New pages versus new blog posts

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I am new to wordpress so i apologize if this is a really easy question or fix…

    I am creating blogposts and making categories and linking, etc.
    I noticed I can also create pages within pages other than the “Home Page”. But i noticed that i can’t create pages and then create categories for these pages. What i mean is..whats the difference between actual posts and pages? Why can’t i do the same things with each? If i write a post, how can i filter it under a specific page?

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

  • But i noticed that i can’t create pages and then create categories for these pages.

    Pages can’t be assigned categories or tags. This is normal.

    We have a Support document on that very question available here:

    Pages vs. Posts

    If i write a post, how can i filter it under a specific page?

    As you’ll see in the page linked above, this isn’t possible. If you are using a Custom Menu, the best option for sorting your posts using the navigation is to use Categories to do so.
