    I have somehow derailed my blog site home page designation at <https://www.thetreatingphysician.com&gt;.

    When I publish a new post, my blog posts appear to go to a home page which reflects all my posts, as I intend. However, after a day or so, search engines will turn up a post page which is over a year old instead of my current blog page. My intent is to have my current blog post page my home page.

    The URL <https://www.thetreatingphysician.com/&gt; pulls up the year-old page which is not intended to be static, but is apparently a static page I posted to over a year ago.

    The URL <https://www.thetreatingphysician.com/home/&gt; pulls up this same static page. There is no “next” choice, only a “previous” choice, and this choice will direct you to a page for which the theme doesn’t work — but it contains my newer posts.

    So currently, my posts seem to go to some sort of limbo where they can be pulled up only with a direct URL address. And of course I can’t begin to figure out why the theme disappears with “previous”.

    First, I would like to figure out how to make my blog page the home page. Second, I would like to figure out how to make the “This Just In” page the blog page and my home page.

    My site isn’t housed on the WordPress server, but I do have access to the database.

  • Looks like you are running an outdated version of WordPress – so updating would be the first step. Make sure you backup your site completely before doing that.

    My WordPress dashboard says I am running 3.5.1.

    When 3.5.1 became available, I had a server message to update, and I did.

    Is there something else I should be doing about this update?

    Hmm, that’s odd – this is from your site:

    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.4.1" />

    But I see that you have caching so that may be part of the issue you have too. Try deactivating all your plugins and flushing Super Cache. Clear any other browser, site or server caches.

    Wow! This seems to have fixed the problem.

    Thanks so much!
