Thank you! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-add-a-blog-page-as-part-of-my-navigation#post-12947 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:06:10 +0000 James Morrison 12947@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>As you've setup the Blog link as a category (rather than using a custom page template) it looks for posts added to the "Blog" category.</p> <p>You can adjust the page in a couple of ways:</p> <p>1.) Change it to a Custom Page Template in a page called Blog. Basically, duplicate the index.php file, naming it <strong>template_blog.php</strong> and add this code to the very top:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>2.) Keep it as a category bearing in mind only posts added to the Blog category will show up here. You can also use a plugin such as WP No Category Base to remove the <strong>category</strong> part of the URL of adjust the category base under Permalink settings (WP Admin &gt; Settings &gt; Permalinks) to acheive this.</p> <p>Let me know if this needs further clarification.</p> <p>James </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-add-a-blog-page-as-part-of-my-navigation#post-12906 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:24:46 +0000 celialuna00 12906@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I made a copy of the index.php and it worked! Thank you! But now I have another issue. I want to start blogging but my posts are not appearing under my "blog page". How do I link those two together? My posts and my blog page. </p> <p>I also tried to add one of my categories as one of my navigation pages (appearance&gt;menu, like you told me), I'm able to see all of my posts BUT I get a headline saying "Archive for blog". </p> <p>Ideally I would like to keep the URL: <a href="http://celiasdesign.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://celiasdesign.com/blog</a><br /> instead of: <a href="http://celiasdesign.com/category/blogs" rel="nofollow">http://celiasdesign.com/category/blogs</a></p> <p>If it's not possible to keep the URL: <a href="http://celiasdesign.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://celiasdesign.com/blog</a> How do I get rid off the :Archive for blog"?</p> <p>I hope you understand me.</p> <p>Celia </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-add-a-blog-page-as-part-of-my-navigation#post-12873 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:12:01 +0000 Dude 12873@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> you have two possibilities:</p> <p>1) Just link to a category (Appearance &gt; Menu). Create a "category link" and name it "Blog". All posts of this category will be displayed on your "blog page" afterwards. </p> <p>2) Make a copy of index.php and rename the duplicate to template_blog.php. Then replace<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php get_header(); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>with:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?&gt; &lt;?php get_header(); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>At least go to your "Blog page" (page you link to in your main menu) click on "edit" and select the "Blog" template. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-add-a-blog-page-as-part-of-my-navigation#post-12860 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 05:02:59 +0000 celialuna00 12860@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I initially didn't want to include a blog on my website and I deleted all the dummy content, but I've changed my mind and I would like to use a blog page as part of my navigation but not on my main page. How can I add a blog page?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Celia </p>
