Wordpress static front page

rosetrees · 11-06-2009, 12:40 PM

This is driving me nuts!! I'm building a WP site and it has a static page as the home page.

I also want a blog page for posts, with a link in the menubar - but I can't work out how to do this once I set a static homepage.

Helppp? I might tear my hair out soon.

When you set the static frontpage, in the same time you need to set another - existing! - Page as your "posts page".

If I use a static page, I tend to go to Widgets and implement the "catagories, recent posts and page" options in the widgets. That way they appear in the sidebar and can be accessed.
