Must Be Simple — How Do I Post in a Page?

    Hello,

    I have what is probably a simpleton newbie question but I haven’t been able to figure it out and I’m hoping someone can help.

    My wordpress blog site is at https://www.BrentHunter.TV

    If you see the site, you’ll see that I have a few links at the top of the page. I understand these are called PAGES, at least that’s the name of the button I needed to push to create these on my site.

    On the very front page, I have a series of POSTS. What I want seems simple — I want to create a PAGE/tab at the top of the screen labeled BLOG, and have all posts be displayed in there as opposed to being displayed on the front page of my site.

    Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

  • Create a page called Blog, then use the static front page feature set via Administration > Settings > Reading.

    Hey Michael, it works like a charm now. Thanks again.

    I have another question though… right now my main page is also my “About” page. Do you know if there’s a way to hide the “About” tab that is on top of my site now?

    The template tag, wp_list_pages(), is typically used by theme designers to display Pages in a nav bar. With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your Pages (probably header.php), then look for wp_list_pages and use an exclude=x or include=x to limit the Pages displayed.

    Michael,

    I found this at the bottom of header.php, is this what I was supposed to be looking for?:

    wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order’);

    Where would I put in the exclude=About clause?

    FYI here is the overall section in that part of the code:

    <div id=”tabs”>
    <ul id=”page-list” class=”clearfix”><li <?php if(is_home()){ echo ‘class=”page_item current_page_item”‘; } else { echo ‘class=”page_item”‘; } ?>>” title=”Home” >Home
    <?php
    if($options[‘menu_type’] == ‘categories’) {
    wp_list_categories(‘title_li=0&orderby=name&show_count=0’);
    } else {
    wp_list_pages(‘title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order’);
    }
    ?>
    </div>
    <div id=”tabs3″>
    </div>

    Thanks,

    Brent
