Help with getting post under Home page
-
Forgive me for asking such a ridiculously easy question. I know there is something I am just completely missing. Everything I read says that blog posts automatically default to the Home page. However my first post did not. In fact, if you go to my link you can see it, but then if you click on “Home” it disappears. I would like for my Home page to be the blog posts page. I would also like to put this particular post under “Recipes” page. Could anyone help guide me? Thank you so much!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi.
You have a few different things going on here, so I’m going to take them one by one.
First – the “home” link taking you to a blank page:
It appears that you created a new page called “Home”. When you click on the home link (and see the blank page) you’ll notice that the URL for the page is /home-2/. You’ll want to go into your list of pages and delete the blank Home page that you made there. WordPress will create the homepage automatically, so you don’t need a page called home.
Your menu is linking to that new /home-2/ page and not the default home page. Once you delete /home-2/, you can go into your menus panel and add “Home” back in again and it will take you to the homepage with all of your blog posts.
Second – Adding the Blueberry post to the recipes page
You’ll want to edit the blueberry post and add a recipes category to the post. Then, in your menu settings, you’ll want to make the link for recipes point to the category page for recipes.
This link will show you how to add categories to your blog post: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
The second half of this page addresses adding a category page to your menu: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
Hope this helps. If not, let me know and we can troubleshoot some more.
