    on my blog, i have 2 pages without any content on them because I wanted to add sub pages/categories to them. for example the sports page the sub group called nba and nfl (which i plan to add later) how do i have it so when people click on the sports page they can see both sub groups?

    same with my music page. i have now playing, now watching, and albums, but i want the music page to contain all 3? is this possible? seems like a simple thing but i can’t figure it out.

    Thanks for any help.

    In this case you’ll have to create a regular page and use the Display Posts shortcode to display posts from those two categories. Keep in mind the shortcode can only display 100 posts.

    The other option is Category Pages, but they only work for one category at a time. Of course, if both those sub-groups have another common category that only they have, then set up a category page for the common category (or their parent category). Category pages are dynamic, i.e. you don’t set them up via Pages ->Add New, but by adding a category link to a custom menu. For detailed instructions and tips in setting up category pages, see these links:
