  I created a separate page for my posts, however when I link my posts to that page, it only links with a simple blue text link. I’m trying to get the posts to link with an excerpt and picture as they do on the homepage. Does anyone know how to do this? I’m very new and inexperienced with web design. Thank you for your help!

  hi,

  This is what I suggest:
  1. Create a page with the display posts short code.

  Display Posts Shortcode

  [display-posts image_size="thumbnail" include_excerpt="true"]
  The above shortcode will include both the featured image and the excerpt.

  2. Add the above page to your menu

  Let us know if you have more questions.

  I’m currently using the display posts short code to do something similar. Now, I’m trying to figure out how to customize the div wrapper so that the posts headline and excerpt are displayed in a more appealing way:

  For example, the https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/ does not show how to separate the headline from the excerpt.
