Links in Pages

    How do you put a link in a page. For instance I have headings in my menu, I want it to go Menu-> Recipes-> Breakfast then in the breakfast theres say 10 recipe titles underlined, you click on it and it takes you to the recipe. How do I do this!!!! I can not figure it out

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    The easiest way to do this would be to use categories to delineate the various different recipes (Breakfast, Lunch, etc). Then, you could place a category page in your menu as explained here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

    Category pages automatically populate with the latest posts in that particular category. Can you give that a try?

    Hi Jeremy,
    Oh goodness I am so grateful for your help I have been trying and trying for weeks to figure this out. I’m sure it is so simple, I just can’t see it! could you please have a quick look at

    http://www.jessicasepel.com/category/recipes/breakfast/

    This is exactly what I want to do, have the recipes like this (like a website style) so they just stay there and I can add to them and they don’t come up on my home page like i’ve posted a blog. I would be eternally grateful for your help!

    Hi there,

    This is definitely doable! The easiest way to do this would be to use the display post shortcode explained here:

    Display Posts Shortcode

    Rather than following the category pages tutorial, let’s create a new page (not post) on your blog. In that post, we’ll place the display post shortcode. The various code attributes are explained in the support page above, but something like this should get us close:

    [display-posts category="CATEGORY" posts_per_page="50"]

    You’ll just need to replace “CATEGORY” with the actual category name. That should create a list of posts just like your example. Can you give that a try?

    It worked! Thank you so much!!!!! I appreciate it beyond words. Just to clarify though, when I add the next recipe (as a post, and categorise it), how do I make it keep going on this list? And do I create a new page for with the code for each category?

    Thank you so much again

    Hi!

    Great! I’m glad that worked for what you were looking for. In order to have the next recipe included on the list, you’ll just need to add it to the category specified in the shortcode. It will automatically be added after that.

    As for new pages, you can either A) place the code on the same page specifying another category (just swap out the category names) or B) create an entirely new page with a new code. It really just depends on whether you want the recipes on the same page or a different page.
