    Hi there,
    You can go to Themes–>Customizer–>Menu
    You have to by default the Front Page shows latest pages,
    you can select Projects, change the Menu Item to Custom Link, and in the URL field you can just put / (Thats a forward slash)
    and the Label as Projects, it should work for you.
    This guide could help you to manage your Menu items
    Menu items

    Hope this helps, let us know if you need any further help..!

    Hi again,
    Sure I can help you with this, so if you look into the Support page
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

    1)Firstly you have to create a new Blog Post, for example in your case you want to add a Section, Drawings and one more section as Stories.

    So you have to create Posts for Drawings and Stories.
    While publishing the Posts, make sure you assign them Categories, or add the needed categories as Drawings and Stories , (as you have mentioned those are you point of interests too) .

    The guide here will explain you how to do it with your screenshot
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/#step-1-publish-a-post-with-a-category

    Also as you dont have the categories Drawings and Stories, you can create the categories from the Right hand side of the section on the Publish Post Screen.

    So the next time you create more Posts for Drawings or for Stories you can just assign the respected category to them.

    2) Add the category Menu item,
    Now on the Menu tab, you need to add the respected pages, so you can add the new Menu category items ie Drawings and Stories to you Menu and assign them the respected category.
    This guide will help you with the screenshot and instructions with it
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/#step-2-add-the-category-menu-item

    So now in the Menu items you will have 2 more tabs as Drawings and Stories.

    3) Now you can simply test the New category pages and the blogs you added, if the right blogs were added to the right category page, in your case that is Drawings and Stories will have the Blog posts which you assigned to them while publishing them.
    Here is the guide for it https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/#step-3-test-the-new-category-page

    Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions.

    I successfully changed classic pages to Category pages. But now I have another problem. Visit my page, below “A little bit of everything” and next to “Contact” there is just text from latest post from Category Page. On classical page, I had ability add a featured image and a little bit about that page, as such you can see on Contact and About page. Is that possible with Category Pages?

    HI,
    So am not sure if you added a Category Page, as if you add a new category page it appears in the Menu have a look at this link

    https://pavanraheja.wordpress.com/category/recettes/

    The recettes is a Category page with the blogs which are selected as Recettes category. So it shows the featured Image and some content, which you can manage as well.

    Now to you specific question, you are mentioning the Home Page, it seems to be a Static Page , you can manage that from
    Themes–>Customizer–>Theme Options

    There you can have three featured images too, you have to set that up. On the right hand side it gives you an option
    Front Page Featured Image One , Front Page Featured Image Two, Front Page Featured Image three.
    You can select the respected pages and the featured image will appear.

    To know more about it here is your Themes Page, which will help you configure your theme with more details,
    https://wordpress.com/theme/edin

    On this page in the mid section it mentions about the Static Front page and point number 6 mentions having three featured images, so the third featured image can appear.

    Hope this helps, let me know if you need any further information…!

    Regards

    I did exactly as the link said, I’m just wanting to know how to change featured img and details about page on Category Page, since it’s not shosing on my Pages section between blog post and Media

    Hi Again,
    I am sorry, but i dont understand your question correctly,
    I'm just wanting to know how to change featured img
    Which featured Image do you want to change ? Can you point it out on the specific section and the specific page ?

    details about page on Category Page, since it's not shosing on my Pages section between blog post and Media

    I dont see any category page added, you have to add a Category Page and it should appear in your Menu section , you have to go to Themes–>Customizer–>Menu

    Also as you say you have a Category Page, I dont see it yet…! Add a Menu item and select it as a category page and assign the specific category.
    So if you can detail a little better , we could assist you further. Sorry about being little tough, but unless we understand totally, we can then figure out the solution.

    Regards

    I’ve added two Category Pages. In the upper right corner, there is a menu button. When you click it, menu pops up. Category Pages I added as I read on the link you provided are called Projects and Blog. First thing I said about featured image is this. When you visit the blog, below A little bit of everything and right of Contact is a reference to Category Page “Projects”. I dont know how to put image there as you can see on Contact and About Pages (that are not Category, just classic pages). Second thing I’ve said, about details, is that I don’t know where can I change excerpt of the Category Page. So far, I only know how to add posts to it, but I have not understood how to customize a Category age with Feat. img and Excerpt. It’s okay, I am irritating myself too of my ununderstanding..

    HI again,
    Thank you so much for the details, appreciated,
    FIRST QUESTION
    So on the front page,
    the third section leads to this link https://stevaweb.wordpress.com/category/blog/
    which is from your category page Blog, here for this specific Post, you need to assign a Featured Image, this will guide you how to assign a Featured Image for the Post
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/
    SO if the correct featured image is applied and the theme options are selected correctly the Third Featured Image can be managed.

    SECOND QUESTION
    You can manage the category page same as any other Page, so for your question to manage the Excerpt it depends on the theme you can try adding posts and featured images and see how it looks and how comfortable you are with them here is some information on excerpts,
    but you also have an option to Control your Excerpt, you can exactly manage how much content you want to display using the More Tag, here is more information about the More Tag
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/

    Hope this can help you better, thank you again for detailing it out.
    Please do let me know if you have any further questions..!
