Several “front pages” by topic

  • How do I create several “front pages” on my site?

    What I have: A regular WP site with one front page that displays all my posts chronologically.

    What I want: A WP site that has several topics listed in the top menu, and when you go to each of these, it will list *all* posts within that topic chronologically just like the current front page. The formatting should be exactly the same as on the front page. At the backend, WP will select and display all the posts with the same tag.

    Note: I have found plugins that displays posts by tag/category on the sidebar or within a page, and that’s not what I am looking for.

    Thanks!

    Thank you. I will have to look at it more closely since my coding skills are a bit rusty after 15 years of not using them. The post is about having multiple templates, so on the surface it looks like another topic, but maybe the solution can be adapted to having multiple front pages.

    WordPress has this backed in. Every topic or “category” has a dedicated “frontpage” that lists all the post in that particular topic/category.

    Your “Announcements” link in your site’s top menu is one such topical “homepage” for your “Announcments” topic/category, with the URL: https://your-domain.org/category/announcement/

    Note that the design of the topical “frontpage” is based on your theme. Lucikly, your theme has the same basic design for these topical frontpages as the main frontpage (except for the big header image on the main frontpage).
