In reply to: Backing up all itemsMany thanks for that Swanson,
Does any one have any more detailed opinions or suggestions on this. I had looked through the Plugins list using backup as the search but as advised I’m a newbie to WP so not entirely sure what I am looking for i.e. am do I need to look for something that does a backup of articles, pages, widgits (is that possible?), database etc.
Basically I’m looking for something that will backup the whole site so copying it to a new folder will replicate it exactly. So maybe I mean transfer / move more than backup ?
Appreciate your help.
John
Is anyone able to confirm if this is normal behaviour ?
Many thanks !
John
Mine does the exact same…

In reply to: Multiple blogs on one siteHi Christi,
Many thanks for your reply.
I think you may be mis understanding what I am looking to do.
You say “you do not need to make a page into a category page’ but that’s what I DO want to do.
I appreciate that as soon as you create a new category and make a post within it, then the category list on the blog page updates. That is what I want to avoid.
So what I am looking for is….
When you click on the press release page you get all the articles within the press release category but you do NOT see any other articles.
When you click on the Blog page, you see articles within some (not all) categories inlcluding, reviews, sales promotions etc..
So rather than having one blog / article page, I want to be able to ‘force’ a filter rather than leave it to a menu for the end user to do.
Sorry for any confusion or frustation.

In reply to: Multiple blogs on one siteHow Christi,
Thanks for your reply.
I understand what you are saying but I don’t see where / how to make a page a particular category page ?
Sorry about this. I am used to Joomla which is probably confusing me on WP as I’m looking for similar features!.

Thanks for your reply!
How would I then stop the posts that are in the press release category from displaying on the ‘sales blog page’ and then stop the sales posts appearing in the ‘press release blog’.
So I guess the question now is, how do I make a page a category specific blog and filter out certain categories ?
I wasn’t aware of parent and child pages, so will search on that and read up on how that works.
Many thanks!

In reply to: [Link Shortcut] [Plugin: Link Shortcut] errors in Options and Add NewI’m having the same problem, so I’m assuming it’s not been sorted.
Did you find a work around to get it working or an alternative ?
