Hi Thanks
That worked great.

Hi
Yes thanks, but they say it can’t show a different side bar depending on the page you are on. so would show the list of recent posts from the other blog.

I can’t seem to get to the bottom of it and think it may need a second install of wordpress.

Hi Should I be looking at the achive.php or index.php to do this and get read of the single.php?
thanks

Hi
I am not sure I understand is it better to use two installs of WP if the two blogs have a different design template? As all looks good until I click on the post or read more and then it uses the single.php which looks like the other blog. It has the header and footer the same but uses a custom sidebar so not sure a get template part would work?

Hi
Thanks that has worked great. The only problem I am having is in one of the blogs that I have set up to only show a certain category. (I have set up a template file called ‘category-create-2.php’ that has a different design to the other blog) However when I click on to a story from the create blog it show in single.php which is in the design of the other blog. Should I set up a ‘single-create-2.php’ with `<?php
/*
Template Name: category-create-2
*/
?>` at the top of it so the category blog doesn’t revert to the other hierarchy?

Sorry if this post doesn’t make sense, If more details are required please let me know.

Thanks for your time

Hi I have set that up but the posts in the blog category still appear in the news section as well and when you click on the story from the sidebar it takes you to 2010/12/ and out of the category template?

No through the wordpress dashboard.

Settings > Reading > Encoding for pages and feeds

thanks

Hi Esmi

It comes back with – Sorry! This document can not be checked.

thanks

I see so how do I set a page that only displays one category say ‘blog’ and one that displays another category say ‘news’?

thanks

No through Settings > Reading.

Hi I already have a static homepage and have set the read to my other news page. Will I then need to add a exclude=catid,catid, or include=catid to a new template page ?

Hi thanks for that.

What code do I need to add to my page so all posts in the category blog appear on it in the blog template and do not appear on the news page?

Spot on, thanks.

Hi Again

I am not having much luck with this I want to have two blogs/news pages with all the functionality on one installations do you know if this is possible and if there is any instructions on how to do this?

I have set up different menus and templates but want to get it so you only view a certain category on a certain blog page and this has the recent stories and archive for just that category!

Thanks

thanks everyone I now have it working
