  Hi there, I have asked this before but I forgot how to do it! The featured article on my blog is not my most recent post, how do I change the settings so that my most recent posts will be the ones first viewed when on my sight?

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

  Hi there,

  Please go to My Sites –> Customize –> Homepage Settings and then select the radio button against “Your latest posts”. By doing this, your recent posts will start to appear at the beginning of your blog.

  Please let us know whether this solves your query. If you still have any doubt, please feel free to revert back. We will be happy to help :-)

  You can remove that featured/sticky post by editing it and unticking “sticky” in post settings on the right. https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/

  Hi there,

  Only you have control over what post is marked as featured or not, by setting it as sticky or not, as per @themagicrobot’s instructions above. Publishing a new post will not make that update automatically, as the whole point of making a post sticky is to force that post to always appear at the top even if a more recent post is published.

  Please make sure you understand a question before you reply. The OP’s site is already showing latest posts on the front page, and they did not ask how to have the front page display latest posts vs a static page, which is what you’re instructions refer to.
