If you look at NY Times, Bloomberg, Epoch Times, etc, All of these world big style news online distributers have their posts in the perma link showing an addition to a topic. For Example, Nytimes.com/tech, If there is a post, then its NYtiems.com/tech/China’sregimeputtingpeopleincampls12— Etc..
In this theme, we have categories, and the permalink says categories. I know Pages are mostly static, but home is not. Well, why is it that every major news, including CNN, Fox, NBC, non of their Permalinks say category, but you guys have category on this? If I just go with pages, will I have the same function and outcome with posts and the website theme, as if it was categories? Whats the difference in categoris vs pages when putting posts?
Hello,
If I understand correctly you want to have some more control over the permalinks, if is so then please check the Settings>Permalinks -> https://www.screencast.com/t/9qlzKvVNqp or you can use the Yoast Seo -> https://yoast.com/what-is-a-permalink/
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
Hello Calin,
Thank you for response, but that not my question at all.
My question is this
Newspaper 9, has designed the theme to be Posts that go on pages or Categories
Well, Look at Bloomberg, The NY Times, Epoch Times, CNN, and all the major companies. Non of the permalink state Category when an article is written, the posts just as to a section in their news, such as Opinion, Health, Politics, Tech, etc.
So why has Newspaper designed it this way? Is it that those major newspapers have a page for each category and they post each category from separate pages? And this theme just has categories? I need to mimic mainstream and would like to know why it was designed this way. There are ranking factors as well as name recognition for each category, while not calling it a category?
I basically need to know if I should create a page for each category, instead of using post feature from the home page to post articles, and why? And Why is Newspaper different or do I have a wrong understanding?
Hi,
If you want to remove the category from permalinks, you can use the Yoast seo -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6XWP6dUPD
You do not need to create a page for each category, those will be crate automatically when you’ll add a new category, if you want you can set for each category different style, or one stye from all.
