Relate categories to pages
-
I’m sorry if the question is a repost. I have set the categories of my blog and want to relate the categories to the pages I made. So, when someone click on the page, it will open the posts within certain category. I tried to set the page as news but then all posts show in the page while it shouldn’t be there because the category is not relevant with the page. Please help, I made this blog for my thesis.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

On WordPress.COM, all blog posts show on the main blog page at all times and you can’t prevent that.
But you CAN have different page tabs that click to each category. You don’t need to create a static page for the category or tag: each category or tag already has its on dynamically generated page. Just get the URL of that, like in my case http://raincoaster.com/category/weird and put it in a Custom Menu:

Let’s start here. You cannot post to pages. Pages are static and sit outside the blog structure. With wordpress, you use categories to organize posts into subjects and then you can add those categories to your navigation using a custom menu.

What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page, but we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.
A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
