  Hi,

  How do I get the posts off the home page
  That’s done by 1. assigning a static page as the homepage, and 2. assigning another page as the posts page. Relevant instructions are provided in the Set a Static “Home” Page (Front Page) support page.

  and have them be a page in the primary menu?
  Once you’ve created a new posts page, add a link to it in the primary menu as described in the Add Menu Items section of the Custom Menus support page.

  Thank you for your response! I have created a static “Home” page and separate page for the posts. But I still can’t get the “recent posts” off the static home page. Any other ideas?
  Thank you!

  But I still can’t get the “recent posts” off the static home page.

  Sorry, I should have recognized that before. Which theme is activated? Unless you can change the template of the static page to one that doesn’t include that feature, then removing it will probably require CSS Customization.

  I’ll call for staff attention regarding CSS Customization. Staff should be able to provide CSS code that will hide that feature.

  You may also start a chat, here.

  Hi there,

  If there is anything you want modified by CSS on your site, you will need to upgrade to at least the Premium Plan:

  However, I do not see Related Posts on your front page anymore but I see that you just changed your Theme. Is everything working well for you now?

  Thanks,

  staff-doublebassd,

  Looks like @katchstudio changed the page template assigned to the static front page, which eliminated the Recent Posts feature. Thanks for the quick response. : )

  For others who might be trying to accomplish the same thing, please see the Template section of the Page Attributes support page. I’d meant to include a link to that previously. However, note that not all themes have optional page templates.
