You need to give more details about precisely what you want to do.
I’ve read your post 3 times and it’s still unclear..
I’ll try to help if i can understand exactly what it is you want to do.. as much detail as possible though please.

im new here, understood sorry.
ive started this thread but im not sure if the answers would be the same.
what im attempting to do is have one main site pull/display content that is being added on other non-profit sites.
the main site would display one column of posts for events, another for news and the last for sports updates.
Since i cannot rely on the external rss feeds of the non-profits to aggregate the content i was thinking of making each non-profit a PAGE of the Main aggregation site. This was the non-profit would be able to maintain their own “profiles”
by maintaining i mean they update their individual news, sports and event posts on their individual pages.
I think i can code the page.php to call in 3 loops based on categories or events, sports and news.
Where im getting lost is the set up of the categories (do they need to be super specific so as not to confuse the user i.e. nonprofit1-events, nonprofit2-events and so forth), the feasibility of making these 3 loops on a single page, then calling up all this information on the main site aggregation page.
sorry if this is too long or confusing, i greatly appreciate the help!

oops here is the link to the other thread, they’re kind of asking different things, but relating to the same project
I’d say you need to make a clear decision about how you want to approach the problem/task…
Being unsure about how to approach is just going to have you staring at the screen wondering where to start…. (i know i would be)
Sit down, work it out on paper if you have to… or even jot down notes and ideas…
Implement each small idea and test it out, so how each one works, see what you like, what you don’t like…
Decide if you want to pull data from offsite, ie. feeds or not…
Seems to me (and i could be wrong by all means) you’re unsure which direction to take a looking for some input. In honesty i hav’nt tackled anything like that myself, so i can’t really say how i’d do it.
If you want to give each non-profit section it’s own interface for updating, then you’ll need to look at plugins, or some form or role management at the least i think…
Lots to consider, but i’d say you to make some clear decisions and just go with what you decide, you can always thrash it out and change stuff later, but having a clear direction will help get the ball rolling.
If you need help implementing ideas, by all means post what you’ve written and what you need help with…
very well put. ive just been hesitant o put in so much work then have it not work. but i guess ill never know until i begin. thanks for the input.
