Move blog off the homepage

    I would like to keep the blog functionality of the my theme (BUENO), but rename it (from “home” to “blog) and move it to the end of the page navigation.

    I know how to create a static homepage through Settings>Reading, but I don’t know how to move it without ruining it.

    The website I’m working on to do this is jacklynnpham.com/portfolio (which will eventually be jacklynnpham.com).

    I’ve read this forum thread, but my code looks different and I’m not sure what to change.

    Thanks in advance!!

  • I did this too… home is a static page (or so I thought) and I made two other pages, one of which I assigned to display the blog posts, however everything came out backwards for some reason.

    My “home” page and my “contact us” page both look like blog pages, and the blog page (named “waterblogged”) has no blog info on it…

    Look at skylinepump.com – this is my first WP site. I’ve worked with php and HTML/CSS before quite a bit, but my client wanted a blog that they could edit and WP seemed like a good fit. Now, I’m wondering if I can make this work for a ‘company’ website or not. I’ve had to strip out tons of code to get rid of stuff I don’t want on ANY page… and I don’t see any other way to remove column content that seems to be hard-coded. By doing this I lost my top menu (but I think I had to because I couldn’t get rid of the original ‘home’ page, no matter what I did.) I’d love to get that top menu back….

    It also seems like typical php comments “/* */” doesn’t work either – any suggestions?

    But first I need to resolve the static page vs. blog page first.

    Perhaps a good theme (one that’s built for what my client needs?) suggestion?

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    @alexavery:

    Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks, and set a permalink structure.

    @c3ajeff:

    It looks like it’s all working correctly on your site. Did you figure things out already?

    Thank you chip.
    Another question now. Since I’m using pages now, how can I remove the “Posted on June 13, 2011 by AlexAvery” and the comments on the bottom?

    @chip bennett – well I figured out how to take out the comments (by removing code in comments.php) and while that worked for the static pages, it also took out the comments where I actually wanted them to be (on the waterblogged page) which makes sense. I would have preferred to keep one page with a blog (why I used WP in the first place) but it just doesn’t want to work as advertised.

    I did the whole Settings -> Reading -> Frontpage / Posts page thing, but it didn’t work right. I still have post stuff on my frontpage and nothing showed (with no way to add comments or posts) on the page I listed as my posts page. Now, I’ve removed all the code, but would like to get at least ONE blog page back. Any ideas?

    I am having the same trouble with this. I tried to move my blog off my homepage, but now there is no blog on the page I have assigned as my post page. It still lets me post under the pages section, but nothing shows up. Here is the site: https://cloudberrysocial.com/blog

    If you search for “test” in my search, it will bring up part of a post I did titled ” Test blog” but, it is supposed to be on my post page. I am using the PureVision theme. Please help!
