Title: Posts inside pages Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Posts inside pages * [kapsis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kapsis/) * (@kapsis) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/) * I’m sorry to ask this kind of stupid-newbie question, I wrote an empty page on the pages section on WP, How do I write a new post and make it appear on that page?

Simple type some text into the content box on the edit page and assuming your have [The Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) in your `page.php` template, it will show up. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243422) * Are you asking how to include the content of a post into a Page made with WP? If yes, try this plugin: [http://guff.szub.net/get-a-post](http://guff.szub.net/get-a-post) * Thread Starter [kapsis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kapsis/) * (@kapsis) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243457) * What I’m trying to do is to write some text on the textbox so that it appears on the page I decide, in this case the one that’s called Testimonios “[http://web.aguaquieta.com.mx/?page_id=7”](http://web.aguaquieta.com.mx/?page_id=7”); which is a normal page I created in WP, right now they keep appearing on the main page “[http://web.aguaquieta.com.mx/”](http://web.aguaquieta.com.mx/”); * [chamaree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chamaree/) * (@chamaree) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243458) * Go to manage: edit posts : cut the text you wrote Go to manage: edit pages: page you want the text to be: paste the text 🙂 * Thread Starter [kapsis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kapsis/) * (@kapsis) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243460) * thanx 🙂 but I want to know if there’s an automatic option or a menu so that I decide to which page that post goes to… * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243461) * When you open your admin panel there is a tab _Write_. Underneath you can select: Post or Page. All posts go to your index (main) page. Pages are displayed on their own. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243462) * I think kapsis means if he has 3 different Pages, and he wants to add something to one of them, how does he tell the manage or write screen which page to add the text to. * And if that’s true, I don’t have the answer. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243466) * If you want to add text to the “Testimonios” – in admin panel > Manage > Pages > click Edit in the row where you can see the Testimonios… * Thread Starter [kapsis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kapsis/) * (@kapsis) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243481) * > I think kapsis means if he has 3 different Pages, and he wants to add something > to one of them, how does he tell the manage or write screen which page to add > the text to. > And if that’s true, I don’t have the answer. * That’s what I want to do, there must be a way of doing it without having much problems, a simple hack would do the trick but what’s that hack or special trick? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243495) * The “trick” is as I posted above – to open that Page (or post) and Edit. What could be simplier than that? * [kappesante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kappekappesantecom/) * (@kappekappesantecom) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243522) * i think i’m here looking fot the same thing. let me understand: you got a homepage, anda another page. you want to post an article but you want to decide WHERE the post will appear, only in home, only in other page, or both. i’m looking fot rhe same thing. maybe we have to write a new template page, but in the admin panel you just cant select witch page the post will be assigned. and editing all times the page, as some said, is crazy. example: i want do post pictures, a lot of pictures. but i want to post in a page called ‘pictures’, not only in home page. i could link to the search result url, but i have to set it only for a month, or a category. i’m looking for some (plug-in? dunno..) that let me decide in witch page the post will be posted. * [Kassad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kassad/) * (@kassad) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243532) * Recently, there is an increasing number of posts related to this problem. Sometimes, it is not easy to interpret the intent of the poster. * The original reason to introduce “Page” into WordPress was to have a “static” page that is out of the chronology. Chronology is a base concept of blogging. * It is simple. You write about your daily whatever and if you want something to stick, you write page that will not sroll out but stays. * But real life is another thing and there seems to be arise a spontaneous request to utitize this page thingy in a more flexible way. * There are several ways to trick the page to behave as your whim dictate it but it requires some tinkering and coding experience that many have not. Now, there are some questions. * Well, confining myself to the exact problem, it seems to me, that pages default to the “uncategorized”. * It would perhaps be a good thing to have the possibility to choose category for a page, as well. Then, you can play with including/excluding certain entries in posts and pages. * I hope, that I have interpreted the problem truly, myself 🙂 * [kappesante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kappekappesantecom/) * (@kappekappesantecom) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243534) * so.. your suggetion is to make an edited copy of homepage template, but excluding some categories that you dont want to listed. nice idea. how can i do that? how can i include or exclude categories? * doing this, i got an other page, url-static, that show some categoies. right? * [Kassad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kassad/) * (@kassad) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243536) * [Category for Page](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/40733) * In the above thread I described a procedure that might help you. * [kappesante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kappekappesantecom/) * (@kappekappesantecom) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-inside-pages/#post-243537) * uhm. seems not working to me. i have to exclude 4 categories, and include just 2.. now i go on with my tryouts, but for now no post are displayed..
