  How can make static pages children of a post? The page options only show pages.

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

  Hi,

  A static page can not be a child or a parent of a post. Can you provide an example of what you are trying to accomplish?

  A Category Page displays all posts (or post excerpts) assigned to a specific category.

  A Custom Menu may be used to conveniently provide links, in the header navigation area, to posts in various categories.

  Hi! I am looking to make combine several blogs under one. Then I want to show only that top blog in the list. The way I found to do this is by creating a top page to group subpages and then listing the pages on the top blog. This method works but is not neat. I was wondering if there was a better way that did not involve changing the template files. Also there doesn’t seem to be a way in WP for Android to make a blog a child.

  Three questions:

  1. Is the front page of https://boldthoughtsblog.wordpress.com/ an example of what you are trying to do?

  2. Would you, or would you not, prefer it to look more like the front page in the Rowling demo?

  3. What do you mean subpages? Please provide an example.

  The Rowling theme falls among the WordPress.com themes selected when filtering themes by the subject “magazine.” Here are the 64 WP.com magazine themes.

  I’m still not understanding precisely what you to do. There are many themes which display titles and excerpts of posts on the posts page, some of which allow a thumbnail or featured image to accompany the title and excerpt.

  Other themes feature a grid-based or tiled format on the posts page, where each image in the grid or in the tile rows link to a corresponding individual post (I can provide a link list of some the latter). Or you might be interested in a theme which features a “Showcase Page template” such as Skylark, Oxygen, or Twenty Eleven.

  I really am just looking to have blogs hidden as children. They are only links in a top blog. I’ll just use pages as described. Thanks.

  You’re welcome. I might be better able to help if you could describe the goal more clearly, or provide an example which illustrates what you are after. I don’t understand what you mean by “blogs hidden as children.”
