1. My homepage has a similar layout like this http://soledad.pencidesign.com. Using the homepage options I also have 3 featured homepage boxes. I would like the boxes to link up a blog page only with posts of that category. i.e - the "memories" box will go to a page with posts with the category "memories" leaving out the rest.
- also how do I make the first blog post page a summary instead of the full text. I tried on the reading tab but nothing changes.
2. When I go to create my page that the featured homepage box goes to - how do I make it look like the link below - like a post with a grid after. I see it for the homepage but I use the custom blog page for the page itself and I don't know how to customize from there...
1/ You can go to Customize > Homepage Options > and fill any URL for featured boxes like the way you want. You can get the url you want to go to and paste it there. It's quite simple.
2/ Have 2 ways to do that:
a) Go to Customize > Standard & Classic Layout Options > and check to "Auto Render Excerpt"
If you could help me with the second part of my first question: I would like the boxes to link up a blog page only with posts of that category. i.e - the "memories" box will go to a page with posts with the category "memories" leaving out the rest.
How do I make a page with post of just one category? I understand how to create the homepage boxes but is there a way to make the URL link go to page teasing out posts under one category?

Hello and thank you. Your instructions helped.
If you could help me with the second part of my first question: I would like the boxes to link up a blog page only with posts of that category. i.e - the "memories" box will go to a page with posts with the category "memories" leaving out the rest.
How do I make a page with post of just one category? I understand how to create the homepage boxes but is there a way to make the URL link go to page teasing out posts under one category?
Thank you!
I figured it out! Thanks
