If you have a lot of blog posts in your MemberVault account, and want to organize them into different topics, our search feature in MemberVault makes it easy to do so!
Here is how you can set this up:
Each time you create a new blog post in MV, include a hashtag with the topic (or topics) that post relates to: i.e. #Tutorials or #ResourcesforCourseCreators. The topic names are up to you -- using the hashtag helps filter out the search results so you're only seeing posts and not seeing a list of lessons or pages that include "Tutorials" for example.
In your admin dashboard, navigate to "Settings" - "Blog" - "Sidebar Settings" - "CTA Content." Post a list of topics into your CTA content:
Copy one topic at a time into the search bar in a separate tab on your public MV site to pull up the URL of the search results. (Make sure that "admin" is not included in the link.) An example link looks like: https://www.projectsewingvault.com/posts/?search=%23ResourcesForOurBrides
Copy and paste that link back into your topic list under your CTA Content in your editing tab. Now when your site viewers see the list of topics, they can click the link and navigate to a list of posts that include the hashtag topic.
Repeat the same process for the next link until you have all of your blog topics linked in your sidebar.
Here is an example of a completed topic menu:
