Add Blog Button to Menu

  • I have Customizr layout setup with latest posts summaries appearing on home page showing latest 10 postings. We love it! I also want to add a ‘Blog’ button/page to the menu that shows all categories and older posts. What is the most efficient way to have both of these? I dont need a plug in to achieve this do I?

    Thank you for your time and input!

    If I understood what you are asking then the answer is no you don’t need a plugin to do that… WordPress allows you to create/use custom menus.

    Thank you but I still need instruction.

    How do I add a ‘blog’ button to my menu that links to my blog posts – all of them, in addition to the 10 ‘latest posts’ that already populate on my ‘home’ page (Customizr theme) ?

    Make a page called “Blog”. Open Customiz’it! and tell it that you want “Blog” to be your blog page. Put “Blog” in the menu using Appearance > Menu.

    I have created a ‘Blog’ page. I open ‘Customiz’it! and see nowhere to tell it to make ‘Blog’ my blog page. My choices are;
    Skin
    Site Title & Tagline
    Logo & Favicon
    Front Page
    Navigation
    Posts Pages & Layout
    Comments
    Social Links
    Images
    Custom CSS

    None of the above offer the option to make ‘Blog’ my blog page.

    Help! Thank you!

    Customiz’it! > Front Page > Choose content and layout > Posts page. Set this to “Blog”.

    Under Customiz’it!> Front Page > Choose content and layout> Front Page Displays> Your latest Posts OR a static page. These are my only options.
    Next I get to pick what front page layout>with sidebar NO sidebar,etc., followed by ‘Featured Pages Options>Enable OR Disable. Ending with Home Featured Page> 1-3.

    ‘Posts Page’ is not listed anywhere. I know I have the latest version of Customizr theme so do not understand why I am not seeing what you say I should be seeing.

    What next?

    Please remember, I want my ‘Latest Posts’ to display on the front page – NOT a static page. I have it set up this way already.

    I also need a link/button to a Blog page that shows ALL posts and their categories.

    Thank you again.

    Under Customiz’it!> Front Page > Choose content and layout> Front Page Displays> Your latest Posts OR a static page. These are my only options.

    Choose static and you get to say where your blog posts are (2 dropdowns appear).

    I don’t know how to set it so you have the 10 latest posts on your front page and the rest elsewhere, sorry.

    Thats what I thought. Bummer!

    I have changed my settings and now it is set up so ‘Blog Page’ shows the latest posts. None of the categories are listed. Is there a way I can have them auto populate in the sidebar?
