  Hi,
  I’m using Sela and have reproduced the homepage template with the widgets no problem.

  However, instead of having a grid page that then displays child pages, I want to have parent pages that display posts, filed under a certain category.

  Essentially I want to replicate how this site displays their posts and menus http://eppuresonoinviaggio.it/category/europa/

  My site is http://www.darlingkatty.wordpress.com but it is protected until I have it ready :)

  Any help would be gratefully received!

  Thanks,
  K

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

  Hi there!

  The example site you linked is using Text Widgets there (for their Italia, Europa, Mondo area) like you have setup, and linking to Category Pages in each of those widgets and up in their menu.

  The Italia widget (and menu link) has a link going here: http://eppuresonoinviaggio.it/category/italia/ — which will show a page with all posts that have “italia” as their category.

  To do the same thing on your site, add categories to your posts, then link to the Category Page. For example, if you are going to have food posts that you want to display on a page together, add a “food” category to each post and then link to this in your widget and/or menu: https://darlingkatty.wordpress.com/category/food/

  More on setting up Category Pages can be found here:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
