How to display one category in the top menu (along the pages)?

  • Or alternatively, how to list posts/previews on one specific page?

    I’m creating a website where I have some static pages linked in the top bar (Home, Experience etc.), with widgets/sidebar removed.

    Now I would like to add one “categorized page” for blogging. However when I create a category “Blog”, to assign individual posts to it, it is displayed only in the sidebar (and when I click on it, the page headline goes Category Archives: Blog, which is not appropriate). And when I create a page “Blog”, then I get the item in the top bar, but obviously I cannot summarize the posts there.

    I would like to have Blog link in the top bar, and after clicking on it, a collection of recent blog posts (headlines + annotation) would appear with “Blog” headline.

    Please advise.

    Thank you.

  • Perhaps you need to review creating a static front page?

    Alright, this was fixed via Settings / Reading / Static page / Posts page: Blog.

    Thank you.

    Only one visual thing remains – can the “Blog” category (or Posts page in general) name somehow be displayed/propagated as the headline at the top of the “overview” of all blog posts, just like there is a name of a page (which is listed in the top menu) written at the top of each page?

    When I click on Blog, now I have:
    Entry 1
    Entry 2 etc.

    What I would like to have is:
    BLOG
    Entry 1
    Entry 2 etc.

    with the headline in the same style as headlines on pages.

    Is that possible in an easy way? Thank you.

    To do that, you will probably need to start customising your theme’s index.php template file – ideally via a child theme.
