Hi, I have a problem to set up the blog part. First – I made a custom template as the static front page (slug=honepage) and it works. Second – I made a new page (slug=blog) and published it but this page doesn’t work. When i navigate to the “blog” it’s empty. Where are all my blog posts?

I have change my permalink structur into year-month-postname (/%year%/%month%/%postname%/). WP is located in the root and i use vers. 3.0.

In every tut i have read it seems so easy to set a static front page with a working blog, and working with wp hasn’t be problematic before. What do i have to do to make my blog to appear correct AND still have a static fron page?

Tnx in advance =)

Kindly Lillan

Jacki I know what your asking because I just spent this week looking for a work around and I believe I have found it. The Home button is hard wired in the code and has to be deleted. I would make a static page called home and it would show up twice or call it say about and the I would have 2 buttons that would go to the same place…

well the answer is in the header.php and the code that you would be looking for is Home
Once you delete this one it will be gone..

hope that helps

I have the same problem. I read your suggestion re the menu display but I don’t understand it. All I want to do is have some content on the front page that is a static welcome. I don’t want the title showing up in the menu, just set so that when people click “home” or when they first arrive at the site they go to the static home page with my welcome content. Where do I set a “custom title”? Which “list” do I exclude it from? How do I exclude it? What am I excluding?

If you can answer these questions and solve my problem I’ll love you forever!

Re : “You don’t need a blog on your front page”

Does this work with WordPress version 2.5.1 ? I can’t find anything about ‘reading settings’in this newer version.

@Susanna: These screenshots were taken in 2.5 …I can assure you this feature is there. Go to example.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php with example.com being your WordPress URL.
