Categories in navigation bar

    Hello, I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it so you can click posts in the navigation bar and see all the posts (yes this part works). But i also would like it so when someone clicks music in the navigation bar they will only see posts related to music.

    At first I searched how to have two posts pages but have realized WordPress just won’t work like that. Everyone says to just use a category. So my question is, since i cant have two separate posts pages (one for everything, and one for music) can I just simply add the Music category to my navigation bar? I love this theme and if I could get this to worked id be overwhelmed with joy.

    Also, for some reason when I share something from my website on Google plus. The number will go up on my website from 0 to 1 but when i refresh it resets back to 0.

    Thank you for your time and I appreciate any help I can get.

    Hi!

    Yes you can add category page links, see an example of a category page here.

    In Appearance > Menus, on the left side at the bottom you will see “Categories”. Click on it and it will expand a menu from where you can add your category links to the menus. You do not need to create a page for it, as WordPress automatically creates category archives.

    As for the Google Plus button, most likely it is because your server does not have urlCurl (cURL) enabled, or it may run with safe_mode on. Ask your webhost and see if they can fix it. The requirements are: cURL enabled, safe_mode off.

    Alex!

    Thank you very much. I really appreciate that fact that you take the time to answer not only my questions but everyone else’s as well. I was able to get the music category on there just like I wanted, thanks to you. Once again I am very satisfied.

    I will look into the Google Plus button soon.

    thank you for your reply.

    Hello

    I checked and Curl is enabled in PHP and Apache. And safe mode is set to off. Could it be something else possibly?

    Not Found

    The requested URL /sharrre.php was not found on this server.

    That is the error I got.
    Also, i tried using pintrest and when hitting the pin it button i receive this error

    Parameter ‘source_url’ (value /website/?p=128) is not a valid URL format.

    Does this mean something is wrong with my general wordpress settings?

    It looks like the file that the link was intended to reach was not correct. Do you have WordPress installed in subdirectory on the server?

    Make sure this part of the link is correct so that it reaches the theme file (theme name, folder dir etc):

    ___.com/SUBDIR HERE?/wp-content/themes/hueman/js/

    I went into settings> General and changed the website and wordpress URL from just /website/ to my full address. That seems to have solved the issue. Thank for all your replies alex. They are greatly appreciated. 🙂
