Create multiple post thread on a post
-
I’m putting together a fashion blog website.
The 3 Main ‘menu’ items are ‘Fashion’, ‘Lifestyle’ & ‘Travel’.
I’d like to have a dynamic page that the actual ‘Fashion’ menu goes to & on that page, I’d like to have automatic update of the blog posts I post and links to child posts.
For ex – I post 5 blog posts, namely, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’ and ‘5’
And then, I further want to post in ‘1’ – that is, the child posts will be ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ and they will appear only when you click post ‘1’.There is a page for all 3 of those menu items ‘Fashion’, ‘Lifestyle’ & ‘Travel’.
‘Lifestyle’ & ‘Travel’ menu items have the same concept as well.
I’ve tried adding ‘category’ to the menu – but it is not working in the way I want, ie, I’m unable to add child posts.
I’m using theme – Dyad 2, is this possible to do in this theme?
Please Help
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi! It sounds like you were going the right direction with adding categories. Can you try these steps?

I’d also recommend:
– deleting the existing (presumably blank) pages
– making sure you’ve got posts published in each category
– removing the existing menu links to pages
– adding them back in as categories
It sounds a bit complex there, but I think the document I linked above will help you through. If you need more help, let us know. :)

And then, I further want to post in ‘1’ – that is, the child posts will be ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ and they will appear only when you click post ‘1’.”I have successfully created the ‘Fashion ‘ menu, and the posts ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’ and ‘5’.
But I’m unable to proceed with the child posts ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’Please help me with that.

Thank you for your time.

For ex – I post 5 blog posts, namely, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’ and ‘5’ in “Fashion” category.
And then, I further want to post in ‘1’ – that is, the child posts will be ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ and they will appear only when you click post ‘1’.”The only way to do that is to manually link the “child posts” in the main post. Or to give the child posts their own unique category and use the Display Posts shortcode to insert the posts into the main post.
But the concept of child posts does not exist in WordPress – all posts you publish will always show in the main feed for your site, and all posts in a particular category will show on the archive page for that category. There is no way to designate a post as a child of another post, thus restricting it to only display on the parent.

Do you mean you want posts from all three to be visible on the same page? If those are the only categories you use on your site, you can use the main posts feed for this – that’s what you currently have set as your site’s front page.
Or else you can create a regular page and use the display posts shortcode to show posts from multiple categories on the page at once.
