    Hi All,

    I tried looking in the forum, but found no solution to my problem.

    I am in the midst of setting up a corporate blog for my organization. The blog will be hosted internally, and lets say that the domain is https://www.xyzblog.com.

    Now, what i want to do is to :
    1> have a static front page. This i know how to do.
    2> I want to have sections specific to topics such as Telecom, or Databases etc, such that they are located at https://www.xyzblog.com/telecom etc…
    A reader can go to https://www.xyzblog.com/telecom , read all the posts there, comment, etc…

    I read somewhere that i could acomplish thisby having multiple installations of WP in the root, but here is annother problem. If i have multiple installs of WP, then i would have multiple logins also. I want a single admin login for all the different blogs (lets say 4 different blogs to begin with).Now i am not sure if this possible in the first place, but if it is, i would appreciate if someone would please guide me.

    3> Is it possible to have a single dashboard for all the different blogs, so that comment moderation, plug in management is easier?

    I plan to have links to the different blogs (say, https://www.xyzblog/telecom) from the the main blog page (www.xyzblog.com).

    I would greatly appreciate is someone could help me out with this.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Set up different categories for your pages. Maybe there is more sub pages inside your telecom, you can setup a telecome categories and place some sub-categories inside telecom. Place your post within telecom, and then they will show up in telecom page (categories).

    I am doing the same thing like you in my blog right now.

    Thanks for this venustang.
    I tried doing that, but i need a separate section for each topic, like Telecom, Connectors, etc.
    I cant seem to be able to post on pages.

    I cant seem to be able to post on pages.

    That’s not what pages are for! But like Venustang said: consider working with categories (however I would say, just categories, not categories for pages). You could make a page (static) as frontpage and link to the different categories which work like separate blogs.

    Sorry I don’t mean for wp pages. You can just setup categories as a new blog. That is something I am doing right now for my blog.

    Thanks Gangleri. Could you please elaborate a little more.

    What i understand is, that i create seperate categories for Teleocm etc, and when i write a post, i assign the relevant category. Right?

    Right and then make navigation to the category archives to make them appear as separate blogs.

    Of course there’s a downside. Be default everything will be through eachother in the archives and you might have to do some ‘tweaking’ with the permalinks and/or the index, but as far as I know this comes closest to what you are looking for.
