    How do I add a post to a custom page I created?
    For example, I have a post called ‘My Little Warrior’ and I would like to add it to the page titled ‘Random Posts’. Also, I have a bunch of posts I would like to add to another page I created. How do I do this? I don’t want to add them to the menu bar, I just want to add them to the page.

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

    Static pages that we bloggers create never automatically update.
    They are not at all like dynamic pages for posts. So you can edit the pages you created and add whatever you want to the static pages manually, but do not expect to get the same thing as you see on the front page of your blog for posts.

    When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.

    So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic category pages to it we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than on page.

    You need to be aware that:

    1. there are differences between posts and pages described here
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    2. there are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.

    3. we organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.

    So the process is:
    Assign Categories to your Posts.
    Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
    Add the dynamic category page links into the menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages
