    Hi

    I have a site made with wordpress, 5 pages, 1 blog.
    In the WordPress settings for Reading, i used set a static page as a front page instead of the blog homepage listing the last 10 posts or so…
    I made a custom menu for the site to navigate through the pages, and I want to add a BLOG button in the menu now, what URL should i use for the Blog?
    Iknow how to link single posts, but is there a URL for the blog Homepage?

    Thanks

    Create a page for the blog, you can call it Blog if you like.
    On the same screen on which you made the static home page, admin / settings / reading set the Posts Page to Blog

    your posts page URL will then be {domain & wp install folder}/blog/

    Thanks man, it work 😉

    I tried other things that should work but didn’t, for info for otheres having same problems,
    in Settings > Reading I did set my static page to a page called FRONT and the blog post pages to a pblank page called BLOG
    and then on Settings > General set URL to site: mysite.com/en (folder of the WP install)
    blog: myste.com/en/blog ….
    The blog worked, but not the static page… 404.

    Dont know why but now the URL links for both SITE and BLOG are mysite.com/en and it works. The plugin WP-Cache also made it tricky so I temporarily desactivated it for the manoeuvre…..

    Cheers again!
