Posts on new page?
-
I just made a category called wrestling, and a page called wrestling. I made a post in the wrestling category. It shows up on the main page how would i get it to show up on the wrestling page only?
Thanks,

The main page is the only location where posts will appear. Other pages you create are “static” and will not dynamically update.

Not on wordpress.com. You can get yourself a domain name and self-host with the software from wordpress.org. I don’t know if there are any themes out there that have this capability, so it may also involve hacking a theme to get it to do what you want it to do. If you don’t have experience with html and such, you would have to hire someone to do it for you.

You need to be asking over at the forum on wordpress.org. We use different software here.

The answer to your question is: You can’t. What you want cannot be achieved on a wordpress.com blog. There is only one page (usually the front page but this can be changed) on our blogs that will automatically update with each new post that you make. All other pages you create sit outside the blog structure and are not dynamic and therefore they will not auto update. Pages are for static content that rarely, if ever, changes. Pages cannot be assigned categories. Moreover, pages lack the Google juice that your front page has.If you want dynamic pages then you will be best served by hiring a web host and downloading free software from http://wordpress/org and then hacking it to suit.
And as thesacredpath has already pointed out, if you do not have the skills to hack a wordpress.org template to suit then you must hire someone to do that for you. There is no free of charge customized blog service.
Will you please mark this thread “resolved”?

Another way to work around it would be to make a text widget in your sidebar with a link to “http://blogname.wordpress.com/tag/wrestling” and name it “Wrestling”
It’s the same as the categories widget does, but this will give you more control of what tags that get shown on your front page.
This will not prevent the post from showing on your front page though.

The http://wordpress.org software is different from our wordpress multiuser software used at wordpress.com. If you want dynamic pages then your best course of action is to either self host or hire a webhost and download software from http://wordpress.org

Okay then The forum you are currently posting to is only for those with blogs hosted by wordpress.com. The correct forum for self hosting bloggers and those who have web hosts other than wordpress.com is here http://wordpress.org/support
