  • How can I move old posts to a new page. Example, I run a blog that lists sales and special deals. However, when these deals expire, I want to easily move them to be displayed on another page in my blog. How can I do this without having to copy and paste the post as a new post on that page?

    Please someone help! I can’t figure this out and it is very tiresome copy and pasting old posts to a new page. Please, Please, Please?????

    You have to be more specific than that (instead of annoying bumps!)

    What is that “page” you are talking about? A Page? We don’t know how to display posts on a Page. (Pages are not for that…)

    You could assign a different category to the expired posts.

    Then make a page template that only loads posts from that particular category. Or simply use the yourblog.com/category/expired page.

    If you don’t want those posts to stay in the main blog, use query_posts

    something like:

    query_posts("cat=-3") // 3 being the ID of the category you want to exclude

    Hope that helps

    Then make a page template that only loads posts from that particular category

    Never listen to anybody that tells you to display posts on Pages 🙂
    Wrong!

    I suggested the category option but hey, if the guy asks for a page… why not! 😉
