 * Anyone have any idea why this loop isn’t working? Nothing displays and I already
   have several posts:
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php the_content(); wp_link_pages(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Thanks!

 * you might need to add a query before the code;
 * if this is your secondary loop in page.php then probably better use `WP_Query()`–

 * what is the full code of page.php right now?
    and what exactly are you trying
   to achieve?

 * I have created a “Blog” page which I have set to be a static page for the Front
   page to display. I have set the Blog page to the Default Template, which I believe
   is page.php. I simply want my site’s home page to be the blog.
 * The code is as below:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_page() && is_active_sidebar('page-sidebar')): ?>
       <div class="siteColumnLeft clearfix">
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       <div class="separator"></div>
   
       <!-- Content -->
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php the_content(); wp_link_pages(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
       <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_page() && is_active_sidebar('page-sidebar')): ?>
       </div>
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
