Sorry I haven't ben able to answer your suggestions. My wife's best friend lost her brother this past Monday and everything has been crazy since.

You are well covered here with some excellent advice, and guidance.

Go to Settings >> Reading and see what your home page is set to.

If it's Your Latest Posts, then your blog posts will automatically appear on your home page as they are published.

If it's Static Page, you will need to provide navigation via a menu item in your header menu.

Home Page is static, as per design. I have an articles page, that was working fine, until I did something to screw the feed up.

If your articles page is nominated as your blog in the Reading setting and also in your menu, it should work automatically.

Have you got this figured out?

I've got it operating on a manual feed. A pull down menu that I have to physically add the articles too. Now caring for it though.

Hi, Dennis

As Diane said, pages won’t load on your blog roll.

If you’re publishing them as posts, did you create a static homepage? Your posts will not load on the static homepage. They will load on your blog roll.

If that’s the case, you need to put a link to your blog roll in your top menu. You can name it “Blog” or whatever you like.

Rock On! 🤘

Hey Frank,

I created a top article post and made it stick to the top. A welcome to..., I invite you to... and thank you for reading.

Hi - are you publishing them as pages?

Only posts load automatically; pages need to be added to a menu.

Got that right off, but thanks for the assist.

You have some awesome advice here…I hope it all works out for you!

-Mike

For your menus, you may head to Appearance > Menus, and provided you have created one, you may add the item to it and save the changes.

If you edited a document in the site content and published it, future edits must be done in WordPress. Site content and WordPress work independently.

I'd place my images in a document in the site content and publish it to my site. It will be added to my WordPress media library. Then delete the “temporary image” doc in site content so it does not get indexed.

You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh and try again. Try the URL in a different browser or mobile device.

You can also empty the server's cache.
Websites > Site Manager > Details > Sitespeed > Empty site cache

I emptied the Cache, no change. Just last week I had my articles feeding into the articles pages with no problem. I've even tried deleting the menu and start from scratch. No dice.

Can you give us the URL so we can have a look? Thank you.

I'm trying to reimagine my comments page as a discussion page. This way I can have a question with the discussions to follow. Each section separate from the other. For an exam

Hi, Dennis

Add a B Flat to your C Major and you have a C Dominant Seventh chord. 😎

Frank 🎸

You a Bb or do you change the B to a Bb?

Hey, Dennis

A C Major chord contains the notes C, E, and G (the root, third, and fifth). There is no B note.

The B note would make the chord a C Major Seventh: C, E, G, B (root, third, fifth, and seventh).

So, you ADD the Bb note to make it a C7th (C Dominant seventh) chord: C, E, G, Bb (root, third, fifth, flat seventh).

Frank 😎🎸

I found a place for free forums, so I'm going to give a try. Feel free to make comments on the other articles on my site.

Oh....Happy New Year!

How did you solve your forum problem, Dennis? 😎

Having problems with the set up. I hope to have it going by tomorrow.

I use WPforo, and I find it very practical.

Hi, I only know of a plugin that does that. The plug-in creates a forum discussion board to add to your WordPress site. It is called the websitetoolbox dot com. You might have to pay for it. I know one blogger that uses this tool. It is effective. You can scour other plugins by doing a Google search to see which plugins give you a better deal. Hopefully, others can answer which discussion plug-in discussion forum works the best for your musical page.

Thank you so very much.

I have the normal comments section, but I wish to make it a requirement for someone to leave a comment. I tried the search engine, but I guess I'm not wording it properly.
<

They've had to enter an email address, or how, then?

Are you trying from a browser you are not logged in to?

Comments always require the commenter's email address, with an assurance that it won't be published.

I thought the default comments section already required it Dennis. I'd check your site from a different browser where you aren't logged in and see if that is there. If it isn't, then I'd see what other people recommend here.

You're right as usual, though for some reason it's under the comment box. Thanks again my friend and Happy New Year.

No problem :)

Is there a requirement for them to verify from their email it's a valid email, or can folks just put any email in?

They can put in any email. From my understanding there is no verification requirement.

Thank you. Since that's the case seems like an impediment that would deter some from commenting. If used for email outreach it could expose you to risks for spamming random emails who have no idea who you are, so not sure why one would want to add that requirement.

What benefit is there to adding that? Now I'm curious why that is the default setting.

It's not that big of a deal. Spam comments are usually easy to spot and delete and it adds one more extra layer to deter spam comments anyway.
