  Help! My blog posts no longer appear under my header ‘blog posts.’ I can see on my dashboard as to what has been published, so I know they are still there. How do I get them to go back again.

  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/

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/affinity and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.

  Are you asking how to create a custom menu? See:

  Note that:
  Affinity has Panels. Each “panel” is a standard page. To add additional panels to your Front Page, follow these steps:

  Hi wonderingandwondering,

  I’ve had an existing blog since February. This afternoon they all disappeared.

  At the moment your front page is displaying the latest posts. Would you like two separate pages for Home and Blog? I can see you have already created a page called Home with a thank you message.

  It sounds like you want the Blog link in the menu to display a list of your posts — but correct me if I’ve misunderstood.

  Once I know for sure, I can help you out.

  Correct. I want “blog” to have all the posts (51+) that I’ve already posted, and can now only see on my dashboard.

  Thanks!
