Tip 157 create a home page in wordpress
Create a home page in wordpress
To do so, you need to make a Separate Page for Blog Posts in WordPress
You can also use a plugin and some webbuilders do that for you.
By creating a separate page for blog posts without plugin, just know it is harder to customize once it is set. This is how.
Follow the ... STEPS
- Go to your wordpress dashboard >pages>add new
- Add two pages, Home and Blog (or any other name of your liking) and use them as your home and blog page.
- Add no content to those pages
It looks like this:
Once those pages are added,
4. Go to your wordpress dashboard >settings>reading
5. Use the section > 'Your homepage displays’
6. Flag > the static page
7. Use the two pages home and blog (or your selected names) and save
It looks like this:
8. Going back to your wordpress dashboard > pages > all pages you'll notice that your home and blog page are labeled front page and posts page now.
9. View it by clicking on the title.
It is a blank reference that you will have to customize as well.
Once done, you are finished
Well done!
10. Add the blog page to your top menu
Cool? Right!

Hi Susan
Took me 5 years to find out about this static page in settings and its two mysterious options (select below) ... referring to blank pages if you do not customize them...
Using 'your latest posts' most of the time.
Have a nice day

Thank you! My home page is either non-existent or awful, I'm not sure which. I will try your step-by-step approach. I appreciate the help!
Good luck
Just know thatbin the reading setting you can flg your recent posts... which I do most of the time. Some themes handle the problem... others not
