How do I get the Posts, News, Blogs Section to look right?
-
When I created my website with the PICTORIAL theme, all the pages are fine except the POSTS NEWS BLOGS page. WordPress did it wrong. When I click on all of my pages from my front page, like ABOUT, the word “ABOUT” comes up and the page is displayed fine. But when I click on POSTS NEWS BLOGS, nothing comes up – the title does not come up and all there is is blank coloured boxes. Only when I put my cursor over the boxes, my posts appear. But anybody visiting my website would see NOTHING on my POSTS NEWS BLOGS page and they would not think of clicking on an empty box and nobody will see my posts or blogs! This is a terrible problem and I need help to fix it or I will have to use another website service!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I understand your problem.
Your POSTS NEWS BLOGS page is your blog page. Blog pages typically don’t have a title.
The Pictorico Theme is designed to display featured images on the blog page and none of your two posts have featured image set. That’s why you see nothing there. So set featured images and you will see them shown there instead of blank space.
To be honest, The Pittorico theme is perfect for photoblogging or a portfolio site. So this theme is not really apt for your kind of content. So I suggest you reconsider your theme selection and pick a suitable one from the Theme Showcase. And here is some advice on how to pick a theme.

Thanks! But it did not work. I did everything you said and nothing appeared on the Posts page. The problem is caused by something else – the posts are actually there on the posts page but they are HIDDEN. When I put my cursor over the coloured box they come up – but nobody would know that unless they are a tech whiz. This problem is not caused by the Pictorial template because other sections like ABOUT come up just fine. The thing is, I am also a photographer and I love the PICTORIAL template but there is a glitch in the posts section. What I believe is happening is that WordPress wants me to upgrade and pay more money so that I can customize that Posts page. Please take a look at my website so that you can see what I mean: http://publicitypromotionexpert.wordpress.com.

I can’t see any posts on your JUICY POSTS, BLOGS & NEWS! page. There’s just a “NO MAN’S LAND! WIN” line on that page.
If you go to my test blog, you will see three rows of posts.
First and third row posts don’t have featured images set on them so they just display blue empty spaces until you place your mouse on the cells. Whereas second row posts have featured images set so you will see them in the grid.
Please don’t hesitate to ask further questions.
I am sorry you felt WordPress.com is wanting you to pay more :-(

Thanks for all your help! I am still trying to figure this out. I actually added a new page with my “juicy posts” – because it is not a regular posting page- that is why only those titles are there and not the full postings. And I took off the regular posts page because it was useless. I will try your option and see if it works.

If “juicy” is one for your categories, then you can display all the juicy posts in a Category Page.
