Adding a blog to a WordPress theme

    I am doing work on a WordPress website (theme Zeoal) that another designer built. The main page (normally reserved as the blog) is being used to display video content. I want to add a new page that will function as a blog that is separate from the home page. However, I can only add static pages. How can I do this?

  • Make a static page named blog.

    Then set it as your posts page in settings-> reading

    I did that and tried a test post (from the “add new post” tab in the “Post” menu) and it didn’t post to the newly created “Blog” page. It actually didn’t post anywhere at all.

    I set the “reading” setting to Front Page Displays Your Latest Posts, and Post Page is set as the new page I created called Blog. What am I doing wrong here? Its obvious that I am new at this.

    Thanks
