Latest Blog Posts Page (currently my homepage)

[Cristina Alciati]

Hello again,

I am temporarily using the latest blog posts page as my front page. I love it. Is there a way that I can link to it on the main menu so, eventually, it simply becomes my “latest articles” page?

Thank you in advance and all the best,
Cristina

Hi, Cristina!

If you want to create the Static FrontPage and a separate “Blog” page to show your blog posts
please, follow the instructions from the next article:
http://docs.theme-vision.com/article/how-to-set-up-a-static-homepage/

Important:
After you change your homepage to static, you will lose, your front page boxes. So, to enable the Front-page boxes to appear on your Static Frontpage, you need to open
Customizing ▸ Frontpage Boxes ▸ General menu and set the Visibility on FrontPage.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.

Thank you so much!!

Once I set the Front Page to my future new home page and the blog post page to blog as per your example, how do I link the latter so it appears on the navigation menu?

Thank you again, much appreciated 🙂

Hi,

That is very simple to do:

1. Create a new page for your blog. e.g “Blog” (don’t add any content to it)
2. Add the “Blog” page to your primary menu. (Dashboard->Appearance->Menus… Edit your primary menu and add the “Blog” page to it.)
3. Go to Customizing->General->Static Fron Page menu, and pick your “Blog” page from the “Post Page” drop-down list.
4. Hit the “Publish” button, to save the changes.

Fantastic!! It worked and it’s exactly what I wanted, thank you.
