Blog page title
-
For a website I’m creating for a home business, I have a posts page for a blog section. I am unable to change the title of the page (once you are on the page) to the title of the blog – instead it is defaulting to the name of the website. I would like to change the title of the page to the title of the blog to prevent confusion and to emphasize that it is the blog section, rather than the general website.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
By default the Home page of every site is the URL of the site. And that Home Page or Front page is where all published posts appear.
You can create a Page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page first and then designate it as a page for your posts.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.All support docs are found here https://en.support.wordpress.com/

By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
Organizing posts
You can create a custom menu and include multiple dynamic category pages that automatically display the published posts assigned to the the specific categories in reverse chronological order.Assign categories to posts.
Create a custom menu.
Add the dynamic category pages to into the custom menu.Dynamic category pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ created by the software when we assign categories to posts are also not the same as static pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we create.
You begin by assigning categories https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ to your posts.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

The posts are showing up fine, and in the order I want them to. The issue is that, when you select the menu item for the blog (called “Consider This”), instead of the title of the page showing up (as it does on the other pages – Services, About, Contact, etc.), the title of the overall website shows up. I am trying to alter that element, not the posts or the content within them.
(And the website is personalcollegeadvising.wordpress.com – I’m managing it for my family from this wordpress account)

The theme description page is at https://wordpress.com/theme/libretto and that’s where the set up instructions are found.

Hi there,
Your theme shows the site title on the Posts page, instead of the title for that specific page. It’s how this particular theme is designed to work, and it’s not something that you can change.
You might be able to replace the text with some custom CSS, but that would require a Premium or Business Plan upgrade.
