Log into the admin section and go into “settings->reading”. Change “Front page display” to “A static page” and for the “Posts page:” choose your blog page.
Hi, Thanks for the comment. I had already done that. My front page was selected with ‘A static page’ and my Posts page selected to my ‘Blog’ page. However, when my Posts page is selected to my ‘Blog’ page the blog gets redirected to my index.php
Actually, I apologize. When you do what I mentioned, WordPress ignores all page templates and forces the index.php file to be used. And this makes sense since you already had these settings in place. Do the opposite of what I said and set that field back to “— Select —“. Then you’ll use your page template instead.
Yes, that’s what I had to revert back to. The default –Select– option is currently in place but I can’t seem to get any posts to display on the Blog page :/ I was thinking it may have to do with my PHP??
Ok… please show the code. 🙂

Thanks for the help, wpismypuppet. Just resolved the issue.
UPDATE:
There were a couple similar situations posted on this board so I made similar adjustments based off of those situations. Did no modifying to the PHP.
I made a backup of my index.php file and saved it as index-backup. I copied my _blog.php template file and pasted the entire file in place of my original index.php file and continued to save the file as index.php. I set my reading settings for ‘Posts page’ to ‘Blog’ which was my original Blog template. Because of the redirect the blog page now displays correctly with all posts.
Hope this can help others as well.
Glad you were able to solve the issue! You should mark this as “resolved” so other people know it’s fixed. Thanks.
