   Hello,

   I'm quite new with wordpress, so my question may seem dumb, but I couldn't figure it out by my own:

   I bought the Corona theme and wanted to make a site with architectural news and software tutorials. The blog is perfect for both, but i dont want to mix these things, so I would like to have two blogs. In comparison with the demo template it should look like this:

   Home | News (as blog) | Tutorials (another blog) | Portfolio (for my own work) | contact

   I found something in this forum, talking about dublicating the template_blog.php an changing some things, but I couldn't find the given lines in my php file. Is there any other way to do this? And how can I select if a new post is shown in the news only, or in the tutorials section only? Thanks in advance!!

   Hey!

   The easiest way to do this is not to use the default blog at all since it uses all categories of your site.
   I would recommend to instead create dynamic templates for this task.

   First create two pages, for example "News" and "Tutorials"

   next step is to create dynamic templates for those pages. In wour wordpress backend at corona->template builder create 2 new templates, name them News and Tutorials as well. Now you first select the sidebar alignment of the pages than you add a Blog element. Choose the categories that should be displayed on this blog. Once you have set up both dynamic templates save them and head back to your "News" Page. When editing the page, in the sidebar you will notice a page layout option. select the dynamic template: News. then save the page. to the same for Tutorials and you are done.

   VIdeo #5 here shows how to create dynamic templates and apply them, in case you have troubles with the description above:

   Hello,

   thank you for your fast reply. Unfortunately I am facing a problem: whenever I try to add any element, be it a blog or any other element from the template builder, only the following error text is shown:

   "Something went wrong, please try again in a few seconds.The script returned the following error"

   I couldn't handle the problem by now :(

   Мм....

   This is either a Hosting-related issue.

   Or, if you have the empty blog, i would suggest just to re-instal Wordpress\Corona theme.

   But, as for me, - i`d never experience such prblem (got over 15+ "Dinamic Templates" running on my blog.

   I already tried to reinstall, but it didn't help. Do I need to enter my ftp data first? Or deos the template builder not acces my ftp space?

   Hi!

   No ftp data is required because the template data is stored in the database and not as hardcoded file.

   Best regards,

   Thanks for your reply (even on sunday, wow!)

   I managed to solve the problem, changed from a free webhost to godaddy, everything works fine now. It really seemd to be the webhost (it was http://www.funpic.de).
