I want to transfer some old post to different page
-
I need to know how I can move my old post and categorize it to different pages that I will be creating. Let’s say a page about food, then parenting on the other page. I tried searching for it on the dashboard but I seriously haven’t found any. Your help is greatly appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We need the URL of the blog in question beginning with http before anyone can give you accurate help.

Firstly, we need you to post an active link starting with http:// to the blog you refer to. Secondly, posts cannot be automatically transferred to static pages. That’s a copy and paste job.Thirdly, it’s critical that you understand the differences between pages which sit outside the blog structure and posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages.
We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. Although there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance we have done so by creating a custom menu. In that custom menu you will be displaying Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation to achieve what you want.
These are the how-to instructions:
1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
2. You add the Categories you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.
3. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-categories below the appropriate Categories, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.
4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pull-down labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.
Note: If you wish you can also include pages and sub-pages of your own choice and custom links in your custom menu as well.

If you do not wish to create a custom menu and wish to retain only pages in the horizontal menu then you can create a parent child page hierarchic by following these instructions. > You can arrange your pages in hierarchies in the page attributes module. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

Hi Timetheif,
I use the Ocean Mist theme and recently created a Custom Menu to show pages and categories. The pages are fine, but when you click on the link which leads to a category, it only shows the list of posts, not the whole post or an excerpt/beginning. Is there any way around this, or do I need to change themes?
Thanks for your help.

Ocean Mist displays only the titles on category and archive pages. It’s built into the theme:
