Blog posts links are opening the wrong post

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have six posts published, and on my home page the post titles and post excerpts show up correctly. But when I click on my last three posts, they all open to my 3rd post. I’ve looked at all of my permalinks, and they look correct. I’m not sure what to do to get the links to go to the correct post. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hey @glockamy, do you still face this issue on a new theme? Btw, which plan are you on?

    I believe someone from the support staff will address your queries as I don’t have access to details regarding your account.

  • Hi there,

    It looks like you’ve edited the Single Post template for your site, and replaced it with the content for one of your posts. So now whenever a page using that template loads (so every post in the single-post view), it will show that content.

    To fix it, go to Appearance ->Editor. Click the template name at the top, and click Browse All Templates. Select the Single Post template.

    Once the template loads you’ll see your content there. Click the template name again, and click Clear Customizations. That will restore the default blocks for the template, which are essentially just placeholders that will display the actual content you created in the post editor.

    Once you do that, each post should show the correct content.

    Let me know if you have any questions about this, or if you run into any trouble.
