  My blog used to work just fine, and today something isn’t working. I have a special landing page that I direct web users (the landing page is called http://www.GraceHillPhoto.com/Home). Then there are buttons a the top of the site to get to my blog and other pages. But now when I click to go to my blog, it just keeps returning me to the landing page. I noticed in fact in the url for the landing page that it keeps renaming it http://www.GraceHillPhoto.com instead of http://www.GraceHillPhoto.com/Home. What is going on?

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

  Hi there, do you want http://gracehillphoto.com/home to be your homepage? In other words, do you want that page to be the one folks see when they visit http://GraceHillPhoto.com?

  Right now, your front page – http://gracehillphoto.com – is set to display your latest posts. That makes it your blog, so that’s the page folks get to when they click the Blog item in your menu.

  If you want http://gracehillphoto.com/home to be your homepage instead, you can assign your posts to another page, and set Home as your front page.

  You can do that following the guide here to setting a static front page: Front Page

  In a nutshell, to do that, you would create a blank page and give it the title Blog. You’d then head under Settings > Reading, and set Blog as your posts page, and Home as your front page:

  https://gracehillphoto.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  You may then need to adjust your custom menu.

  Just let me know if you need any help with this, or if you’re trying to accomplish something else, just let me know and I’ll be glad to assist.

  Thank you! I actually did that, but it still wasn’t working. I figured it out though. Under my custom menu I had made, I had somehow activated an old custom menu and wasn’t currently displaying the new custom menu that was tied to the correct URLs for all my pages. I think it is fixed now!
