Blog Posts
-
Hello-
I don’t understand why my blog posts are posting in backwards order (oldest are first). Also, is there a way to have just a summary and show multiple posts on one page?
Thank you! -
It seems to be working properly at https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/blog-feed/
Were you able to address this?

Hm. When I click your link, it takes me to my most recent post.
But when I look under “my site”, or just on a web browser, the oldest still comes first, and I have to scroll to the end of the first post and click to see the second.Strange!
Ultimately, I’d like to make the Blog post page look like this:
https://tatumbeynon.wordpress.comI am not wordpress savvy. Is there a video tutorial you know of?
Thank you for your time and knowledge!

Where exactly are you seeing oldest posts first?
At the moment you only have two published posts on https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/, and when I view your posts page at https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/blog-feed/ it shows https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/2020/01/31/decisions-decisions-decisions/, published yesterday, first, and https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/2020/01/07/welcome-to-my-blog/, published on 7 January second, so it’s showing the most recent at the top as it’s supposed to.
If I look at your list of published posts in My Sites, at https://wordpress.com/posts/keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog, I see the same.
Can you tell us exactly where you’re seeing them listed in the wrong order?
The only way to have a post display out of order is if you marked it as sticky. That would force it to always display at the top of the posts page, regardless of its publication date. You have one sticky post on your site at the moment, titled Keeping My Perspective, but that post is currently still a draft, so not visible on your posts page at all.
Ultimately, I’d like to make the Blog post page look like this:
https://tatumbeynon.wordpress.comTo have your blog page look like that you’ll have to switch to the Independent Publisher 2 theme that site is using. The theme controls how content on a site is displayed, and the Mayland theme you’re using has its own way how it styles the posts page.
The theme has no effect on the order in which posts are displayed, though, as that’s a core feature of WordPress itself.
I am not wordpress savvy. Is there a video tutorial you know of?
We have a tutorial site that gives an overview of how WordPress.com works at https://wordpress.com/learn/, and we have a number of video tutorials on how to do some specific things on your site at https://en.support.wordpress.com/video-tutorials/

Hello-
Thanks for the information! I see them in reverse chronological order in two ways:I go to WordPress
Click on “My Site”
Click on the home icon to “view keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog”I see my main page
I click on “Welcome to my….Blog”
The post I see is the first post I made. I have to scroll down and click “Next Post” to see the more recent post.
ALSO
I open a new browser
Put in “https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog”
Click on “welcome to my….Blog”The post I see is the first post I made. Again, I have to scroll down and click “Next Post” to see the more recent post.
I would assume that anyone who clicks through to see the blog from the main page would see the most recent one. I don’t understand why it is the opposite for me.

Thanks for clarifying why I cannot have the blog posts as a different style. Bummer. And thank you for sharing the videos. I’ve watched the ‘learn’ one before, but I guess just don’t find WordPress to be very intuitive!-Cassie

I click on “Welcome to my….Blog”
Are you speaking of the link in your menu? Clicking that opens your oldest post, because that menu item is a direct link to your oldest post. It’s not a link to the posts page containing all your posts, and only shows that one single post, no other posts.
Check the URL after you click that link: It takes you to https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/2020/01/07/welcome-to-my-blog/, not to https://keepingupwithcassie.travel.blog/blog-feed/
So you’ve added a single post to your menu.
To fix that, open the Customizer and edit your menu. Remove that link from the menu. Then click on Add Items ->Pages, and select the page titled Blog Feed. Then publish those changes. That will add the page showing all your posts to the menu.
