  Website is stuck in this mode no matter which theme I use. It does not display the data shown like in the pictures before you download the theme this has been stuck like this for a few days. I’ve already tried reinstalling WordPress and the themes several times with not change. How can I fix this? A link to a screenshot of my page is below.

  Hello There,

  Would you mind giving a link to your site? I’m wondering if you are using a WordPress.ORG site not a WordPress.COM site since you talk about reinstalling WordPress as a troubleshooting measure.

  If you are using a self-hosted WordPress.ORG site you’ll want to head to https://wordpress.org/support/.

  If you are using WordPress.com a link to your site will help me troubleshoot with you.

  Hey dustin255, let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this for you!

  Can you navigate to Theme, and then Customize? From there, select Static Front Page, and make sure your site is set to a static page, and not your latest posts.

  More information on that can be found here:

  Set the Homepage

  If you do not see this option, it might be because your theme does not support a static front page.

  If you need any further assistance here, feel free to follow up below and share the URL of your site.

  Hope this helps!

  Hello,

  Just to clarify what you’re asking: are you wanting to stop your front page from showing blog posts and instead show static content? If so, you can do that by going to Personalize->Themes and clicking the “Customize” button there. Once you do that, go to the “Static Front Page” section and change it to “A static page”. That page will be something you can build and won’t show your latest post.

  If that doesn’t work for you, or you’re trying to do something else, let us know the address of your site and provide more details and we’ll see what we can do to help!
