    I am running a couple of separate blogs out of one installation (I can’t do multisite).

    So all posts for all blogs go into a single page of post digests with a Read more button on each.

    That’s OK, I can deal with that my assigning categories (one for each blog) and subcategories (topics within each blog) to each post and then use a sidebar widget to allow users to select a blog and topic.

    That’s all good except my “Welcome’ post for each sub-blog gets pushed down the page and there seems to be no way of making it sticky (I have set the post as sticky but it doesn’t stick it to the top of the posts list when you select a category.)

    That’s also OK, I thought, I can get round that by creating a main page for each blog so that it has a menu item and landing page. I will put my welcome text there. Users can then use the category menu in the sidebar to select the topical posts.

    That’s when I hit a problem. If a user selects the blog page on the main menu, then selects the first item in the category to reveal the first post digest, the correct digest appears but when you press the “Read More” button the main page is displayed NOT the post.

    To replicate this:

    1. Go to https://barrettnas2.synology.me/wordpress/
    2. Select “Angus’s Blog” from main menu
    3. In Left sidebar “BLOG CONTENTS” select “Angusology” then the subcategory “‘Allo”
    4. The correct post digest appears followed by a “Read More” button
    5. Press the button
    6. Instead of expanding that post, the system displays the “Angus’s Blog’ page.

    I am using the Read More theme.

    What am I doing wrong please?

  • Hi Paul,

    I’ve just tried this and it works fine for me (Windows 10, Chrome) ??

    Hi Mark

    Well that’s kind of reassuring but at the same time weird, because that’s the same browser and OS I use, and I get the same effect on all my PC’s.

    Hmmmm….

    Anyone else………?

    Hi Paul,

    Sorry, I may have been mistaken. I’ve just checked again Firefox and Chrome and, yes, it does just go to Angus’s Blog ?? Sorry.

    One thought though – I notice the link begins with an apostrophe. I wonder if that could be confusing the link? Also, the category seems to be called “hello”.

    I would try standarding on one version without an apostrophe and see if that helps.

    Just a thought.

    Good luck

    Mark

    Also, try making the post name different to the category name.
