Pardon my confusion, this is probably mostly an issue with my lack of familiarity with the current WordPress.

In your theme, how to I create a menu item that leads to a simple list of all posts? I can see how to do this on the main page, where it will add all the posts underneath the “Featured Content” section (unless I remove that section in which case it shows up under the slider), but I can’t figure out how to get a dedicated place to show all the posts in reverse chronological order like any old blog.

I apologize, it’s literally been about five years since I created a WordPress site, so I’m partly learning all of this stuff again, and the dashboard looks different from what I’m used to as well 🙂

@Dignan17: Sorry there no option to add old post first. It will show the latest post first. Maybe you can look for plugin to support these functions.

Also, I am bit confused with your question as you have talked about Menus as well. For menus, you can simply create custom menu from “Appearance => Menu”. http://catchthemes.com/blog/custom-menus-wordpress-themes/

I don’t think I’m explaining it correctly so you’re misunderstanding me.

I said I wanted to let a user click on the menu and be taken to a page that lists nothing but the posts on my blog. The order is irrelevant and even the menu is irrelevant.

The problem is that your theme takes over the home page that normally shows the blog feed, and by default it doesn’t even show the old posts. So I’m wondering how I can have a second page that only shows posts.

My only workaround is to apply one category to every single post (like “news”) and add a category link to the menu for “news”. This seems like a weird workaround and adds a step to the creation of every new post.

@Dignan17: You can add category in Custom Menu. So, just add the category news in your menu.

Yeah, that’s what I said I was doing as a workaround. I was hoping for a better solution that didn’t require me to add a dummy category to every single post.

But this works fine.
