll need to deselect the older ones. Saying that it's Wordpress there's probably a plugin for it. As for putting them into the catergories just select which category when making a post, it's somewhere on the right if you scroll down a bit. Also if you go to Settings/Permalinks and pates into the Custom field: /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postname%/ The catergories are more SEO friendly.
So I have three catagories, let's call them A, B, and C. I use these catagories as pages as well. So when I make a post, it goes to one of them. So what I have is my Front Page, then catagories (pages) A, B, C. I directly link the pages as a catagory, like cat=1, cat=2, cat=3. Anyways, I want to be able to make a posting with it going to catagory (page) A, and NOT have it appear on the Front Page. But then make another posting and have it appear on my Front Page, and on catagory B. I already tag each posting as a catagory (either A, B, C). I just sometimes don't want it to appear on the Front Page. What does WP sticky do?
The problem is when I select my post to go into a catagory, it also goes right to the Front Page. Well there are times I don't want it to go to the Front Page. How can I have that ONE (or multiple other times) post won't appear on the Front Page and just in the catagories?
Like I said there's probably a plugin for that, but can you postdate the post (edit button above publish). If you go to Settings/Reading the default is to show 10 posts on the page, just postdate it so it's 11th. If you're worried about the pinging you can use pingler.com
You can do this by creating a hidden category named Featured. Then for posts you want to show on front page, put them in Featured category. In the index.php file, use query_posts to show only post in the Featured category, like this: query_posts('cat=4'); PHP: where 4 is the Featured ID. You might check the Codex for full information about this function. It's powerful, and can help you.
