Keeping 'blog' posts separate

    All,

    Firstly, thanks for reading and looking to help.

    I have a website I’m building for a friend, and being new to this game and learning as I go I’ve stumbled across what is undoubtedly a really easy thing to overcome.

    My problem:
    Said website has two team-mates. They both want a blog within the site. In the top menu/nav-bar I have, amongst things like, ‘Meet the team’, ‘our sponsors’, etc “BLOG 1” and “BLOG 2”.

    Each time we try to post in “BLOG 2” the post ends up in “BLOG 1”.

    Should I be doing something with the categories or format?

    A million thanks in advance,

    Buzz.

  • you should separate your posts.

    for example, create two categories : blog 1 and blog 2. Then create one custom query that will show posts for blog 1. and another for blog 2.

    Hmmm, thanks tasko but I wouldn’t know where to begin when it comes to such a custom query. Any pointers please?

    Oh, I’ve had two categories set up for sometime but it seems to matter not; even with ‘blog 2’ selected as the category for the post, the new material always sits itself in ‘blog 1’.

    Thoughts please?

    There’s an easy way to do it without any programming.

    Do as suggested above, and set up two top-level categories as ‘User 1’ and ‘User 2″ (or whatever you want to call them to make sure that they are separeate). Each category will display in it’s own page, you can add this to your menu by choosing that category from the list in the menus area. You can also see what the page looks like by clicking on the ‘View’ link when you look at the list of categories in your admin area.

    separate your posts to categories
