Filtering posts to different pages (wp)

What is the url of your site? Be easier to see what your doing first.

There are several ways to do that and the best I can think now without seeing your website are either to create new templates for each page or you can replace your menu links with links to each category.Please tell us your website address so we can take a better look at it.

You shouldn't have them both showing under both links.
Say you have 2 categories "news" and "service area" and then various posts listed for each category.
First:
Make sure on the post edit page you Don't have both categories selected.

Go to appearance/menus and add your menu (which likely you've done) then add the 2 categories to the menu.
When you click the menu bar links to each one, they will only show those posts filed under those categories.
I tested this under the Cloriato lite theme and it's works fine.

A more fine grained way to do it is to take advantage of WordPress template hierarchy.
You can have a custom category template for each one by naming them "category-slug.php" or "category-id.php".
Slug and ID are the actual slugs/id of your categories.
So you would create "category-news.php" and "category-service-area.php"

You can create them by basing them off the category.php file

WordPress will look for templates in this order:

• category-slug.php
• category-ID.php
• category.php
• archive.php
• index.php

The Cloriato theme uses an external loop.php file so you'd need to modify that with a conditional or create specific loop files for your category templates.

There are plugins that could do filter modifications, but it's a very poor way to do it.
Custom templates are not that difficult.

InkThemes support will likely be able to tell you specifically what to do, and maybe even do it for a small fee.


Hope this helps.

Thank you for the help everyone. My website is keystonelocksmithsanjose[dot]com
If you click Service areas tab on the nav bar it shows both posts. The same happens with the locksmith news tab in the nav bar. I dont want the post crossing over into other areas. Only areas I want them to display in

Assuming the theme is functioning correct, it looks like your selecting more then one category on the post edit page.
I tested this in the same theme and it works fine.
But if you accidentally select more then one category on the post edit page it will do what is happening to you. Double check. Also double check the menu page.

I just noticed something. If you click the categories on your sidebar it's fine.
So whatever you entered/selected for the top main menu is the problem.
Now, if you don't want the page to say "Category Archives: Locksmith News" you can remove the word Archives from the template, or you'll need to create a custom template to display them.

this question is very simple,

well when you create the page and you want that page belongs to the First tab, at the right side see the PAGE ATTRIBUTE and select what is the parent of your page you creating and your DONE.

hope this works.

thanks
