Posting on Different Pages
-
I have three “pages” on my blog I want to be able to post on two of them and I cannot see how I can do it. . back in April there was a forum posting that said you cannot do this but I was wondering if this has changed. .
For example my “Home” page has postings and I want to post on my “Students” page. . my blog is http://www.scotttesta.com
Thanks Scott

Nothing has changed. You have one main page for blogging and an unlimited number of static pages.

You have to be signed in, push on the page, And up on top, it should say Edit post or Write Post, just click on that button and you should be able to post.

@singforthelord, what the OP is requesting is multiple blog pages in a single blog, which is not possible here.

Having the same issue (and question) I have devised a workaround that is not so elegant but can work (crude but effective). Basically you use the Home page as a linking control center to the content of the page of interest if you do not necessarily want place the entire contents of a blog. However, if you intend to maintain several topics and want to keep them organized then you would implement a set of top-level pages as your main containers (categories, groups, etc.). Then create additional pages and select the particular page you wish the new content to be grouped under. I also recommend using the Pages Widget to show what is under each particular page. As blogs go, the ostensible intent is to have a sequential-chronological series of entries thus the ‘blogging’ occurring on the Home page. I am a WordPress neophyte and could be off base on my view but it is my experience thus far.

That method would work for some topics. The problem is that you can’t assign categories or tags to pages, so such a blog won’t show up in global searches. And after a while, you could potentially have hundreds of pages.

Tess correctly gave the link to the post-vs-page FAQ, because the whole question is usually due to misunderstandings re these two elements. What the OP asks for is actually the job of categories, not pages.
If you really want posts under page tabs, you must create blank pages whose titles are links to the proper categories.
And a farfetched solution, if you want really separate blog pages, is to have page tabs linking to the categories of an independent auxiliary blog.

There is something like this somewhere in this forum, but I can’t find it so I’ll have a go at it:
(separating posts for multiple users/topics)To Make Your Blog Look More Website-Like:
(a way to direct your readers to specific topics without confusing them with too much text)
Set up a static front page.
On it, place links to your categories, say “Students” “Teachers”
Then when students click on the “Students” they will be directed to a page with all the articles you have designated for students to look at and comment on.
Teachers could look at, and comment on, the information for them.When you write your posts, be sure to apply the appropriate category to each one. The category feature is powerful because if something applies to both students and teachers, you only have to write one post, but add both categories.
(I don’t know if you can make your main posting page invisible?)
Note:
You don’t need to have a static page to use the power of categories! Use a category widget and everyone can sort your posts as you, the writer, want them to be sorted. -
“I don’t know if you can make your main posting page invisible”: once you set a static front, you’ve done that (if you don’t also set a “posts” page).
