Is this possible? Showing specific category posts on a newly created page

    Hi Guys, building my first wp website and really enjoying discovering all the wonderful things it can do, however I am getting stuck now and then, and one thing I am trying to do right now I just can’t seem to get right, even though it is probably very simple.

    Basically, I create a new page, lets call it ‘cars’.
    Now when someone adds a new post and assigns it to the category ‘red cars’ or the category ‘blue cars’ I want those posts to be listed on the new ‘cars’ page I created. Perhaps even with a category sort on the page.
    So the url would be mysite.com/cars, and that page would contain all posts in category blue cars, and category red cars, or whatever other categories I assign to that page.

    Many thanks for any help.

    Hi Ronsun, of course. You could do this with a Latest Posts block or just use a category page.

    I didn’t see a link to your site, by the way, but please note these instructions (and these forums in fact) are for the free sites using our managed hosting service, which can be quite different from running your own WordPress installation at another host.

    If you meant to ask about an installation of WordPress elsewhere, here’s the correct forum:
