  Why do I have two home pages despite the fact that only one shows up on my dashboard?

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

  Hi there, this may be because you haven’t assigned your posts to be displayed anywhere, as you can see here under Settings > Reading:

  Could you try creating a new page, calling it Blog, or whatever title you’d like. You don’t need to add any content to the page, as it’ll just be a placeholder. Publish the page.

  Then, select this new placeholder page from the “Post page” dropdown menu under Settings > Reading, as in the screenshot above.

  You can read more here about how to use these setttings:

  If this doesn’t solve the issue, please let me know and we’ll continue to troubleshoot.

  Hello. I tried what you suggested and it still has not resolved the issue. What other suggestions might you have?

  Thanks for letting me know. This looks like a bug in the Contempt theme, which I’ve reported to the developers. I’ll keep you posted here.

  A temporary workaround would be to create a custom menu, but I’ll let you know as soon as this default menu issue has been fixed.

  Howdy! Just a note to say we’ve fixed this bug; duplicate Home links will not be shown in the default menu should you set a static front page. I hope this helps!
