Navigation does not show menu item “Blog” in the main menu

    Hi Ana,

    in the past it took a kind of work-around to get my blog-overview page displayed as I wanted. I needed a separate empty “Blog” page to get the real “Blog”-page displayed properly. In order to manage SEO now with all my pages, I have to kick this empty page off.

    But this means that I get the following issue:
    In the settings I have selected a Static Page = Homepage, Posts Page = Blog.
    In Appearance -> Editor -> ALL the templates in the editor are showing the full navigation as it has to be including the menu item “Blog”.
    But in the front-end “Blog” is not displayed. I guess it has something to do with the templates.

    “Home” is based on the template “Front Page”.
    “Blog” is based on the template “Default Template”.

    Where’s the problem?

    Hi there,

    well, I’m really sorry that I did not get this sooner and misunderstood the structure and handling of the templates in WP.
    Ok, so I NOW found the explanation and I understand NOW that the Blog page has to be completely empty:

    In the wordpress support pages I found this helpful hint (“creating-a-static-front-page”):
    “Posts Page: (if not already created) create an empty page. Give it a title that will be used on top of your posts list. This step is mandatory as you are modifying WordPress default setting. Any other content other than Title will no be diplayed at all on this specific page.”

    So, this solves the issue with displaying the blog menu item.
    BUT now the blog page won’t display my Open Street Map Out of the Block anymore. (like I wrote in an early thread some time ago):

    So, what on earth am I doing wrong here?

    Hi Ana,

    I think this issue with the Blog item is resolved.
    The other issue with the OSM we already discussed and you tested it on the default theme as well.
    I addressed this issue with the map once again to the plugin-author. Meanwhile I’m thinking this issue not to be theme-related. So thanks anyway for now.
