    Hi,
    I wrote my posts by want them to appear in different categories but somehow they duplicate themselves and appear in two categories. Here is the link http://make-this-real.com/blog/forever-communicate/. I want the AddWallet Opportunity to appear only in the AddWallet category and Become A ShareHolder to appear only Important infos:World GMN. somehow they appear in both categories. How do i remove these? I have other categories to add but need to sort this out 1st, any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

  • If any post shows in more then one category it’s because you selected more then one category on the post edit screen.

    As far as the “become a shareholder” post showing in the two different widgets in your sidebar, it’s likely because you put it in twice without realizing it.

    Both of those widgets are recent posts widgets.

    A plugin such as http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/custom-recent-posts-widget/ will let you narrow down the category better.

    Hello David

    Thanks for responding. Unfortunately the plugin isn’t working. I have checked the 2 post I’m talking about but I haven’t listed them in both categories. Each is listed in one categories, no idea what’s happening. have checked and double checked but no chance.

    Ok, of the two widgets you have in the sidebar, what are they called?
    Meaning, how are you displaying what is there now….
    A recent posts widget, popular posts widget, etc…?

    hi david,

    the widgets are as follow
    Recent posts: Important posts:Wor(l)d GMN
    Recent post: AddWallet: More $$$$

    Well, those both look like recent post widgets so they are going to show the recent posts, therefore the duplication.
    You could use other widgets to accomplish the same thing.
    Create a custom menu, label it so it’s obvious what it’s for and insert the post/page links you want to show, then go back to the widgets and put a custom menu widget into the sidebar (instead of having 2 recent post widgets), then select your new custom menu from the drop-down and only those links will show.
    That’s just one way to specifically target certain links/pages/posts.
