    (@simon3schmitz)


    This may seem like a pretty daft question, but since I don’t want my blog posts to appear on the front page, I am wondering where else they will appear? No blog menu, posts cannot be linked to a page (or can they?) – where is the home for the blog?
    Thanks!

  • Create a blank Page called Blog (or whatever).

    Go to Customiz’it! > Front Page
    Front Page can point to either a Static Page or your Latest Posts. So there are a few combinations that can be set (Home & Blog refer to Pages):
    1) Front page displays: Don’t show any posts or page
    2) Front page displays: your latest posts =Displays posts
    3) Front page displays: A static Page
    Posts page: –Select–
    Front page: –Select– =Displays posts
    4) Front page displays: A static Page
    Posts page: –Select–
    Front page: Home =Displays static page
    5) Front page displays: A static Page
    Posts page: Blog
    Front page: –Select– =Displays posts
    6) Front page displays: A static Page
    Posts page: Blog
    Front page: Home =Displays static page

    Option 6 is probably what you’re looking for.

    Hello there 🙂

    Is it possible to have both: blog displayed as static page and last blog posts still appearing (and appealing :)) on home page?

    Try Option 5, but Blog will only appear once on Front Page which is what I think you mean

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to implement suggestion 5 or 6, but I don’t have the option of selecting ‘Home’ under ‘Front page’.

    Can you help?

    Thanks

    Home is just an example static page name I used. You can point to any static page, eg Sample Page, My Static Page etc that you need to create in Dashboard>Pages>Add New

    Hi rdellconsulting,

    Really appreciate all the help you give out to people on this forum, me included!

    I’m looking to have the standard frontpage (with slider and three featured pages section) and then a separate ‘News’ section that will display the posts.

    When I change the ‘posts’ page to ‘News’ in the WP settings it then mucks up the front page.

    Any thoughts?

    in the WP settings

    You don’t need to be in the WP settings – do it from Customiz’it! with Option 6 (static page) above.

    Create a new Page (Dashboard>Pages>Add New) and call it Home or whatever. Edit that Page to add any content or leave it blank if you don’t want anything beneath the 3 circles.

    Sorted!
    Thanks

    Hi rdellconsulting, wondered if you can help as I’ve tried all the combinations you gave above and none seem to quite give me what I’m after!
    I need the normal homepage with slider and blobs then the blog post excerpts underneath. But then I also want a 2nd page that lists just the post excerpts. Is this possible?

    Just tried it and it doesn’t seem to work, as you must have found.

    I’ll flag it to Nic, though it seems a bit of a strange combination…

    Hi there,

    I am also having the same issue. I have tried all the above combinations, but it seems I can only have one or the other.

    I would like to have the recent posts on the homepage, and I would also like the posts on a blog page… but it seems that I can’t have both. http://www.wisdom-ink.com

    Thank you in advance!
