How to add a page with a post list
-
Hi,
I’m looking to add a new page with an entire list of all my posts, ever. I’ve looked here http://en.support.wordpress.com/list-pages-shortcode/#using-the-shortcodesAnd I tried [display-posts] but that seems to list only ten posts. Is it possible to make it list ALL posts ever, possibly separated into months?
Thanks!

Use the Archives shortcode in your Page instead. See here:

I tried [display-posts] but that seems to list only ten posts.
That’s not correct: the display-posts shortcode can be used to display as many posts as you like, including all posts. Study the doc more carefully:

As far as I know you can’t separate by month – but you can separate by category. -
Display-Posts is definitely more flexible*, but if all you want is a simple list of all your posts in reverse chronological order, the Archives shortcode can do that easily:
[archives]
That will get you post titles.If you want to have a list by month:
[archives type="monthly"]
That will get you a list of months, like the Archives widget.*If you want to get fancy and add things like a featured image or an excerpt of the post, then Display-Posts shortcode is the way to go.

Display-Posts is more flexible in matters of essence too: for example, you can display all the posts in chronological order, or in alphabetical order.
