  I did something wrong on the home page and the introduction is duplicated 3 times. How do I remove the duplications without removing the full introduction?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  It appears that you may have been editing the blog template (Index Template) directly in the site customizer here: https://o2mn.wordpress.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php

  Were you trying to customize your blog appearance somehow? I was not able to determine what changes were causing the first post to repeat, so I reset the index template, so the blog feed has reverted to its default behavior (newest post first, older ones after that in date order). It appears the issue of the repeating post has disappeared.

  Is it possible that you were trying to have your intro post “stick” to the top of the homepage so it’s the first thing that visitors see? If so, there is a trick you can use to do this in WordPress by setting your intro post as a “sticky” post.

  If you edit your intro post (to launch it in the Gutenberg (block) editor, you will see the option on the right sidebar. More info here: https://wordpress.com/support/post-and-page-visibility/#sticky-posts-posts-only

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
