index.php is only displaying current month's posts?

  • The blog portion of my WordPress site (a corporate website) utilizes index.php as the default blog page. However, while the page properly shows the PAGING for the other 40+ pages of blog posts, the front page of the blog (again, index.php) is only showing the current month’s posts in the loop before displaying the paging footer. Is this a default WordPress function, and if so, how would I override it? I hadn’t even noticed it until today, when we have a single post for December, and that’s all that shows until you go to page 2, etc.

    Also, before we even had a post for December, this page was blank except for the paging footer, and again, once you went past page 1, all posts were showing correctly in chronological order.

    So in short, why does index.php only show the current month’s posts, and if none exist from the current month, return nothing from the loop until page 2, etc.?
