You’re right. The front page is now ‘recent posts’. I left it that way while I was working on the site rather than have a static page and no blog, and now the site owner has decided that works better than the static home page previously in place.

C’est la vie!

At least I know now how to achieve was I was aiming for, even if it’s not wanted on this particular site.

Thanks for your help anyway!

Thanks for this. It worked, but I’m confused.

The new blank page I created, which I called “Blog” has no content except the “Blog” title, and yet if I set this page as the “Posts” option my visitors correctly get the index of recent posts instead of my blank page. It must be magic.

Thanks for responding.

If I set the front page to be “recent posts” I get the list of recent posts as expected, but I don’t want it as the default front page. I want it as a menu item so the user has to click on “~/blog/”. I want a static front page.

I have a menu item set up as “~/blog/” which gets a 404 error because there is no page with that slug.

All of the options seem to need me to give a page name or link to an existing slug.

I don’t know what value I need to set there to have “recent posts” show up instead of one of my pages or a specific post or category.

I made an empty page but I don’t know how to get that page to show recent posts.

Please tell me how to set it so that the default front page is my static page and when someone clicks on “~/blog/~ they get the recent posts view.

I’m interested in your solution to this question. I have a similar issue:

Until recently we had a static front page and recent posts as a sub page ~/blog/ but something changed (maybe a wordpress upgrade or a plug-in – none of us can work out what), and now the default page shows recent posts and the static page is available as ~/home/

We’d like to go back to having the static page as the default and ~/blog/ showing recent posts, but can’t figure out how to do that.

I can set the front page to be static, but the ~/blog/ link in the menu gets a 404 error, and I can’t see how to configure the ~/blog? menu item to go to the recent posts page.

Can you help?

http://legendbridaldesigns.co.uk/ should be static front page
http://legendbridaldesigns.co.uk/blog/ should be recent posts
