Adding a blog to a website

build your home page on a template named front-page.php
and recode index.php to be the blog template

as a lesser alternative, consider to create a page template to be used a ‘blog page’

Heya, thanks for getting back so fast.

So I have moved the front page to home-page.php – all worked fine.

But how do I make the ‘blog’ page have the posts? I have tried doing this in the reading list but no luck, its still connecting to the home page.

the ‘blog’ page will use index.php when set as posts page under ‘reading’ – you will need to edit your index.php template;

what is the full code of index.php right now?

(please use the pastebin – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code )

Heya Index page code is below, the code is the same as the other pages and I have added in the loop. (not sure if that is what I am supposed to do)

Thanks a million for your help
