  In the last couple of weeks I have been unable to access my blog posts prior to December 2016, I would like to reinstate access to these posts both for me and my followers. How do I do this? Ben

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

  Hi Ben,

  I took a look at your site, and I can see your posts prior to December 2016. Therefore, I can’t find out what’s a problem. It should be helpful that you describe more about how you can’t access your posts prior to December 2016.

  Thanks!

  Howdy bmitchell2015!
  When I scrolled down your site benandlynne.wordpress.com ,
  I could see the Posts from December 2016 as well as November 2016 and so on, you can access all your Posts using this Guide Edit Posts Screen
  One suggestion would be to add the Archive Widget
  It would help you users to have a easy access to your older Blogs as well.

  Hope this helps, let us know if you need any further assistance..!

  Regards

  To add to what the other volunteers have said remember that with “Infinite scroll” only 7 posts load at a time and you have to keep using the scroll tab on the right to reach earlier ones. As @pavanraheja says, an Archive widget in a side bar would make it easier to click on previous months/posts.

  Thanks a lot guys and girls for your helpful responses, I have gone back to the blog and now can also see all the posts…previously it would only show me as far back as 2nd Dec 2016…
  I never did profess to fully understand the foibles of computers, I am of a slightly older generation some of whom still struggle with the latest technology but I can assemble a vintage motorcycle engine blindfolded…a skill that is becoming less in demand nowadays!

  Congrats on a great site. An Ariel is out of my reach at the moment. I’m rebuilding a humble Bantam D1. Assembling an engine is a skill you should be proud of.

  Thanks Magic Robot…I am wondering if this actually a British motorcycle forum in disguise as another respondee Pav appears to have a Royal Enfield Bullet!
