How do I make it so when you access my URL, it goes to a page, not the blog

    Hi, so I am working on a website for a client, and he is looking for a basic company website. I am going to use WordPress because he also wants a blog. With that being said, I am wanting it to have a Home page, about page, contact us page, and some various other pages, and then have a page titled Blog, which is strictly for use of the blog.

    Therefore, when you first access the URL,
    https://www.sitename.com it will take you to a Home page, much like a normal website. The user would then have to navigate to the actual blog page.

    Thank you.

  • Go to settings –> reading –> Front page displays –> then select whatever page you like.

    go to setting in your dashboard, click on static page, choose front page that you want and chose the page where you want your blog posts to appear

    You want the instructions on this page: Creating a Static Front Page.

    What about if I wanted to make a portfolio + blog.
    https://example.com/ <– Portfolio page (New images = new posts posted in X category)
    https://example.com/wordpress/ <– Blog (everything else)

    I’d like to use new wordpress posts as new porfolio-images. Anyone have an idea of how to accomplish this?

    It is not good form to tack onto another’s thread. You will have much better luck posting your own thread with a better title.

    @up,
    Sorry I thought that it was a similiar problem, and it could also help someone else. But I now see that you can mark threads as “Solved” etc.

    Created my own topic.
