I did eventually get this fixed, but by going to the IT guy. 🙂 It had something to do with categories, but I am not sure how it was done.
Thank you. I will see if I can make any sense of this, but we are having our site rebuilt in the near future, so maybe I will just wait and have them do this with our developers when they implement the new creative, rather than try and mess things up myself.
I don’t know how else to explain it. I have one blog page. I want the illusion of two, just with only one category of posts listed on one blog page, and the other category of posts listed in the other so it gives the illusion of two blogs.
This is the site, not sure how it will help: http://www.outsell.com/site/
Insights is where the blog page is.
I will try to explain as I understand it.
Okay…my blog PAGE (the page the blog sits on) has several ENTRIES/POSTS on it that link to their own PAGES with only that ENTRY/POST displayed, that’s what you’re saying, and I get that.
I only want certain ENTRIES to show up on the main blog PAGE, and other ENTRIES to show up on another blog PAGE, that would otherwise be identical to the main blog. I have split all of my ENTRIES into two CATEGORIES. Since the main blog itself is a PAGE, it has a ‘page_blog.php’ thing that I can enter the code on to tell the main blog PAGE to only include ENTRIES fitting a certain CATEGORY. If I make another blog PAGE, will that provide me with another ‘page_blog.php’ like thing where I can enter that same code telling it to only display the other CATEGORY.
So in the end I would have two PAGES listed as blogs, one would show only ENTRIES from one CATEGORY and the other would only show ENTRIES from another category. Within both blog main pages they would still link normally to their respective entry pages, I just want it split.
Does that make any sense?
I’m going to try this out, and have the categories set, but I need to change that code in the page_blog.php correct? I can see where it is in that code to make the change, but what about when I create the mirror blog, another page with the blog on it? Will another php page create itself for me to give it different instructions? How do I tell one page one thing and another something else so that the two blog pages display the two different categories?
Thank you!
So I CAN tell the blog to NOT show certain categories? That was my question. If I can have the blog page, and then a mirror of the blog page, and just tell both to only display certain categories, that solves the problem. Thank you!
This code is a little less invasive, so I think I can work with that.
I just need to know where to put the code. Not sure what you mean by “before the loop”? And where do I find the category ID #s?
Exactly what I said, I know I can’t have two separate blogs, I can however have as many mirrored pages of that same blog, I just don’t want that.
The other suggestion is exactly what I was asking for though, the ability to display the blog posts from my blog in two separate areas. I could just do that twice for my two different categories, have those pages display in the header and then not have my actual blog display and it would work the way I want, I think.
The problem is I don’t trust myself to touch any code, so this will have to be tabled anyway. Thanks!
You cannot have 2 main post (Blog) pages in a single install.
But I can, that’s what’s confusing me. If I couldn’t then I wouldn’t be able to even create a second page with ‘Blog Page’ as the template.
What I am hearing then is no. I can have two identical blogs that force people to click the category they want to get to the correct blog, but I can’t have what I want.
So…it would work if I had a place to put those categories to click, because then it would route them correctly, but if I have both blogs listed in my header to click they would both first go to a page showing all posts.
If only there was a way to have the categories BE in the header with the links for the other pages, as if the categories were pages, then it would work the way I want.
See that is the response people kept giving on other posts like this, and it just doesn’t make sense to me.
I always assign blog posts to categories, and I understand that you are saying to create specific categories that would refer to the two different blogs.
But right now all of the entries still show up on the one blog page I have, right, they only filter if you click a category after you have already entered the blog page and seen all of them listed. How would I use category to keep all of the posts from showing up automatically on both pages? Is there a step I’m missing, somewhere to tell the entries to not show up? I just don’t get it.

In reply to: Title Change Not Displaying on Home PageThank you! That did it. I was not aware of where to locate any other title settings, but that’s where it was.

In reply to: Title Change Not Displaying on Home PageThere is ‘All in One SEO’.
The title on the Home page just won’t change, even though it has changed if you click any other tabs.

In reply to: Title Change Not Displaying on Home PageNo, it’s not missing the > I just forget to highlight it.
But the theme also has a separate custom header with this code including ‘title’ info:
[please mark your code using the ‘code’ button]
function header_style() { ?> <style type="text/css"> #header { background: url(<?php header_image(); ?>) top center repeat-x; } <?php if ( 'blank' === get_theme_mod( 'header_textcolor', HEADER_TEXTCOLOR ) ) : ?> #header #title { display: none; } <?php else : ?> #header #title a { color: #<?php header_textcolor() ?>; width: <?php echo HEADER_LINK_WIDTH; ?>px; } <?php endif; ?> </style>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Title Change Not Displaying on Home PageI see this in the header:
<!--The Title--> <title><?php wp_title(''); ?><?php if(wp_title('', false)) { echo ' :: '; } ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></titleForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Title Change Not Displaying on Home PageIt’s all just code, not the title itself anywhere. Would I be looking for some specific code that would cause this?
