Help! My first try at a website and this issue drove me from Wordpress to Wix, but still can't figure it out even after reading and watching as many tutorials I could find..making me think it must be obvious for those who you w/ experience w/ websites. I'm trying to create a site made up of blog posts that will all be posted on home page, but then also filter to specific pages, depending on content. I've created categories and pages devoted to the different topics, but I can't get a post category to line up only w/ its corresponding web page. I've read the "Custom Feed" info page several times, but still all posts still end up on all pages. Here's the site if that helps....

Hey @mconway012,
you are in the right direction, let me help you out.
1) add the custom feed to the page (as you did), but do not forget to select the specific category of which posts you want to display (now 'All posts' are selected that's why you see all posts):
2) Next, since you already have the site menu with blog categories, you don't need to show double menu (site menu + blog menu). But great news - you can toggle off displaying blog categories menu, please read how to do it here: https://www.wix-blog-community.com/blog/updates/show-or-hide-your-blog-menu. Do not forget to do it in post page settings too (access main Blog settings and click 'Go to Post Page' at the bottom):
Thank you so much! I think I finally got it to work after a lot of trial and error. Which leads to my next question. Looks like I created multiple Custom Feeds as I was figuring it out. How do I kill out the multiple Custom Feeds I created? (posts are appearing multiple times.)
Hi @mconway012,
glad to hear you made it. Could you please share what did you find complicated or confusing along the way? You mentioned that you got it to work after lot of trial and error.
To delete the custom feed, simply click on it (mark it) and then click 'delete' button on your keyboard.

I had a hard time figuring out how the blog function interacted w/ the rest of the site. Also, it took me awhile to figure out the difference between the horizontal menu and the page option in upper left. Whenever I created a blog post, it took me to the post page, so I had the idea that I needed to create a Custom Feed on the "post" page for all of the categories in the horizontal menu. One of the steps on the Wix Custom Feed page talks about dragging the feed to the desired location. I took that to mean when I created a specific custom feed on the "post" page, then I would drag that option to the corresponding horizontal bar menu category.
It also took me some time to figure out where to hover on the page to find the "custom feed" designation. When I figured that out, then I realized I needed to create the Custom Feed on each individual page.
Thank you again for your help! I"m sure I"ll have more questions as I move forward.
