 * what is in your page template?
    did you follow the instructions in the codex:
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates)?
   do you have a page (with the title ‘Blog’) that is using the Blog.php template?

 * **yes, I have a page with the title “Blog” that is using the Blog.php template.
   The blog.php is based on index.php. The code is here:**
 * <?php
    /* Template Name: Blog */ ?>
 * <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id=”rightcol”> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class=”post”> <div class=”bigform”
   > <div class=”smallform”> <h5 class=”articletitle”>” title=”Permalink to <?php
   the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h5> <span class=”post-meta”><?php the_time(‘
   F j, Y’); ?> | filed under <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php comments_popup_link(‘
   0 Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?></span>
 *  <?php the_content(‘ ‘); ?>
 *  </div>
 *  <div id=”readmore”>
    <span class=”post-footer”>” title=”Continue Reading <?php
   the_title(); ?>”>READ MORE
       [TOP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-write-blogphp-template/?output_format=md#top)
   </span>
    </div>
 *  </div>
    <div class=”formbg”> </div>
 *  </div>
 *  <?php endwhile; ?>
    <div class=”navigation”> <div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘«
   Older Entries’) ?></div> <div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer
   Entries »’) ?></div> </div> <?php else : ?> <h2>Not Found</h2> <p class=”center”
   >Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p> <?php include (
   TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?> <?php endif; ?> </div>
 *  <div id=”leftcol”>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?> </div>
 *  <div id=”contentbg”>
    </div> <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * **But the page display like this: [http://raincao.com/diaries/](http://raincao.com/diaries/)**
 * How to show all my post in this page?

 * you could change the settings in ‘admin’ ‘settings’ ‘reading’ -> blog pages shown
   at most: -1 (that should show all posts in the page).
 * or edit Blog.php and add the line with query_posts():
 *     ```
       <div id="rightcol">
       <?php query_posts($query_string . '&posts_per_page=-1'); ?>
       <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       ```

 * yes, I tried this, but it doesn’t work. The Blog page still display like this:
   [http://raincao.com/diaries/](http://raincao.com/diaries/)
 * I tried to change the “Setting” > “reading”, but it still doesn’t work. I have
   no idea what the problem is.

 * hi, I think the Blog page works fine now. I changed the page template to default,
   then it returns to normal.
 * But now the problme is when I add the Home.php for my font page, the blog page
   meets trouble again. Do you know how to write Home.php in right way? Thanks.
 * Here is my code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Home
        */
       ?>
