Need Suggestion for Category Merge with Page

  • I have an issue and hoping someone can help me think of a good way to fix it.

    1. I needed to set up a “hidden” page, basically a functioning url but one that isn’t listed on the site. If someone went to it then it would be there but you couldn’t get to it by clicking through on the site. I found a plugin that worked well and this is an example https://www.comeonletsgo.com/healing.

    2. I needed to set up a category for “healing” so I could put individual posts into this category. I did that and was able to get the video posts into the category page. https://comeonletsgo.com/posts/category/healing/

    Here’s the problem. I want to have the category page be the https://www.comeonletsgo.com/healing url since it has the post(s) on it. I can’t pull in posts from the “page” which is why I did it as category and I can’t make the category page the same url as the page url.

    I tried doing a redirect but that doesn’t work either because you would have to type in or click the category page to go to the page url.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Hi,

    1.
    You are mentioning a solution for this item. Do you need help with this one?
    If you create a page then it is not linked to anywhere in the site. So a user visiting your site would not know it is there. But the URL/slug will be there. You dont need a plugin for this.

    2.
    Doing a search on this one reveals a number of ways to do this including plugins such as

    May I ask why you would like to do 2?

    Hope this helps ??

    Wow, I think this worked! Awesome!

    I’ve read dozens of threads on here about people trying to put posts into custom pages, pulling categories into pages, etc, etc.

    This way by FAR seems the easiest. I’ve tried short codes, custom code, etc and couldn’t get to work.

    To recap for those of you looking to create categories, put posts in those categories then add those categories to pages this is it!

    1. create new page (example name it “apple”)
    2. create category (also name it “apple”)
    3. go to your posts and put them in “apple” category
    4. new page xyz.com/apple now displays your posts

    Glad it worked for ya ??

    Please mark as resolved if you think it is so.
