  Hi! I don’t believe my tool bar is working. when I click on the blog link it only shows one post and not both. In additional I tried to create a tab and place articles in there but when I try and click on the link, it kept skipping to home so I deleted it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

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

  Hello @kimmiecupscatalog

  Hi! I don’t believe my tool bar is working. when I click on the blog link it only shows one post and not both.

  This is happening because that blog page is a static content page. You need to set this Blog page to show your blog posts. So follow these steps to do that:
  1. Go to My Site(s) → Customize(Beside the Themes option) or just click here: https://wordpress.com/customize/. This will open the site Customizer.
  2. On the sidebar of the Customizer, click on Static Front Page.
  3. On the Front page displays section select A static page.
  4. From the Posts page dropdown menu select the Blog page.
  5. Finally, click Save & Publish.

  In additional I tried to create a tab and place articles in there but when I try and click on the link, it kept skipping to home so I deleted it. Any advice would be appreciated.

  There are two options to creates pages that show blog posts from a particular category.

  1. Using the Display Posts Shortcode:
  i. Create a new page by following the steps given here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  ii. And then, use the display posts shorcode in that page to display posts from a particular category:

  [display-posts category="must-read" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]

  More information about using the display posts shortcode can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  2. Create Category Pages:
  Follow this official support guide to create Category pages that will pull posts from a particular category: https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  NOTE: Please make sure you add categories to your blog posts to make these work. Guide for adding categories to a post can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

  Hope these help 🙂
