Imported website has 2 blogs
-
A import of an older wordpress site has left me with blog posts appearing on both homepage and the blog.
What I actually want is to make the homepage a static page, and for the blog to appear under blog. At present I cannot seem to find a way to change the blog from the homepage on the new site.
Any suggestions appreciated.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All pages are at http://knagato1.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
You can create a Page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page and then designate it as a static front page.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.The front page of every site or Home by default is the URL of the site.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/twentysixteen/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo link is there too.
All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.
By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. Create your two pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/A static page (select below)
Front page:
Posts page:Go to http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php and make the required change.
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in the URL above with the actual name of your blog.
Front page displays
Save changes

Please provide the URL of the actual site you refer to because https://knagato1.wordpress.com/ has not been updated since 2013.

@timethief thanks, the website is:
https://wordpress.com/page/testimport595.wordpress.com/18
and the issue occurred after import of another site I had exported. Will I lose any existing blog posts through the above?

I had a site with a statis front page and a separate blog. I then imported the content of one of my other blogs … but that one had a front page blog, which is how I have arrived with duplicate menus .

When i get to this page:
https://testimport595.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
I don’t have an “reading” menu option
And typing the whole url in viz: https://testimport595.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options_reading.php
gave me a “page not found” error.

Thanks, it seems to be good. I would like to give it all a test run over next 24 hours.
Where can I give you an upvote?

Hooray! I ❤️ happy endings.
There is no way to give me an up vote … lol :D I have answered questions here for 11 years. I predate all support docs and all except one support staff member being on Staff. I don’t want to be on Staff so I’m not trying to impress anyone. I am just focused on providing correct answers quickly.
