I know the normal way to do this would be to set the 'posts page' to the Blog page within the wp-admin readining settings, but i have to leave this blank as i have categories setting the posts to go to all sorts of posts:-

 

Accessories

- Hats

- Shoes

- Etc

 

But i also need to intergrate a Blog. My Blog is a Page found on the main navigation, but i dont know how to get 'blog posts' only to go to this specific Blog Page? As i cant add categories like you can for the posts?

 

Any ideas?

 

Probably a simple answer?

Redacted.

Edit: Didnt read the question :facepalm:

 

Read: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages and refer to "A Page of Posts".

 

Is that what you mean?

I hate to say this, but I don't understand the question. I got confused about half-way through.

 

Take a break for a few minutes and figure out how you would explain it to your mom. And have a pint to take the edge off: it'll help.

 

Moron!

Let's try and keep things civil folks. If you can't help the OP, then perhaps it's best to refrain from posting in this thread - and please try to refrain from calling each other names. WDF just ain't that kind of party!

First thing is copy your index.php into a new file and call it blog-template.php

 

At the top of the file add the following:

 

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Template
*/
?>

 

Now we need to edit the wordpress code, find the following:

 

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

 

Add the following in front of that

 

<?php query_posts('category_name=category'); ?>

 

Look for this code:

 

<?php endif; ?>

 

Add the following after it

 

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

 

Change category to the name of the blog category.

 

Now upload the file to your theme files e.g. /wp-content/themes/theme-name.

 

Now go to your blog page, and on the right hand side it will say template: Use the drop down and find the blog template. Save that and now any posts made in the blog category will appear on that page.

 

Hope that helps
