Title: Converting static to post Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Converting static to post * [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/) * Ok this is my site TheConcertCruier.com and I am trying to post my interview in my Interviews from the pit section but they appear in the Update section. Someone said the Interview page was a static page so how do I turn it from a static page to a page where I can make posts and not loose the previous post?

You should be posting to that so that you won’t lose your previous posts. If you want some other URL for your posts, you can reset it.

Anyway, how do I get multiple post pages? * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818152) * Why do you need multiple post pages? You can successfully assign categories and link to them through a custom menu or other links. * Thread Starter [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818153) * Im very new to this, I have no idea what im doing. I don’t even know the terminology for any of this. What I am trying to do is have sections on my site for various types of videos. One for interviews and one for Reviews and when I make a post I dont want to loose the previous post either. So I could really use some guidance even if it means starting from scratch again. * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818154) * Just keep on posting and use the categories such as _videos_ and _reviews_. That will solve your problem. * Thread Starter [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818155) * And how do I set this up? * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818156) * Can you link to one of your posts? * Thread Starter [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818157) * [http://theconcertcruizer.com/blog/](http://theconcertcruizer.com/blog/) See this was suppose to go into my interviews section but it just ended up in Blog plus my previous is no longer there. * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818158) * You have just one post there. The category is `uncategorized`. Go to posts and edit it to change uncategorized to `interviews`. Similarly, add a new test post( just a few words now) and create a new category like `reviews`. * Thread Starter [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818180) * Ok but do I put down for a slug and what does “Parent” mean? And sorry for not getting back to you. I just got back from Canada. * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818181) * Parent means the main category under which subcategories (child) can be assigned. If you want just two or three main categories under which all your posts should appear, you don’t need child categories. * Thread Starter [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818182) * But what about the slug? What should I put down? * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818183) * If your category is _Interviews_, its slug is _interviews_. * Thread Starter [ConcertCruizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/concertcruizer/) * (@concertcruizer) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818184) * Ok I did it but on the dashboard it still says Uncatagorized. I cant even delete it. * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-static-to-post/#post-3818188) * Please check if your site loads properly.
