  Hi there,

  I can’t make the posts to show up in the front page. I have tried differente themes but nothing seems to work.

  Any idea?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Greetings. In settings, what is your site set to show for the front page?
  Options are “Your latest posts” or “A static page.”

  If you have chosen a static page, then your sticky posts will not show.

  The easiest way to check this is to visit “Appearance > Customizer” and check the “Static Front Page” option on the left.

  Let me know if it works out.

  Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

  Well, I specifically selected static page because many themes advise to do so. The effect I am trying to achieve is a front page with a selection of posts – pictures, links, videos… – and a blog page that collects all my contents – but not necessairly in the home page.

  I was under the impression that it was possible to do so – check this one https://curatordemo.wordpress.com/

  Best of things!

  Some themes will have a page template specifically coded to do what you’re talking about. The Goran theme does not do that. I’m not sure off hand what themes to recommend that would do this.

  I bought the one I had showed you but I could not make it work. It’s becoming a longer quest than anticipated… not sure I’ve got the time or will to keep playing with the themes… should you stumble upon one that would do please let me know – if you got time, that is.

  Thanks anyway.
