2 blogs with different categories

Hi,

In my blog I have two different categories for two different blog pages: blog and deals. I have found out that in December there must have been some update and all my system collapsed.

Today I was redoing it, I created an additional page template, change the category and… it does not work.

The only thing I had to change before was as follows:

if(!empty($optimizer[‘blog_cat_id’])){
$blogcat = $optimizer[‘blog_cat_id’];
$blogcats =implode(‘,’, $blogcat);
}else{$blogcats = ”;}
$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘cat’ => ”.$deals.”,

And I would change in the other page template as well.

Any idea how can I fix this??? It is very important for me, please explain with easy words, I am no IT.

Thanks

@howevatravels You should not edit template files.

You can display posts in a certain category by simply just adding the categories to your menu. Just go to Appearance > Menus and add the categories you would like to display to your menu from the “Categories” box on left.

Did you ever manage to find a way to do this?

The layout for category layout is quite different, so I can’t use this method.

I’m using Optimizer.

Thanks

Possibly, this may help someone else??

I created two categories: myCatOne and myCatTwo, these categories were then applied to the relevant posts.

Then I duplicated the template for the blog ‘page-blog_template’ and added the following code.
```


  <?php  

       $args = array(
	'category'         => 'myCatOne',
	'category_name'    => 'myCatOne',
	'exclude'          => 'myCatTwo',
                     'post_type' => 'post',
                     'posts_per_page' => '');
      $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   ?>

    <div class="lay4">
        <div class="center">

            <div class="lay4_wrap<?php if ( !is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ) { ?> no_sidebar<?php } ?>">
                <div class="lay4_inner">

                      <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
                      <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> 

                
```
In the original template, use the same code, but swap over the ‘myCatOne’ and ‘myCatTwo’ values
