This was my problem
I have got a question about setting up a blog on my website. I set up a static home page for my website but I still want to have a my blog listed on my main menu. And I want it to be a classic blog where the posts are in reverse chronological order. So I made a “Home Post” and put that on the menu but it is not working like a classic blog and showing all my posts. How do I have a static home page and a classic blog link on my web site menu at the same time?
This is how it was solved.
Under Customize—Home Page Settings (where you set the static home page) it says:
You can choose what’s displayed on the homepage of your site. It can be posts in reverse chronological order (classic blog), or a fixed/static page. To set a static homepage, you first need to create two Pages. One will become the homepage, and the other will be where your posts are displayed.
So now I have a Page (not post) names JS Blog which is where my posts are displayed. And when you click on it on the menu it goes to my blog which works like a “classic blog”.
As you can see in the print screen graphic to the left, the posts page is JS Blog.
This is now working the way I want but I am not exactly sure how I got it there.
