Good evening, everyone.
We hope your Saturday is going well.
Tonia and I have run into a perplexing issue. We are trying to add specifically categorized posts to a
We decided to trash the category that we had in the menu, then re-added it. It seems to be working perfectly now.
Thank you for your advice.

Hi Dave and Tonia, I am not sure if I get your problem right but here is what I think:
First of all a page and a post are not the same. When you add a page with the same name as your category, you will not see your categorized post on this page. What you want to do is this:
Go to appearance and click on menu. There you have the option to add pages, posts, custom links and categories to your menu. So first add a category to one of your posts (I assume you already created a post and this particular category).
Now click on the category tab, select the category, and click add to menu. Then save the menu.
Now each post that you write that has this category (added in the post editor) is automatically found under this menu tab.
Hope that answers your question

Thank you, Rene.
I think you do understand the issue.
We will give what you suggest a shot, however I must tell you that the page and category that does in fact work, both have the same name,,, 'Products Blog'.
So, we followed suit, and the second page we tried this with, does not.
We will give your suggestion a try, though.
Thank you...

How are posts added to a specific page?
Good evening, everyone.

I simply use category as a page to get this working for me.
For example, I have blog posts and I have podcasts episodes on my blog and I don't want both to go to "BLOG" page. So I use categories for it.
Thank you for your answer, Alex.
As , we have been kicking around the idea of podcasts down the road, this is food for thought and we'll keep this in mind.

A few days back Tonia and I decided to change our front (Home) page from a blog roll to static.
It all seemed to work correctly but, noe we find although our comments ar
Yes, it was, Alex.
Right on the money.
Yet another example of people helping people.
I have been part of several online 'communities', if you will but, I have never encountered more encouragement, more consistent positive energy than here at Wealthy Affiliate.
Good day to you David. I think I may now how to help you. A similar problem I had I was able to fix by adjusting how WordPress places where my articles were located and managed.
When I originally started my site, I had a certain layout and menu. Each page and posts were found according to my original menu. Later I decided to add a couple of new menu items and moved a few things around. Low and behold when I looked at my site "live" these posts and pages that I moved weren't there! Where did they go? They were in my dashboard okay, but not viewable on my site.
Further investigation revealed the error. For example:
My original post, "2015 Tax Deductions List of Essentials" I had under my "Money". I moved it to be found under my "blog". But when I viewed my site, It was not there. To fix my error I had to change the Permalink of the post, from: http://livesimpletolivefree.com/money/2015-tax-deducti…st-of-essentials to http://livesimpletolivefree.com/2015-tax-deducti...st-of-essentials. Can you see the difference in the two? The permalink is where the post is located, so, if you moved it to another location with changing the "address" where it once was, it is essentially not there.
This may be your issue and an easy fix.
I hope this helps.
Ken
Thank you VERY much, Ken!
You were right on the money with this.
I changed the permalink structure to reflect our individual posts and, voila'!
Presto, changeo!
We're back in business!
Thanks, again!

How would I go about notifying the WA community as a whole of any Blog posts or training which I create?
There isn't a way to notify everyone personally (which is awesome). However she you post new blogs it will be visible to everyone in the public feed. I think (but not 100% sure) that people who follow you will get a notification about it. People who you referred to WA will get notified by email by default (unless they change their settings).
Thank you very much for your reply, Alex.
As both you and Shawn explain, it certainly makes it easier that the WA software accomplishes those tasks automatically.
Totally. I've been here since 2007 and let me tell you, Kyle and Carson make amazing improvements to the platform all the time :)
This is done through WA. Anything you create here will go out through the activity dashboard and also in email to people that follow you as long as they have that preference chosen in their email settings
