I have the LinkedIn plug in and I set it up to auto post only a specific category of blog posts. On it's first run it posted both of the blog posts - the category I had specified and one I did not specify. How can I get it to only post one particular category of blog posts? In the Settings, In "Select categories for auto publish" I only selected one category... help! thanks. I sent this question to LinkedIn and they sent me here.

I am creating 200+ members of a team whom are also authors of various blog posts that will be featured on this site. The issue is I have a post type called Team Members, where I would link these members to be authors for the various posts I will be importing to the site.
Question: Instead of using Wordpress normal Users tab, making the user an author, and selecting that user as the author of a regular post,
Can I do the following:
Create a post, select the author as a post type (Team Members) and that linked Post Type becomes the author?
Thank you for your help!
Is this possible, with resources as a category base?
category page - example.com/resources/technical-articles/automotive/
post page - example.com/resources/technical-articles/my-automotive-article
Right now the categories work, but the article returns a 404.
Assuming that /technical-articles/ is a category, I don't see why not -- you can have posts that live in any level of subfolders. So /my-automotive-article/ would be a post within the /technical-articles/ category. The /automotive/ subcategory would not have any posts within it, assuming /my-automotive-article/ is your only post (but this subcategory certainly could have posts if you wanted it to).
If you have this setup and are still getting 404s, try saving your permalinks.
How can I know whether a specific Wordpress url is a page, category or post? I am setting up a website with articles to be categorized similar to that on hawaii.com.
Using this example, if we take the category 'Vacation Packages', we find under it a listing of the various islands. Are these pages or posts? example: www.hawaii.com/oahu/vacation-packages/. Also, is www.hawaii.com/oahu/ a page or post? I realize that this website is structured so that under each island, you can find links to the various categories such as www.hawaii.com/oahu/attractions/ and www.hawaii.com/oahu/accommodations/. How can I create this same structure?
Any help would be appreciated
I used the plugin 'Post Tags and Categories for Pages' instead. This plugin adds the stock WordPress categories for all of your pages. Pages will show up in the stock WordPress archive queries.

I'm kinda new to wordpress and was wondering if I could do the following:
Let's say I have a site for a bakery and in the mainmenu on top there are four links:
Home - About - Products - Contact
Under the page products I would have a number of posts : Bread, cupcakes, ..etc. all of these posts would be categorized under the category products. Now if I go to the products page I want to see only these posts in a sidebar. Therefor I have two questions:
How can I connect this category to this page
How can I show the posts from this category in a sidebar
If anything is unclear please feel free to ask me, also if you would suggest another way of working please let me know.
Much appreciated, thanks!
[EDIT]
I have found that it is better to add a category for this products category instead of a page. Now I'm still looking to display a static post as an intro for this products category.
For connect this category to this page
you can set product to category archive page from
wp-admin/nav-menus.php
you can create a simple page template to list category post
you can use http://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/ plugin and use short code like [catlist name="news"] in you page content.
I have a WordPress blog where users can contribute articles and wiki entries (http://webypedia.com). The blog posts are normal post types. The articles and wiki entries are custom post types. I would like contributors to be able to add new articles and wiki entries, but leave the creation of new blog posts to Admin.
How do I create this kind of restriction?
Currently, out of the box, the contributor can create new post, article, and wiki.
You can change the capabilities of a role, with your own code or with a plugin. Remember to change the capability_type of your custom post types, otherwise you can't make a difference between a regular and a custom post.
