Static Page and Theme
-
I want to make my About page a static page for ‘The Life of Faith’ site but there is no link for it. When I began setting up, it was there but it is no longer. How can I recover it?
Also, I have attempted to change the theme, but it continues to revert to the original. I am not a quitter, but I have found this to be the most difficult site to set up compared to the three I have previously used.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All pages are here http://aileen928.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
If 30 days has not passed then you can restore any deleted page from Trash

Otherwise, you can create a Page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page first and then designate it as a static front page.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.The front page of every site or Home by default is the URL of the site.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/twentysixteen/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo link is there too.
All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. Create your two pages first
Front page:
Posts page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/A static page (select below)
Front page:
Posts page:Go to http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php and make the required change.
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in the URL above with the actual name of your blog.
Front page displays
Save changes
