Hello can someone please help me. I have been trying for many of hours now with no joy. I am creating my post fine and everything is great. My problem is my post are only appearing on my home page. I want different articles to also appear in different pages in my pages section in my main menu in the header. For example I have Football as a page in my header menu. I have wrote a football blog article and want my visitors to be able to click on football at the top of my website and all post that have been categorised football to appear in the football section. I feel like I have tried everything and nothing is working. The only way I have been able to do it so far is by using the category as a main menu topic instead of having a dedicated page. But I don’t want it set up like this I would like to be able to set it up as each blog to appear in to each section of football, tennis boxing etc. Really hope someone can help me so I can move on thank you

Hello,
I’m afraid I didn’t understand exactly what you need. Do you want pages similar with the categories, but to also display posts for other categories? or the problem is only with the menu, where you want to access the category, but you can do it only by setting the category on menu and not using a page?
If is the first one then I see 2 possibilities.
1. Use cloud categories templates for your categories, those can be edited with tagDiv Composer and you can set blocks or edit the existent block to display certain categories or posts. In this way you’ll also display posts from current category but you can also have sections with different posts from other categories.
2. You need to create pages and set in theme blocks that are filtered after the posts you want to display (something like a homepage).
Thank you!

Hello Calin sorry for the late reply. So my page is a sports blog I have opened a page called football which is in my header menu which is great. Now when i Make a football post I put it in the category section of football. So how do I get my football page to just show my post that have been put in to the football category only. At the moment my football page is showing all articles of all sports. I am using the tagdiv composer tool. I have added a post loop to my football page. I can see under the extra section in the general tab it says exclude post. I have tried adding the category ids but nothing is working at all. It would be so much easier if we could just select a show category only option. I really hope you can help me fix this thank you

Hello so I have just noticed that if I add a flex block or a block then it gives me a filter to set the category for the page. Is this option not available when adding a post loop thank you

Hello,

Normally, if Football is a category, then the Posts Loop will display the posts from that category.
For the category template, if you have set a posts loop then will display all posts in this category or you can use Flex Block 1 and set the filter to “Category -Current category” => https://i.imgur.com/7P99qx0.png
Please provide a link to your category.

Thank you!
