I have created few static web pages for my small coaching institute using WordPress.

We have three faculty and I want that each faculty should have their blog. So I want http://myinstitute.com/faculty1 as a blog of Faculty 1, and Faculty2 and Faculty3 respectively for each faculty. And I want this to integrate on my WordPress site.

Also I want that all post should NOT club under one head of coaching institute.

Is it possible using simple customization, and if yes, how?
If not by simple customization, then what all changes need to be done?

If the thing is that: though it's a complete blog of an Institute, it'd be a simple one category blog with many posts under that category, then my solution is very simple:

Idea: Create a category for each of the institute like: "Institute 1", "Institute 2", "Institute 3" etc. Then instruct your Institutes to blog their posts under their respective category. So then your posts are sorted by the Institute # categories.

Implementation: Now create a Page Template for each Institute. Create a new PHP file with:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Institute 1
*/

$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
$args = array(
                'category_name' => 'institute-1', //use category slug, not name
                'order' => 'DESC', // Sort as LIFO
                'orderby' => 'date', // To find out the latest post
                'paged' => $paged //for pagination
);

$query_blog = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if( $query_blog -> have_posts() ) : ?>
    <?php while( $query_blog -> have_posts() ) : ?>
    <?php $query_blog -> the_post(); ?>
        <article id="post">
            <h2 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
            <div class="post-desc"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
        </article>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Save the page naming Template-Institute-1.php. Add a New page from wp-admin, and choose the Template from the sidebar named: "Institute 1". Save the page and make a menu link for the page.

Now the page will be simply a blog page for the "Institute 1" category. It'll display all the posts from the category "Institute 1".

Just repeat the process for each of the blogs/institutes and make some more static pages as blogs. But remember to change the two things in each time:

  • The template name at the very beginning: Template Name: Institute #, and
  • The 'category_name' => 'institute-#', inside the $args array
