Create a blog on a static page

  • Is there any way to create a blog on a designed static page after the page title and content? I’ve tried to use the settings/reading/publish posts select. It doesn’t work. It blocks the introduction and page design. Here’s the page I am asking about: https://onetribemission.com/blog-stories/. I’ve used Weaver 2.2 to build my site.

  • I’m not sure I understand entirely, but you could download the plugin PHP-Exec that allows you to paste PHP codes in your Page HTML section.

    Then make a call to paste your Blog Posts… ie.

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
			<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
			<?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
			<div class="entry">
				<?php the_content(); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<h2>Not Found</h2>
<?php endif; ?>

    Note, you might also want to replace the_content() with the_excerpt()

    I’m not sure if this is a solution or not, but please let me know if it is or isn’t.

    Do you have an example of what you’re talking about?

    Here’s what I always do: Create 2 pages in WP. One called Home and one called Blog. Under the settings menu, I look for reading. I select display posts on page and set the Blog page to display posts.

    Make sure you disable comments/backlinks on the blog PAGE. Then save the changes and try to start blogging. Everything should work out.

    If you want an introduction to your blog, you can always make a ‘sticky’ post and leave it up for a while.

    Hope this helps,

    Debra

    I found a plugin called “blog in blog” that solved my problem. Works great.
