Blog page only shows one post

Hi,

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make my blog page show more than one post..

I want to to show my latest blog posts in excerpts with Blog Post Title & 5-7 sentences per shown post excerpt + “Read More” after each excerpt.

I’ve spend the last 7-8 hours trying to get this to work, reading every thread (at least 25 by now) I could find on the subject, no luck!

This is among what I’ve tried after learning from others with similar problem:

-Changing from static to non static under settings / reading
-Tried deactivating all plugins
-Tried dozens of code snippets related to the problem, found here on WP.org & other websites
-Hired an experienced WP developer who couldn’t figure it out and had to bail on the task
-This was one thing I tried that worked somewhat:

// Replaces the excerpt "more" text by a link
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
       global $post;
     return '<a class="moretag" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

I then called the function from index.php & page.php with <?php the_excerpt(‘Read more ?’); ?>

This works fine, as far as showing an excerpt goes, however my blog page still only shows 1 post, and when I click on the “Read More” link, WP just takes me to the same page, showing me the excerpt of ONE blog post, instead of showing the whole post.

I’m so close at abandoning this project, but it would suck if all that time spent was for nothing..

Any guidance from some of you WP experts? (I’ve read every single topic related to this problem on this forum I could find, dating back to 2009)

In a few words:

Blog page only shows one post
When using excerpts, the whole post isn’t shown when clicking on ‘Read More’

Any help is much appreciated! ??
