  I have searched, read, Google, and gone on you tube and none of the instructions have helped. I know this question is asked a lot so hopefully it’s an easy fix. I want post about makeup and go under the makeup page or the menu on the top of the website. I have tried many different ways but nothing seems to work. Please help as I have been trying and it’s driving me insane. Sorry for asking a question that has been answered many times before but I just can’t get it to work.

  Thank you in advance for your time

  There is a single page we can post to in any blog and that’s all there is. We can only create the appearance of posting to more than one page.

  You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.

  So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.

  You need to be aware that:

  1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.

  3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.

  So the process you need to use is:

  • Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  • Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
  • Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
  • Add any custom links and other items into your custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links.
