  Hi!

  You should see the option at the top of this page:

  https://leratolovesfood.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  It seems to be appearing correctly for me as shown here:

  Can you double-check on your side? It looks like you have a page titled “Home”, which you’ll likely want to use as your front page. You may want to also create a page titled “Blog” or “Posts” to set as your posts page. This is the page where all of your blog posts will be shown.

  Just a note, we have some instructions here including screenshots if you have any trouble!

  Set the Homepage

  Hello! Thanks so much. I have sorted it out now. I have my static page as home page up and running. Now the issue to do with attaching posts to individual pages such as Food, Lifestyle, TV and and Contact.

  I was hoping that food posts can be accessed under food…even though all latest posts will be in the blog page. I also do not know how to create the contact page. I will like to publish my website today so i will remove the menus that are empty until i learn what to do.

  I also want to remove my profile which is displayed below every post. My profile is already on the side bar so it is unnecessary having it after every single post.

  Please help!

  I was hoping that food posts can be accessed under food…even though all latest posts will be in the blog page.

  The easiest way to do that would be to setup category pages as explained here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Can you give that a try?

  I also do not know how to create the contact page.

  We have steps on how to set that up here!

  I also want to remove my profile which is displayed below every post. My profile is already on the side bar so it is unnecessary having it after every single post.

  We can do that with a bit of custom CSS. Can you copy and paste this code under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS?

  div.authorbox.cf {
  	display: none;
  }

  Hi Lerato.

  We have a Social Media Icons widget that you can add to your site’s sidebar or footer:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/social-media-icons-widget/

  Additionally, you can enable sharing buttons to appear at the bottom of each of your post. Our guide here walks through the steps you need to take to enable these:

  Add Social Share Buttons

  Hope that helps! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any extra questions around that.

  Hi,

  Many thanks for your help! Okay I’m stuck again I’d be really grateful if anybody could help with this one…

  I have written a new draft A World Wide Plate and I am trying to add the 3rd image in my media library to it but it displays too small when I preview it when I want it to display as large as the main picture.

  What am I doing wrong?

  Hi!

  I’m checking out the draft of that post here:

  https://leratolovesfood.wordpress.com/?p=464&preview=true

  Are you referring to this main image on the post?

  Could you clarify what you’re trying to edit about the post? I’m not sure I quite understand.
