  I simply want to put posts up on a different page than my home page. It is going to be a “Fun Fact Friday” where i post a fact every Friday. I’ve looked at custom menus and all of that and it still won’t work. Please help me with this issue.

  You can do this by:

  • Adding a category called ‘fun-fact-friday’
  • Creating a custom menu
  • Adding the ‘fun-fact-friday’ category to your custom menu
  • Adding the ‘fun-fact-friday’ category to all the relevant posts

  When I do this, it still pops up on my home page but not on my page title “Fun Fact Friday.” So is the problem that I have a page title Fun Fact Friday?

  I just want every “Fun Fact Friday” post to be able to be seen on my “Fun Fact Friday” page. And under my “Fun Fact Friday” custom menu, I have “Fun Fact Friday” page, category, and post but nothing shows up on my “Fun Fact Friday” page.

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

  Instead of using a page, I recommend categorizing them as “Fun Fact Friday” and then add this category to your menu.

  When I categorize it, that takes me to a page where it shows the whole wordpress website of people who have the category of “Fun Fact Friday.” I guess my custom menu isn’t working?

  I don’t really understand my Custom Menu. It isn’t having any effect on my blog.

  It doesn’t look like you’ve created a custom menu yet.

  You can do this from Appearance -> Menus in your blog’s Dashboard.

  I deleted all them so I can start from scratch. I want to make sure and do it correctly. So I created one custom menu called “Fun Fact Friday” and then put what in that menu to make it pop up on my bar at the top with all my facts along with being posted on my home page?

  Sorry for my trouble, I appreciate the help.

  That sounds about right, but I could be misunderstanding what you want. Does it work out for you?

  No it doesn’t. What do I put in the custom menu to have these facts pop up on the menu at the top of the page?
