# Trouble with “Posts page”

 * Hi,
 * Under “Reading Settings” I’ve set up a “Front Page” and “Post Page”.
 * Links to my Front Page and other static pages work fine. However, the Post Page
   doesn’t use the page that is set within “Reading Settings” – if left as unselected
   then the correct page and its template are used. Instead index.php is used to
   show posts!!
 * Can anyone explain what’s happening, please? Is this a bug?
 * Thanks,
 * Paul.

 * I think I have the same problem. I am running 2.7 and have the (Settings > General)
   WordPress Address and Blog Address both set to the root of my website.
 * There is both a Front Page and Posts Page option for a static home page in the
   Settings > Reading section of the WP admin and I set both of them to 2 different
   static pages I have created. The Front Page works, but when I preview the Posts
   Page it just redirects to the page defined as the Front Page.
 * Is there a way to fix this?
 * Thanks

 * Maybe this isn’t the best place for WordPress help.
 * Can anyone point me to a site that provides help? I have to get this resolved
   since it involves our customer websites also.
 * Thanks for any direction.

 * Then you might consider posting a “New Job Request” [1] to have a professional
   work with you, or consider joining and soliciting professional assistance from
   the wp-pro mailing list [2].

 * Ok, thanks.
 * It just seems to me that this is a fairly straightforward question and I’m surprised
   that nobody has an answer for it.
