How do I publish some posts on a page other than my homepage

  • Until now I’ve published all of my posts to my homepage. They’ve all been longer format articles, 800-1500 words or so, and I do about 2 a week. Now I’m interested in adding a separate page for short updates and links that you access from the menu. When I’m making a new post, probably in the ‘aside’ or ‘link’ format, how can I make it skip my homepage and only post to this new page?

  • iv always had this question but i still dont really know if you can do that… i know on other blogging websites (that i will not mention since its inappropriate) that you can create Tagged pages (redirect) and whenever you make a post and add a certain tag to that post that it will appear on the page with the tag as it name. e.g

    on that site if you make a page with the name “sports” then when ever you make a new post and it has the tag “sports” then the post will appear both on your homepage and in that page called “Sports”.

    i have no idea if wordpress has this function, so how i do it is just write all the stuff on the page i want and edit it each time i have to update…

    To omit these posts from the main posts page, you would need to amend the standard query in the theme’s index.php template file. See:

    In the last link, checkout out the Taxonomy Parameters.

    To list these posts, you’d need a “reverse” custom query within a custom page template.

    Wow, thanks esmi! That is extremely thorough. Because I’m a little new to this world it might take me a couple days to understand all this though. I don’t suppose there’s a version of layman’s speak to explain to the uninitiated like me basically what I have to do?
    my blog, by the way:

    The two links I posted above do include copy’n’paste examples that should only need a little tweaking to work. There’s also an example a page of posts based on the Twenty Eleven theme that you could have a look at.
