    Hi! so what I’m trying to do is make a static front page without making my homepage aka my blog page disappear. Now, every time I set my static front page, my blog page which is named my ‘home’ disappears and I can’t link nor can I even locate it on my website. Is there anyway that can transfer my blog posts to a different page?? Please help!! (BTW: Theme I’m trying to use is Sela)

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

    You don’t understand what static front page means. This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
    (1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.

    (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

    By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. Create your pages first
    Front page:
    Posts page:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

    A static page (select below)
    Front page:
    Posts page:

    Thank you or this,

    now I’m trying to do what the video of the static page is telling me, but my posts still aren’t showing up and now, every time I create a page, it doesn’t show up on my actual website

    Hi @somegirloffline, someone recently flagged this for staff attention. Were you able to resolve this on your own?
