Posts not in Home page do not appear in 'Recent Posts'
-
I have created a new page and written a new post. This post does not appear in the ‘Recent Posts’ list in the sidebar. Can anyone help please?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Pages and Posts are not the same. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ Only Posts appear in the Recent Posts widget. These are the posts I see displayed there:
Recent Posts
War Time gardening
My Christmas Present To Myself.
A Late Autumn Visit To Beth Chatto’s Garden
A Tale of Two Toads.
Winter Head Gear
If there is published post (not a draft) that’s missing then what is the title please? -
(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusHere’s a link to my post on this http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/07/25/create-a-wordpress-website-step-by-step/
There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

Thanks very much for this Timetheif. The ‘post’ is actually in the page My Garden but, as you point out WordPress doesn’t regard this as a post. Very strange! But I’ll study all of your links very carefully.

You need to create a custom menu and understand what I posted above. There is only one dynamic (automatically updating) page we can post to in any blog and all our published posts appear on it. By default it’s the front page of the blog.
