Where did you download “righthand” theme from?
What happens if you momentarily switched to the default theme withh all plugs deactivated?

Theme was built, or modified, by someone I hired.
when you say, “default” theme, you mean same theme but with all plugins off?
Should I leave Reading settings the same, or set to have blogs on front page?
I’m going to try to turn off all plugins. Probably should have started there.
Thanks for reply.

Still no blog posts showing under designated page for blogs when all Plugins are off.
Default theme means twentytwelve or twentythirteen – as that helps determine if it’s a problem with your theme.

Correction: The original blog post Page was, “http://righthandplanning.com/news” when I noticed today this was not showing blog posts I made a new page at righthandplanning.com/marketing-news.
The previous page had been showing posts going back a year or more. Don’t know when it stopped before noticing today.
Neither page is showing blog posts now so moving on to other solutions.
Regarding theme queries – from the Index file it looks like my designer was working from 2011 theme.

“The page isn’t redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”
I’m looking at these two threads as potential solutions – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-page-not-showing-posts-1?replies=10
and
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-posts-not-showing-up-on-blog-page?replies=26
Unless anyone sees why my situation might be different. Btw, I don’t know the code side well, but can follow basic directions. I’m not sure why renaming Index and blog pages with redirects might solve issue (so keep it simple for me, please!) but maybe this is what’s needed?
Thank you for the responses and I’ll update as I go…

One of the solutions from the second link above says to copy the code that starts “<?php if(have_posts()): while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>…” from page.php to index.php, but my page.php doesn’t have this code.
On the original page where I had the posts, http://righthandplanning.com/news – I get the redirect message. When I set the blog posts to be on the new page I created, http://righthandplanning.com/marketing-news, it shows a default WP blog page with the generic message, “WordPress is web software…”
So two different symptoms, but still no blog posts showing…

Restored htaccess file and removed redirects and turned off Redirection plugin. This got the original posts page righthandplanning.com/news to stop redirecting and to show the blank, default wordpress page.
I’m going to restore a backup.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be welcome and could still help if the restoring a backup doesn’t fix it, and might help others who are having the same issue.
Thanks
Have you tested on a default theme?

When I selected a default theme to try, the preview window didn’t even show a preview, just a blank white page in the preview area, so I chose not to Activate it. Didn’t want to make anything worse.
I tried selected 2011, 2012 and 2013 and none of them showed a preview, just blank space.
I know in theory it should be possible to go back to your previous theme and not lose any settings, but since it couldn’t even display a preview I was not confident the Activation would go well.
if anyone has seen the preview not work, but a theme to still Activate ok – and be able to go back to the previous theme – I might give it a try.
Thanks for following up on that.
