  I need to move some posts between pages as they are on the wrong page. How do I do that?

  Hi there,

  Are you referring to moving the posts to a different position chronologically so that it displays on a different page? Ton confirm, this is in reference to https://themarshallplan.design.blog/?

  Sorry I’m quite new to this. Thanks for your answer.

  I currently have three pages – home, blog, contact.

  I worked out how to create a new page.

  But some of the posts on my blog (book reviews) I would like to move to the new page.

  Then in the future add separate new posts to both the blog page and the new page.

  Is that possible. Mine is a free version of WordPress.

  Pages are a type of content, like posts, so they can’t contain posts.

  Instead, use your categories for this, as each category has its own archive page, like https://themarshallplan.design.blog/category/book-review/

  You could use a shortcode to display a specific post on a page. See here:

  Display Posts Shortcode

  Does that look like what you want to do?

  You can totally have pages and posts. In that scenario most folks assign a “blog” page for their posts which gets linked in to the site menu. An example would be a business website with a blog where they post updates.

  Hi @joakimmelinringsparr, you’ll want to add category pages to your menu. This will allow you to have pages with certain posts on them. For example, let’s say you want to have one page for helicopter related news and another about ultralight planes. You would create two categories and then assign each post to the correct category.

  Here are detailed instructions about that:

  Organize Posts with Categories
