Moving the first Page

  • Hi I am using the monochrome theme. It automatically puts a page called HOME as the first Page and puts all Posts into it. I have managed to go into the text editor and in the Header change the name HOME to BLOG. However, I want to move this page to either the third or fourth page. How do i do this, as there is no options in my pages to edit where the Blog page goes in order?

    The HEADER code is copied below for your reference:

    Sorry, just to clarify, the Blog (or HOME) page is not even in the Page options. I assume this is something in the code? I can not edit this page at all, so I am assuming it is in the code? Thanks again.

    hi.
    it seems you solve your problem. I have the exact same problem.
    how you did it? ??
    regards.

    Hi I had the same problem and some one pointed me at this article

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

    With this you can make any page your home page and call the list of post a different name such as blog/news

    hope that is what you are after.

    thank you!
    i’m on it…

    That works, but can someone please explain what a raw query_posts() looks like to just get the basic list-of-posts loop? Calling it with just posts_per_page achieves the basic effect, but posts_nav_link() doesn’t work.

    Ok, I worked out how to get my answer. In case anyone needs it: The global $query_string has the queries used for the loop by default. Links created with posts_nav_link() will add a paged parameter in the $query_string. So doing a query_posts() with the $query_string will do the trick correctly. However, if the loop is on a page, it will also have a pagename parameter that tells the loop to only render the page contents. We can override that parameter by setting it blank.

    So by doing a query_posts($query_string . '&pagename=&posts_per_page=4') we can recreate a list of posts like on the default front page. Check the extra options for query_posts for more options.

    I love this solution as it gives a lot of flexibility, but I still feel there’s probably a more elegant way of doing it.
