OK, some timeout is much needed here.

I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here that maybe this is your first time asking help from a free support forum, that maybe you’re not well-versed with the acceptable etiquette in such forums. And maybe you’ve overlooked the notice on the registration page of this forum that asks you to read the forum rules first before registering.

If you can’t calm down, take a step back, collect yourself, and then come back and be civil, then don’t come back at all.

Now that that’s out of the way, here’s what we don’t understand:

You want to create a page that lists the excerpts of all posts that belong to certain categories or tags, and you want your visitors to be able to go to such page by clicking a link on the main menu. Now, how does this differ from an archive page, which lists the excerpts of the posts that belong to certain categories or tags, that your visitors can go directly to by clicking on a link in the main menu?

There are a multitude of reasons why we don’t provide a step-by-step solution as to how you can create a page that lists the excerpts of all posts that belong to certain categories or tags. Firstly, it’s not so straightforward to implement. Secondly, (maybe with a gift of foresight) we see many issues that will crop up later on if you decide to do it that way.

For example, you will need to create a page for every single categories and tags that you create, now and in the future. You will also need to implement pagination on such pages so that if a single category has hundreds of posts assigned to it, their excerpts won’t all appear on the same, single, very long page.

Third, those (unused) archive pages will still be there, and contain roughly the same content of your to-be-created pages that list excerpts of posts that belong to certain categories or tags, thus maybe search engines will see this as duplicate contents and penalise the ranking of your site’s pages.

So rather than send you on your way to the issues above (which you’ll probably come back to this forum to ask support for later on), we recommended the much easier and straightforward alternative, which happens to have no difference with the features you wanted from the way you described it: use the archive pages.

You can probably achieve this using some posts listing plugin, but most importantly, why recreate a functionality that already exists?

It should be fine, I’ve been using it for a long time now. Not all plugins need to be updated regularly. For some functionality such as that the plugin provides, there’s generally no need to update it if the relevant codes in WordPress core hasn’t changed.

Try it first. If it doesn’t work, then find something else on the WordPress plugins repo.

Each category and tag already has its own archive page, for example: http://thisisrealmedia.com/category/sports/

Use the Custom Post Limits plugin.

#1: The mobile site navigation menu bar does not display the same menu as the desktop version and instead displays all pages currently published. I have custom menus created in WordPress but Neo appears to ignore them. How can I force Neo to use my custom menus?

You can assign which Custom Menu to use for the GM Neo via WP Admin > Appearance > Menus.

Quote:

#2 Several of my posts have multiple tags which overlap the comment section in the mobile version. Is there a way to either hide tags for the mobile site or force them to stay in there own container?

Please provide the URL to one such post so that we can take a look.

You can create a user account for him and set it as “Author” or “Editor”. That way he’ll be restricted to creating and publishing posts, but not much else.

Try adding this to the theme’s Custom CSS feature:

#showimage {

z-index: 10;

}

OK, that’ll be fixed in the next update as well.

In reply to: Featured Image Showing on Post Headers but not Page Headers

#39086

Oh, that is your posts listing page. WordPress uses the page you assigned for the posts listing page simply as a placeholder – it ignores any content or settings for that page. That is why the featured image for that page is not being displayed as the header image.
