Create a news page

[shellycs]

Hi there,
Sorry if this is a silly question but I am new to this website building stuff. I am wanting to create a page just for news. I would like to do this as posts but not have the posts appear in the blog section of my website. Do you know if there is an mechanism in the visual composer or shortcode that I can use for this? Or do I need to do some coding (gulp!).
Thanks in advance 🙂

Use a category for news. There are built in archive pages that will show every post for a selected category. So, that’s your news page. Example: http://seventhqueen.com/themes/kleo/category/courses/

But since you dont want them to show up in your normal blog feed, you’ll have do some coding. Do a google search for exclude category from blog.

Thank you so much…works perfectly!

I created a new page, used kleo post grid and set it to the category I wanted to show on that page and in the query got it to show all posts. Then I found some code….here’s what I did for anyone else that ever needs to know this:

function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set(‘cat’, ‘-66,-71,-70’);
}
return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’);

?>

Thanks again!!!
