Trying to add a static page, but I can't see my page with recent posts.

Recent blog posts is displayed based on your theme you are using. It uses “The Loop”. You your theme does not support it then you can use a short code plugin and place it in the content of the page you created.

I am on of the developers of Custom Post Type List. The plugin can be used as a plugin to get the latest posts as well. If you know PHP then it should not be very hard to follow some documentation to get this to happen by editing your theme files

Sorry, my website is https://www.jamimac.com

Can you tell if my post uses “the Loop” or not?
Thanks!

Your front page does. It contains the most recent posts from the looks of it

Yes, but how can I put a static page in front of that, but still have a page where all my recent posts are? When I go to my dashboard and “pages” it just shows 2 other pages of mine, but doesn’t specify the main page that shows the posts.

I have one page titled contact and another pricing. I want to change one of those to the blog posts page and have a static page as the front page.

Create two pages, One for your static front page and one for your recent posts.
In the admin area go to Settings and then reading.. There you will be able to tell what page is static for the front end and what page you want your posts to be on…

Ok, I think I’ve really messed things up! Thanks for your help, by the way. I’m having trouble putting my recent posts onto a page. They just seem to show up. How do I put them onto a page that can be clicked on. I’ve updated the site to show my static page. https://www.jamimac.com

I think I’ve figured it out, but can’t get the recent posts tab off the picture. Is there a way to do that?

It looks like your theme is a fixed width which means that you have to play by the rules and only use images that will fit in the width of the content area.

Go into your admin area and then to the “widgets” Link under appearance.

Remove the recent posts widget and it will take it off the front page

Thank you so much!! One last question. How do I change the font size of my page links? They are too small where is says recent posts, pricing, contact.

You have to edit your styles.css file..

On line 162 change:

ul.menu li a {
    color: #999999;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    padding: 0 15px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

to

ul.menu li a {
    color: #999999;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    font-size: 14px;
    padding: 0 15px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Change the font-size value to what ever size you want the links at..
I have set it at 14px since I think it looks good that way but you are free to change it obviously
