Title: Help with displaying posts please! Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Help with displaying posts please! * Resolved [the_doctor199](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the_doctor199/) * (@the_doctor199) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/) * Currently my posts are displayed on my homepage, but i’ve decided I want my homepage to be a bit of info about myself and i’ve created a ‘Updates’ page, I was wondering how I can have my posts displayed on this page? * Hope you can help! * Thanks * (My website is shoottothrill.co.uk) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139703) * First you’d need to create custom page template that showed posts: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts) * Then you’d need to set this new page as your front page: * [http://quirm.net/2009/06/12/setting-up-a-static-wordpress-home-page/](http://quirm.net/2009/06/12/setting-up-a-static-wordpress-home-page/) * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139708) * If I understand what you want correctly, then you don’t need to create a custom page template. Just creat a page with a title “Updates”, or whatever you want it called…leave the content empty and publish it. Then go to Settings/Reading and select a Static Frontpage and set it to the page containing info about you… select your “Updates” page as your post page. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139722) * [@figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/): That won’t display his posts – which, I understood, was what he wanted. * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139724) * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/): I understood that he wanted a static (about me) homepage and a link to his posts. If so, then that should do it…maybe I’m misunderstanding. * [shambolam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shambolam/) * (@shambolam) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139739) * esmi, I am having the same issue. Figaro – just because you make a ‘page’ your blog page… it is still behaving as a page. You can write one article for that page allowing comments, but it is not behaving as a blog roll – there is still no way to connect a ‘post’ to a ‘page’ which has been killing me all morning. I am going to check out the esmi links… * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139747) * > Figaro – just because you make a ‘page’ your blog page… it is still behaving > as a page. * Well, I’ve been doing it for a very long time. See the following test site. I have the “Welcome” page set as a static homepage and the “Latest News” **page** shows all my posts. I did it exactly as I described above. Again, unless I’m misunderstanding what you want to do… * [http://educhalk.org/832/steve/](http://educhalk.org/832/steve/) * [shambolam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shambolam/) * (@shambolam) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139757) * figaro, * What version of wordpress are you using. I am currently usine 2.8.1 and can’t make it work at all. see my site [http://www.debtsettlementexplained.com](http://www.debtsettlementexplained.com) and you can see a static page for the ‘landing page’ and I want to make the ‘ In the News’ page my blog.. I have chosen both of those pages (respectively) in the wordpress admin just as instructed but it’s not working. when you type in a new post, do you have to somehow ‘connect’ it to your blog page? I know it’s supposed to work… aaagghhh! * [shambolam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shambolam/) * (@shambolam) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139758) * OK… now it’s working sort of… it’s rolling like a blog but there is no comment box… * [shambolam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shambolam/) * (@shambolam) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139760) * OK – total idiot user error… LOL… I got it working… and feel really stupid… Thanks for stretching me to the obvious! * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139761) * I see a comments link on each of your posts… * EDIT: no problem…glad to help. * Thread Starter [the_doctor199](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the_doctor199/) * (@the_doctor199) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139871) * Thanks for the replies everyone! Just to clear up what im trying to do a little.. * The homepage will just be a bit of a welcome page really rather than containing my posts. I will then create a page called ‘Updates’ and that is where I would like my posts to be displayed. * I just tried what Figaro said, and managed to get the Updates page to display my posts (If only I knew it was that simple – thanks!). My posts are still being displayed on my homepage though, how do I edit the content on it? * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139877) * Try this technique: [How can I have a static front page and posts display on a page called Blog?](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Working_with_WordPress#How_can_I_have_a_static_front_page_and_posts_display_on_a_page_called_Blog.3F) * Thread Starter [the_doctor199](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the_doctor199/) * (@the_doctor199) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139879) * Thanks Michael! I think i’m almost there now! One last thing, after doing that, i’ve now ended up with pages called ‘Home’, is it possible to hide one? * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139885) * Probably have a ‘home’ link hardcoded in your theme’s header.php that needs deleting. * Related: [Stepping Into Template Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Template_Tags) [Stepping Into Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates) [Template Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy) * Thread Starter [the_doctor199](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the_doctor199/) * (@the_doctor199) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-displaying-posts-please/#post-1139888) * It worked!
