Hi champton321 - if you are going to use sub-categories, why not just link to each sub-category, and not the main category? That way, your posts you want to show are confined to that particular sub-category. Linking to them would be really easy with the WordPress 3.0+ Menu functionality. Does this help?

I noticed that when you clicked on the Services category, it showed ALL posts that were posted under the category AND its subcategories. This is what's happening on my site as well. The issue is that I don't want that. Is there a way you can somehow get it to where the site will only show posts from their respective categories without going into the actual code? I'm sure you could code it to do that, but the thing is I don't know PHP, it reads like gibberish to me.

Merci Mr Dennison. I'm a teacher and It's a good video, well done for new learners of WordPress. Pace, structure and explanations are great. Good to see you while you do it. It makes it personal and warm. Thanks again.

That was so helpful, I can feel the stress release from my shoulders. Thanks so much for the well done video. I've been wondering how I can organize my posts, and your tutorial will guide me easily. I hope you have more videos to come :-)

hi

when I create some categories I did not only few of them in my blog

can u tell me why?

[DennisonWolfe]

What I think you are asking is: When you create categories, not all of them show up on the website.

This is because categories only show up if you have at least one post in that category. To test this, create a new post and add it to ALL of the categories. Then Save, and see if the categories now all show up on your site - each of them should have that new post listed.

[TheArabEconomist]

yes now it's showed up.

thanks a lot

fast and precise tutorial ! great job

but why oh why! did include the insert of the tutor?? i could not see the interface and also it reduce the size of the actual workspace!

would have been much better with the handsome face ;) after all what he's saying is whats important! and it was ;)

[DennisonWolfe]

that's a good suggestion, thank you - i kept my face up there because these tutorials are specifically for our clients, and they appreciate the personal touch to our service. But I agree that it takes up important screen space, so maybe I'll just do an intro to start things out for future videos.
