Display Blog on Two Pages (different categories)

It depends on how your menus are created in your theme. If your theme uses the WP 3.0 menu system, simply assign two menu items, one to each category.

If it is not using the 3.0 menu system, but displays pages on the menu, create two pages and assign each one to its category using the Page Links To plugin.

we are currently using the theme Twenty Ten 1.1 (by Word Press) — we are not tied to this theme however… how do i find out if it is using the WP 3.0 menu system?

TwentyTen does support the menu system, and it also lists pages, so you can use either method.

thank you…

the menu system does a great job of filtering the items on the page, but the recent items and the forward and back are not also filtered… is there a way to do that as well?

Not without some coding – maybe quite a bit.

The recent items are from a widget. You would need to find the widget code, make a copy of it, modify it to detect and use the category, and add code to register the new version.

I am a little unsure about the ‘forward and back’. I thought that they would remain in category unless you have multiple categories per post. If that is the case, this too will require some coding.

we have elected to simply turn those items off … not sure we have skills/time to write the required code…
