How Do I Display A Specific Category of My Blog on a Separate Page?

  • Happy New Year Everyone!

    I wanted to know how I could display a category of my blog on a SEPARATE page that can be linked to on the navigation menu at the top of my site.

    I already have my home page set to display my blog as a default, and I do not want to change that. I just want to have a separate page with a tab on the navigation menu that links to a category. I only want this category to be displayed on this one page and NOT my main page. I only want a link to this categories page on the top navigation menu and NOT on the sidebar menu.

    I would really appreciate your help. As you can see from the current version of WordPress I’m using, I haven’t tinkered with the structure of the site in a while.

    My website for reference is https://www.theviablealternative.com

    Thanks!

  • The Page Links To plugin will let you assign a URL to a Page so that when you open the Page, it shows the URL. Just put in the URL for the category you want.

    Thanks, I have tried that and it works to some extempt. There’s a field in the dashboard under “pages” that lets you add the URL of the category. However, my issue is that when I do that and I try to add STATIC text to the page, so people can at least know what the page is about, nothing shows up. It only shows up when I add it to the archive.php file, but obviously since I intend to add other categories as pages down the line this won’t do because I want different static text for different pages. How do I add static text to a specific category page?

    Thanks!

    The only way I know to do this would be to create a custom template that displayed the text from the Page and used a secondary loop to display the category posts.

    How would I create that secondary loop?

    This Codex article might help.
