I’m trying to decide which method would be best for an internal linking structure that utilizes 4 main categories, and then pages within those categories using WordPress.
At first I thought I could just use Posts as a method of determining whether or not content belonged within that category… but now I’m second guessing myself. The site structure is like this:
High-level nab:
Category 1
- Page 1
- Page 2
- Page 3
- Page 4
Category 2
- Page 1
- Page 2
- Page 3
- Page 4
Category 3
- etc
Category 4
- etc
Obviously, this is a custom theme. But before I start coding, I want to make sure that I’m storing, pulling and organizing the data properly.
What are you thoughts? Greatly appreciated!
WordPress is actually designed to be a blog, not a pure CMS. If you do not use the blog function, I suggest trying another ‘real’ CMS (Joomla, Drupal, TYPO3, many many others).
But to answer your question, why did you reconsider ? It would make it easier to know why your are second guessing…
If you want to accomplish this with the given categories from wordpress, you can use a category to page plugin like this one here. But there are also some CMS plugins for WP that make wordpress to a proper cms and can help you grouping pages – see the plugin resource.
