Use tags for a custom blog feed, or something better?

  • My site has two main “topics,” so instead of a general blog feed that shows all latest posts, I’d like to have two “latest posts” pages, one for each of these main topics.

    I set this up by applying one of two tags to every blog post. Then I created two Elements, each using a Loop Template and Location: Post Tag Archive (connected to each respective tag).

    With this method, I then have to link to “domain/tag/tag-name” to access each of the pages – and I really dislike this. Having a blog feed with “tag” in the URL is very unattractive, and apparently it’s much more difficult to remove /tag/ from a URL than /category/.

    Is there a better way to accomplish what I’m trying to do?

  • Hi there,

    GP does not have control over permalinks, you might want to search for a plugin which does that for you.

  • Yes, I understand that about the URL issue.

    My question was more about the right/best way to approach creating two separate blog feeds, and how to link to them.

    Are tags the only/best way to accomplish what I’ve described? i.e. splitting my blog feed/latest posts into two? I don’t want to use categories because all of the posts already belong to specific categories.

    Thanks for your help.

    Using tags or categories to organize your blog is a good way.

    Or you can create a Custom type, so you have a post blog and a CPT archive.
