For example: Suppose you have a ‘News’ category and a few sub news categories and you want to create a special page showing your news category and its sub category articles on one page which can be accessed from yourwebsite.com/news or something like that. This can be easily done by creating a ‘news’ page and displaying all news category articles via shotcode.
