how to get blog-page instead of just 2 blog-messages?

    In the menu I have a menu-item ‘blog’ which shows all my blog-posts
    In the homepage I have the blog as one of the 3 featured page’s as supported by the EDIN-theme. I somehow changed this to show the most recent post and a link to the previous one.

    2 Questions:
    – How can I change the featured page back to the orginal (not showing posts, but a summary)
    – How can I get the featured page to show ALL my blog posts?

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

    Hi there,

    Currently, this is what I see on your site:
    https://cldup.com/w5DarS9sox.png

    Your posts page (Stoel) is featured on the front of the site in the Featured Page Two area.

    How can I get the featured page to show ALL my blog posts

    The theme is designed to show only one post when the posts page is featured. It will not show all posts.

    I somehow changed this to show the most recent post and a link to the previous one.

    Did you fix this? I do not see a link to the previous post in the middle section there.

    Hi, Thnx for your reply and the answer to the first question.

    Indeed I managed somehow to change the featured blog-section back again using some renaming.
    I now have 3 type of blogs:
    – A – a blogsection showing one post (and a link at to the bottom to a previous post) as the 2n featured page picture.
    – B – a blog section describing my blog (with a handmade link to the blog itself)
    – C – 5 recents posts of my blog in the footer section

    I still wonder:
    – how/where to adopt the B-type into the A-type
    – how to get blog posts (or at least the most recent one) nicely visible in type B (instead of a handmade link)

    – how/where to adopt the B-type into the A-type

    Let’s look at the specific pages you are featuring:

    The stoel page is the one that displays all of your blog posts. You can only have one of these per site, so it is not possible to have the same format automatically applied to another featured page.

    – how to get blog posts (or at least the most recent one) nicely visible in type B (instead of a handmade link)

    The read more links on the front of the site are automatically generated by the theme. You do have a link on this page, but it doesn’t appear on the front page because the front page will not display links that are added into the page content. The front page will only show text.

    Have you considered not using the featured pages, and instead using a combination of widgets on the front page?
