blog landing page – v – static front page – assist request

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi all,

    We have a page in our menu , ‘BLOG’ – this is where our blogs will live.

    However, we want the landing page to be a different page , ‘US’.

    When we set the new static front page to ‘US’ and then try to select the ‘BLOG’ page for blogs . . . that page isn’t in the list!

    How can we set this up?

    Muchos in advance.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You have to set up a new blank page, called “blog” (or whatever you like) in order to select it as your blogging page.

    Set the Homepage

    As of this minute, you now have two pages called blog. You need to call your static page “Us” instead.

    Brill – cept now we have 2 x ‘BLOG’ tabs!

    The original – when viewed in the menu structure – when you click the down arrow – states ‘custom’ when all the others say ‘page’.

    It also shows a URL which the others don’t.

    Are we being stooopid?

    Choose “Us” for your static page.
    Choose your new “Blog” page as blogging page.

    Did that – at least we used the menu custom tools to set the front page as ‘US’ – is that correct?

    Or is there another way to define a static page?

    Many thanks so far.

    Get rid of the custom menu for now.
    Oh, please read the link I gave you. This must be done, not on a custom menu, but like so:
    dashboard—>settings—>reading—>choose your static page and then your blog page—>save

    did read the link and have checked reading setting agree with theme customisation.

    we were concerned that the url appeared in the original ‘BLOG’ menu structure – so is is deffo ok to delete that menu item?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes, you have it now. You can rearrange the order of the pages to your liking in custom menu.

    we deleted the title of the cusom menu page so it does not appear as a selectable tab.

    massive thanks.
