Posting to Different Pages

    How do I post to a page that is different than the main page?
    I have my blog up and running with numerous plugins and all is working well however, I find my self in need of some help. In my particular case, I have one blog that contains several dedicated Pages. For example: I have one Page as the main blog and another that is dedicated (password protected) to my 2008 safari travelers. I need to update the later with additional posting. Currently I can only add comments to this Page as updates, as all postings do directly to the main Page. Is there a way to updates for my travelers via postings rather than continuing to use comments as a method to update? If you need to see my site to answer my question, take a look at randyhannaphotography.com/blog. The theme used is Misty.

    If this is overly simple and I have missed it, I apologize in advance.

    Cheers and best new year to all.

    You don’t. Pages are NOT for displaying multiple posts.
    You use categories instead. Although in that case you will have to use another method for protecting it.

    I have seen this question a few times, and I want to do the same thing. Other than the only response of Pages aren’t like that, or that’s not what they are for…It would be great if someone who is code savy could come up with a plugin that allows us to chose a “page” to post something on. If we can chose what page number and order we want a page to be in, I think there is a genius out there who can come up with code for the ability to select the page we’d like our blog to be posted on. I like this Gentleman, have a personal page, that I’d love to use as my own diary page…where you need to have a password to get to it. Problem is…I can only make this page go on for eternity – I’d rather have a line up on pages option / a drop down to select page to add my entry to – WordPress is amazing as an open souce program. People are amazing to create and add plug ins…widgets…etc. I only wish I were the genius who could figure this out – I shouldn’t have to make my Categories show up as pages and even then I can’t password protect the category.

    There’s a couple different ways to do what you’re wanting to do I think.

    First is to make it so the main Loop, which is your front page, exclude a particular category, this is done fairly easy with the custom loop:

    then make a page with a custom theme page, and throw a different loop on that page that only shows your ‘protected’ content. you can protect it through the ‘is_user_logged_in’ bit of code:
    http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

    just make sure that only people you want to see your protected content are registered and logged in. the best example of this is the meta section in your template. when you’re logged it, it shows you links to your dashboard and to your profile. when you are not logged in, it shows you a different set of links.

    Thank you tgiokdi…I will try this and see if it will let me post seperate blogs to the custom theme page…appreciate the response 🙂
