Separate category list for each tab
-
Hello. I am new to WordPress and am just learning through trial and error. i would like to have 4 different tabs (pages?) across the top when someone arrives at the website, and have each tab have its own categories. Can that be done?

We need a link to your wordpress.COM blog. Consider linking your user name to your blog, as explained in the sticky at the top of the forum: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/7-things-to-know-before-posting-in-wordpresscom-forums?replies=1

Hi, I think I am now linked to the wordpress blog. I’m still wondering if separate tabs or pages can have their own list of categories? Or is it just all one theme, and then what I want to have as pages become categories and then I create subcategories within each category. I have only about 4 or 5 main themes in mind, but can forsee a huga mount of subcategories. Is there a limit to the number of either categories or sub-categories?
Thanks! -
Yes you are linked – thanks! (Did you intend the About page to be your starting page? I can never figure out how to navigate to the blog postings when there is a static front page.)
Each tab in that theme is a link to a page. Typically, a page contains static information. The categories page is created on the fly – if someone clicks on a particular category, it creates a page with all of the posts in that category. For example http://remembranceproject.wordpress.com/category/carlos-varona/ (yeah – bad example – looks like you posted a blank post just to get the category to show – not a good idea, BTW)
You say you only have about 4-5 main themes in mind yet your category list already has nearly 30 items in it. Was it your intention to make some of these categories sub categories? AFAIK, there is no limit on the number of categories and sub-categories you can have. (But if you have a bunch, you’ll probably want to change your category widget to a drop-down instead of the list.)
There is a trick that allows you to put a category in the tabs at the top, but before you do that, I think you want to clean up your categories. Nearly 30 pages across the top is going to look pretty bad.

BTW – I think the reason I have trouble navigating blogs with static front pages is that they miss a step when creating the pages. Take a look at this FAQ http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/having-a-static-page-at-the-front-of-the-blog/ I never was able to figure out how to get to your posts page.
