WordPress gives you a way to categorize your posts. The reason you would want to do this is that it allows you (or your readers) to filter the posts to the ones they are interested in. Taking the “Nutsy and the Egg” site for example, I have categorized my posts by music and the comic names, “Nutsy and the Egg” and “Bananaman” Now, instead of having to scroll through all the posts, I have filtered them so you can read all the Bananman Comics in the same place for example, instead of scrolling down the main blog to find them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also create a hierarchy of categories, so for example I could put all the comic posts under the higher level category “comics” and the lower level category of their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve also set up a “Featured” category which contains the latest post from each of my other categories, so if you go there you get the last music post, the last Nutsy and the Egg post, and the last Bananaman post. I’ve made that my main page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which raises the question of what you need divi for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem with word press categories is while you can have separate menu items for each, which I already have, it isn’t really a page, and you can’t put anything but that filtered feed on it. At least they haven’t added that to the Gutenberg Block Editor yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Divi lets you do that. You create a Page, not a post, can put whatever else you want on the page, then add the category feed as the last item on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means if you want to have say a cooking blog, an entertainment blog, and a general discussion blog all on the same site, you can do so. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
