How to have 'Blog' as menu item, with static page as Home page?

    This is a bit embarrassing as I am sure it is a super basic WordPress thing but I have been struggling for the last 40 minutes so I figured it’d be quicker just to ask…! It’s been a long day!

    I want a static page as my Home page (easy, done) but I want a ‘Blog’ main menu item with all the posts within.

    The easiest way to do this is obviously to set up a ‘Blog’ category, place everything within and add category to Custom Menu in the back-end, but this adds an ‘Archive of blog category’ at the top.

    I know I can delete this from the category.php but surely there should be a simpler way to do this without having to edit themes etc??

    Esmi thank-you so much! I am now absolutely kicking myself for never having noticed the “posts page” on the Reading Settings. Can’t believe I’ve been faffing around with templates all this time…

    Edario, read that page that Esmi posted again carefully. Note the bit about creating a Blog page and changing it to the default ‘posts page’ under Settings and then you could just drag it into the custom menu under the Menus tab. It works!
