How do I access HTML & CSS code to edit my Loop
-
Basically all I want to do is feed a category of posts onto static pages while keeping them also on the main blog page (my homepage). I need to edit the Loop but I just can’t figure out where my website code is. I have worked with CSS & HTML before but I cannot, for the life of me, find out where the website code is. Every forum I go on is old and I always reach dead ends. I am using Resonar theme if that makes a difference.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
This is a a multiuser blogging platform. There is no access to the underlying PHP and HTML and CSS editing can’t be used to change functionality. It can only be used to change appearance.

You can categorize your posts, create a custom menu and achieve that. Creating a custom menu
Pages and posts http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ are not the same.Pages (static) https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and category pages (dynamic) https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ are not the same.
Among the most common misconceptions is that bloggers fail to understand is
(1) there is only one page we can post to in any blog and
(2) the static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ they create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Categories, Tags and Archives created by the software when we publish a post we that we have assigned Categories and Tags to will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.

There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

Thanks for all the info but I don’t know if I asked the question clearly. I already know all about the menus, post vs.page and categories, I have done all of this in my sites already.
What I actually want is to organize my posts onto pages without hurting my SEO by copying and pasting them or duplicating them. The reason I want to do this is so someone that wants to look at a particular category of my posts will see it on the menu bar and then be able to click on it and then see all of my posts together there in that category. Is there any way I can do this other than copying & pasting a post onto a page or embedding my posts one by one?
-
What I posted has zero to to do with copying and pasting and it does answer your question. When we publish a post with categories and/or tags assigned to it the software automatically duplicates that post on dynamic (continually updating) category and/or tags pages. When any reader clicks on the links they find all posts assigned to the same category and/ or same tag assigned to the post. Please read what I posted above.

No, that’s not what I asked. I understand all of the things you have posted on categories and tags and everything. I want what I have on my menu as it is if you look at my page to be the thing that the user clicks on to bring them to my category posts.
I’m assuming this means it can’t be done on WordPress?

I repeat that you cannot access the php or the HTML and I add that you do NOT need to.
You can do exactly what you want to do.
Publish posts with categories assigned to them.
Create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.

Okay thanks, it worked. I just needed to add the category into my pages. One last question, is there anyway to remove the text “Category: (category name)”?

Hi @lianmorrison!
I’m not able to see any text that reads “Category: (category name)” when viewing your site at saltandsplitends.com. However, it would be possible to hide such text using CSS. Here at WordPress.com, you can add custom CSS to your site if you have a WordPress.com Premium or Business plan. You can find out a little more information on this here:
