Some posts missing in feed, but not in recent posts widget
-
Hello,
I’ve started a new blog series at http://alex-hurst.com and am having trouble with the main feed on my home page. The Recent Posts widget shows two posts (both starting with “Archetypes” as part of my recent posts, but the posts themselves are not discoverable via my main feed.
Where did I go wrong? :O
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Alex!
It looks like the posts missing from your home page have the tag “Jungian archetypes” which creates a funny situation.
Your theme, Adventure, has a featured content area when you use it’s special Homepage Page Template. Since your front page is displaying all your latest posts, instead of using that page template, it doesn’t really make use of the featured content area.
But, if you open your customizer here:
Click the “Featured Content” tab, you’ll see you have the tag “Jungian archetypes” selected there. Adventure is trying to display those Jungian archetypes posts in your featured content, and nowhere else — but you don’t have the featured content space setup.
If you’ll select the option for “Display tag content in all listings” it will display properly on your home page feed, as well as the featured content area if you ever choose to use it in the future. :)
A little tricky to find! Let me know if you hit any snags.

Oh!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That did the trick. Funny how I ended up hiding the one thing I wanted to show, haha. :)

Yay! Glad that worked. :)
Some themes have a lot of these fancy tricks and its easy for something to end up “not quite right.” Let me know if I can help with anything else!
