I am using the Post Tags and Categories for Pages plugin for Wordpress 4 which allows me to sort pages into separate category.
I would like to add the page categories to the Wordpress admin menu but am struggling to find any tutorials covering this, does anyone know of a method for doing this or a plugin which can be used.
Appreciate the help
Well you can use a plugin called "Custom post type UI", it will allow you to create custom post types (kind of like pages ) and taxonomies (kind of categories).
Here is a great video tutorial for that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpeTZ3ghjtY

Is there any plugins (or ways) to add maybe 3 or 4 differents affiliates links in my posts automatically ?
I want to add the logo of the affiliate website with a link to the product.
I don't know how to do that.
(Sorry for my english i'm french)
Thank you
If you are comfortable editing PHP, html and css files than you could easily add such functionality yourself via custom fields.
You can add custom fields with product name, link and image url. They can be set as theme options if they are going to be the same or they can be unique per each post if you will assign such custom fields to posts.
Then in single.php template you can output the values and with html markup and some css you can give them any shape and style.
If you don't want to code custom meta boxes for your custom fields yourself, I would recommend Advanced Custom Fields plugin (it has great documentation).
Is there a way to add support for multiple blog page layouts for a wordpress site. I would like to be able to somehow choose
the layout I want for the post as I create/edit the post. I know for the pages scenario, you can create page templates and
just select the one you want from a dropdown. Is there a way to achieve this same functionality for posts and if so, how?
The current site I am working on is using the klasik framework and the themeforest consult-ts template. I do not know if that makes a difference.
Wordpress provides a template hierarchy which gives you the flexibility to create custom layouts for posts, pages, archives, etc. To create a custom layout for a specific blog post, you would name the template single-{post-type}-{slug}.php
You can find out more about the template hierarchy here
So I'm creating a small plugin for Wordpress that will require a custom menu page on the dashboard admin sidebar. I created the function that creates the page and menu with the icon, but realized that it will actually need to be set up like the Posts or Pages menu items where you have the option of switching out the featured image/video.
So it would have the option to see the list of created "posts" or add a new one. I've tried to find a tutorial that at least describes where to go in the codex that describes this, but I'm not finding a tutorial or a location in the Wordpress codex that describes creating something like a "post" or "pages" menu/with the needed sub menus. I would appreciate it if anyone could share a tutorial for this if they found one or the location for this in the Wordpress codex if the actually know its direct location? Thanks!
I am having some problems structuring a Wordpress Website.
Basically this website will have the following pages:
Home
Portfolio
News
Contact
The home will be designed by the index.php, that is no problem. In this page I will show some of the posts that should be in the News and some that should appear in Portfolio.
The pages Portfolio and News should present a list of posts that match this category.
Contact is a normal static page.
My idea was to create a static page for portfolio and for news and to change its theme so I get a list of posts matching this category and handle it. But I found out that this does not work as I thought because pages are not meant to this. For this reason some functions (as the_content) do not work. So I found about Category Templates, which seem exactly what I want.
But now my problem is: my menu is being built automatically and I find it nice. Using the category page template would cause me to need to build it manually, which looks like (for a newbie) a bad smell, once it can be built automatically.
Is the approach with Home->index.php, news and portfolio -> category template and contact -> static page a nice approach?
How would I build the menu in a elegant way with this approach?
Thanks!

I don't think your approach was the best, I would have used page templates to pull the different layout/type of pages and use the front-page.php to create the homepage.
But every dev has his own way, I guess.
I think you can easily solve your problem building the menu with the built-in menu builder of wordpress. You can go in Appearance > Menu if your theme is compatible with that.
Check further documentation here
hope it helps!
cheers
In wordpress you can add static page or categories or any other pages to wordpress menu. For creating menu in wordpress see this links.

In the wordpress reading settings, where you set your "blog" page to post page,
even if I create a custom template for the blog - or add addition text/custom fields etc.
nothing seems to appear....
as far i understood , those will be ignored... as it is set static...
is there a other way, to create a custom page ("blog"), where you can add all those post into this page , style them, add text as well
If you're asking, how can I make a page of posts then there are many answers to this question. I personally ended up using these 2 plugins:
Pages Posts (which lets you present posts of a specific category or tag on a page)
Simply Exclude (Lets you selectively exclude categories and tags from page)
both can be installed via the plugins search
