  Since re-designing my website, my blog has disappeared. How do I get it back please?

  With thanks,

  Melonie

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

  Since it seems you only have static pages on your website, did you set up a separate page for your blog posts?

  If you used a Custom Menu in the redesign, did you include that posts page in the menu?

  Hi Jennifer,
  Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
  How do I include that posts page in the menu?

  Thanks,

  By default the posts page is the front page of your site. If you set your site’s front page to a static page, you do need to assign an empty, published page for your blog posts. Then in Settings>Reading you need to indicate that is the page where your blog posts will appear. Remember to save your changes.

  If you used a Custom Menu, https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ you can then go to Dashboard>Appearance>Menus and add the posts page to the existing menu.
