Installing a blog subdirectory on maddos?
 

Hey All,

So, I have a review site using maddos. Its wordpress, and would like to install a subdirectory for blogs. am I missing something here?

I create a brand new install on /blog with new database etc but that would mean I would have to change the design to match the main site

or

create a category called blog and have all the blog posts under that, but that would mean tweaking category page design for the blog

is there a simpler way than this? any plugins?

Create page "Blog"

Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays > A static page > Posts page > Select "Blog"

/wp-admin/options-reading.php

Hey, thanks for that

However, the blog seems to display the latest site reviews as posts, as each site review is added via post in maddos

I wanted a seperate blog to write articles etc if that makes sense

is your install on /blog or are you creating a page called blog and wanting it to use that.

The main page has reviews ( Posts ) so essentially domain.com/post/

I want to create a seperate blog.. /blog so I can post other articles and not site reviews

I want to be able to post site reviews also

so yeah, i want to create a page called /blog and use that, so it maintains the same site design

where is maddos in this equation? on the index? and does it have styling for regular blog posts?

maddos on the index yeah. default styling i think, i dont think it has styling for blog posts

so essentially, what I will do is,

Create a new category titled /blog
Install a custom category template plugin, and edit the category list to match that of a blog. change the text " read review" to " view full post " and remove some small stuff

However, the default post is tailored towards a review page, rather than a blog post. Is there a way to make custom post templates also?

wordpress now has the ability to use post templates like you can with custom page templates.
