You can do this with categories. The instructions you found deal with installing multiple blogs using a single mysql database.
*waves hand*
These are not the instructions you are looking for.
What you will want to do is create the page and leave it blank. Add a custom field like category-include and then in your loop only grab posts from that category. This way you can manage it all from the same dashboard.
Wow, thanks for the heads up bleeber. After reading up a bit, I did as per your recommendation and it’s working. This is gonna be great. Thank you very much.
No problem. Glad I could help.
Follow-up question.
So I was able to create a page that lists only the blog posts from a specific category (Sightreading). I was also able to exclude that category from the main page. Confer my blog for reference. However, as you can see, there now is a duplicate Sightreading tab. This was created automatically once I created the Sightreading category. That tab actually contains only a link to the post filed under Sightreading (I want it to display the actual post)
How would I fix this…..I gather I must either delete the page I created and get the page the theme created to display the post directly, or turn off the setting that automatically adds a category to the menu.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Your theme is listing both pages and categories in your header. You will need to edit that part of your theme, most likely header.php, to not include categories.
I have article on my website about using custom post type using the feature to have a 2nd blog type page see if it work for you
I have used page.php in article you can use index.php file code to create template.
bleeber, thank you! after almost going down the path of modifying code in header.php, I mistakenly happened upon an options box for my theme (Vigilance) which allowed me to turn off categories being included in the header. Cheers!!
Of course, another follow-up. So I’ve done what I wanted to do with separating the blog posts thanks to you. The post under the sight-reading tab, however, does not have the post metadata. How would I include it?
From what I understand, the code for the post metadata is found in the single.php file. Would this same file control the metadata of the post that I have set up to show in my sightreading page?
