Adding post to pages on Canard theme

    I have a blog with the following menu:
    Home – Restaurants – Homemade – About – Contact
    I want to have to posts about restaurants under the ‘Restaurant’ page, and the posts about recipes under the ‘Homemade’ page.
    However if I go to the ‘Restaurants’ page, it forces me to write a post, but what I want is to add all the post about restaurants that I have already!
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thank you.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello @bertieandtheycity
    There are 2 ways to do this:
    1. Using the display posts shortcode:
    You can use the display posts shortcode to show posts under a page.

    For example, if you have posts with category restaurant and want these posts to be available under the Restaurants page then you can add this shortcode to the page:

    [display-posts category="restaurants" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]

    More information about using this shortcode can be found here:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

    2. Creating Category Page:
    You can create category pages by following this official support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

    Hope these help 🙂

    Hi otpidusprime,

    Thanks for your quick response! It’s been very useful.

    I have noticed that:

    – If I do Option 1, then on the new page I will have just a list with all the Restaurants posts, but not an image with an excerpt like on the Homepage.

    – If I do Option 2, then I do have images and excerpts, but then on the top of the page it says “Category: Restaurants”.
    Is there a way to get rid of that on the top of the page so it looks a bit neater?

    Best wishes,
    Bertie

    FOR OPTION 1:
    For excerpts you can add include_excerpt=”true” into the shortcode like this:

    [display-posts category="restaurants" include_excerpt="true" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]

    For thumbnails i am not sure, but you can try this:

    [display-posts category="restaurants" include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]

    I added image_size=”thumbnail” for images, see if it works and let us know.

    FOR OPTION 2:
    Category pages by default show the “Category: Restaurants” title. If you want to hide it you can do that by using CSS codes.

    NOTE: Editing CSS codes is a part of the paid WordPress.COM Premium and Business plans.

    So if you are on any one of those plans you can use this CSS to hide “Category: Restaurants” at the top: 

    .page-title {
    display: none;
}
