   I am currently developing a website using wordpress, and was hoping to be able to display posts onto two pages: news and articles.

   I am having difficulty figuring out how to accomplish this.
   On the settings>reading, I changed it so that posts will be posted onto the 'Articles' page, and it worked fine, but I also want certain posts on the other page.

   Is there another way of going about this?

   Thank you for your help. I hope I supplied enough info. :)

   My other topic was closed, but it was not the same question.
   Here is my other question:

   " I am currently developing a website that contains articles, and articles within those articles.
   I was planning to create a Page named Articles, and have the articles set up as posts. Are sub-posts possible? Is there a hack or widget that I would need to install? I would really like to get this issue resolved soon. :)

   Thank you. "

   Sub-posts aren't possible but sub-categories are if you're going down the posts route. If you opt for Pages, you can create sub (child) pages.

   On the settings>reading, I changed it so that posts will be posted onto the 'Articles' page, and it worked fine, but I also want certain posts on the other page.

   You can use query_posts to exclude/include on any posts page.

   So, I have to create my own theme to be able to put certain posts on certain pages?
   Or are themes and templates different?

   [ sorry for triple posting. ]

   Here is what my index.php looks like.
   I want to exclude categories 1,3,5,and 7.

   <?php
   /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */
   
   /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   
   /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>
   
   <?php
      if (is_home()) {
         query_posts("cat=-1,-3,-5,-7");
      }
   ?>

   Is this right?

   Thanks for any help.

   Yes. Or modify an existing theme - which might be a lot less work.

   It looks OK.
