Hi WF,

I am posting this issue on my girlfriends behalf. We have no idea how to fix the issue below. Any suggestions?

So, I am horrible with techy stuff. I have created a blog - "TheEmpoweress.com" (purchased the domain through go daddy, blue host does my hosting, I created a wordpress account, and then I bought this theme through theme forest) My theme is called "John Doe's blog". The first issue I encountered: I cannot get my site to go to a static page. The second issue: I cannot get comments on my posts. I have gotten numerous emails that have stated that my site is "down". But I am not sure what that even means. I am so frustrated and need help. I am a nurse and also training to be a entrepreneurial health coach so I want to use this as a blog and then eventually as a place for people to opt in, get newsletters, and purchase my services. Ive changed themes and the problems still persist.**Ive been told by multiple people on Fiverr that they have never seen an issue like this and I should just delete and restart.**

    If you want the front page to have a static page go to settings->reading->front page displays->a static page and select a page that you want to display

    The site The Empoweress | Awaken. Nourish. Fulfill. looks like it's up to me,

    Perhaps you should learn a little more about WordPress, Start here New To WordPress - Where to Start « WordPress Codex

    Just like RobinInTexas says, when you login into to your WordPress control panel go to dashboard > settings > reading and on that page you will see the options 'Front page displays'. Yours is probably set to 'Your Latest Posts'. Click on ' A static page (select below)' and select which page is to be static page.

    As for comments you might want to look at the options 'settings > discussion'

    Also you might want to check out Atahualpa Theme which looks similar to the theme you are using currently.

    Every theme has a documentation of the theme regarding editing and new pages/post.
    So you need to find that documentation, read them and all will be fine.. Don't worry
