Hello,

My issue is quite straight forward, but I'll try to explain as clearly as possible.

Examples I'm using...
Imagine I have 4 categories: Blue, Red, Water and Soda.

My goal:
I want to make 2 URLS:
> example.com/colours/
> example.com/drinks/

How do I do this?
So far I've only setup a menu item with "frontpage" with all the categories in 'example.com/colours'. Each blog post always has the prefix URL 'examples/com/colours/...' but I want to make another blog section as explained above based on different categories with a different URL.

Please let me know what I can do, and thanks!

Best wishes,
Zak.

Hello Anthony,

Assuming that you have 4 categories, you could create a menu item that links to the Single Category layout for each of these categories and give them an alias of your own for the menu item.

This way, you'll be able to get results like:

example.com/blue/title
example.com/red/title
example.com/water/title
example.com/soda/title

Good idea!

I guess I could make all the categories into sub-categories too. I'm going to give this a go and send you feedback once it's working, after which I'll set the answer to resolved.

Thanks!
