Add post to Pages
-
I have a page called recipes. I wan’t each recipe to show up in its own post like a blog. I think it will be much easier for the user to keep track of recipes this way. Is this possible or do I need to have another blog just for recipes? Keep in mind that
1). I’m a chef
2). I’m not a programmer
3). I don’t know PHP
4). I don’t want to know PHP
5). I don’t understand CSS
6). I don’t want to understand CSSI went with this because it looked turnkey and I didn’t think I would have to rewrite code to do what I need.
Thanks in advance…
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please provide a link to your blog whenever you ask a question in these forums, starting with
http://
Often we need that to know you are in the correct forum, and also to give you answers sometimes we need to take a look.Or link your name to your blog:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/7-things-to-know-before-posting-in-wordpresscom-forums?replies=1You could put each recipe on its own separate page, but if you have a lot of recipes, it would be difficult to find one of a hundred. Look into using categories: by cooking method, by ingredients, or some other key words.

Using a categories widget will allow you and your readers to find the recipes easily because wordpress will generate a page of links to all the recipes in each category. Not that one recipe can be assigned to several categories. -
Another solution is to post each recipe as a separate post, and then have a Page titled “Recipes.” That Page will consist of little more than links to to the various posts, and you can group those links as you like. Nothing wrong with using categories too. Give your readers a choice of ways to navigate around. Note that not all themes put Pages up at the top of your header. If yours doesn’t, you’ll need to add the Pages widget.

D’oh, this was the exact reason I joined wordpress, in the hope that I could use certain pages like a blog!
Thanks for asking the question though Chefjake.
Perhaps wordpress could incorporate this feature in their next upgrade?

WordPress.ORG can already do that. Because of the way our blogs are set up, it’s not possible here as far as I know; if you were to do that, you’d make the change for everyone using that theme.
I don’t see how what ltess is suggesting substantially differs from what you’re asking, though. The category/tag pages are dynamic and then Poof! you have a page with all your recipes on it.

What I’m writing doesn’t apply to this forum but is the closest I could find to what I’m looking for.
I’m having serious trouble with my website. I want my viewers to see all the pages but they are only showing up on the top and not on the sidebar; so not all of my pages are being shown.
I’d like to know how to fix this and see if anyone can help me.

This is a question I have too – mine is a protected blog, and I wanted different categories to appear in each of 2 sidebars – sometime back a WP staffer suggested a workaround using the RSS feeds widget with the link http://’blogname’.wordpress.com/category/’categoryname’/feed – but unfortunately RSS feeds may not be working with protected blogs because I get the message “An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.” to that widget setup.
I would have thought it would be simple for wordpress to mimic an internal RSS feed from a blog’s category without having to expose the content publicly through a regular RSS feed. (I dont quite understand RSS feeds – but this is what may be happening) -
@mercyjoseph, private blogs do not have RSS feeds. If they did, then that would pretty much undo the private setting.
If you want your links to be separated, there are two ways to do that. One is to create appropriate links categories and then assign those categories to your various links. The links widget will then organize your links by those categories and put the category names above the various groups of links.
The other way, if you want them separated into different sidebars is to basically create your own “links” widgets using text widgets and coding the HTML for the links.

Thanks thesacredpath – I’m not sure I understand all of your instructions, but I’ll try to find my way with the links widget as a start – I have already created categories, not sure what you mean by “links categories” – but let me try the links widegt first

this is crazy, but it sort of works.
create a “dummy” page.
then create real pages making the dummy page the parent, then, using the widget they will all show up in the sidebar.i have been unable to get any of the nested pages to display when opening the parent page, no matter what it’s named.
question: isn’t there a way to may widgets in the sidebar collapsible?

Don’t post your email address in a public forum. No reputable volunteer here will answer via emal. And you leave yourself open to spammers of all sorts. -
Thanks for the advise 1tess. Ive already learned my lesson on that one the hared way! The one posted is a disposable address. But thanks.

I’m familiar with Beet and the way you want your blog to work is the way it already DOES work. You just need some comments!
-
NO, Ive tried.. She has some some posts, not all, but some that are on a post and has the same post on a page…. Then when you click to make a comment, the same comments are in both places…. Is it because of the widget that she is using?
