Categorising articles
-
I would like to collect my blog posts in 2 separate locations ( 2 different pages) on a website I am building. ( page is on private setting)
It looks like I should be able to do this using tags and categories, but I cannot seem put it to practice.
Essentially, I would like to have a few selected blog posts showing on the front page, posts that were well liked at previous occasions. It would be ideal if I could do this by using one or two particular tags; and point particular themes to the front page, where the readers should see more often.
Secondly, I would like to collect all other blog posts under ‘more article’ page. This, again, if I could do it by using ‘more articles’ tag, it would be great. At the moment, I have created a ‘more articles’ category, and made this into a page. But I cannot seem to point any post to this page.
Could you please advice how these can be done, please? Thank you in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the wordpress.COM hosted site you refer to please?
And, exactly which wordpress.COM username account registered that site?
This is wordpress.COM support. I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting.
We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

Hi @maikonatsukawa, you have several sites. If you’ll let us know which one you need help with, we can make a recommendation.
In short though, you can use this to set up tags and categories in a menu:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/The front page of your site can show the latest posts (all categories & tags), featured posts (if your theme supports it) or a static page.

Thank you. It is a .com site.
Also, I looked across the suggested link.
The blog I am currently building is set private until it takes a better shape, and it is titled “Breeze of Optimism”. I will likely sign up to Premium plan, but I would like to see if these will all work first.
I would like the ‘Welcome’ page to list selected number of posts, while ‘More article’ page should show the rest of the posts.
Ideally, I would like to make the ‘Welcome’ page look the way ‘More article’ page currently appears, but with featured posts instead of all latest posts. And I would like all other posts appear under another page; I think ‘More articles’ is a good page title.
I think the questions I should ask are below.
1. How do I set up so the featured posts only will show on “Welcome page?
2. Could I create another page where all the latest post will be listed, including different categories and tags? ( I will clarify this. Currently, my “More article” page is a category page, and it means only the post under “More articles’ category will show. But I would like other category to also show there.)I would appreciate greatly if you could please guide me though the process. Thank you in advance.

Okay, I found the site.
To clarify one thing, did you want to set the site up to be like your theme’s demo?
https://rowlingdemo.wordpress.com/Right now you have it set to a static page.

Yes, very smart question. Indeed, I do.
(1) I would like to set up so the front page will look like the theme’s demo, but with the features posts, not all recent posts. (2) And I would like to allocate another page for the rest of the blog post.
I have tried static page with a hope I might be able to place pictures and titles in order, but it did not work out, as you see. Thanks.

You could use all sticky posts on the front page if you wanted to, I suppose. Or you could use a theme that supports featured posts that way.
