Okay so would it work if I set the main posts page as an irrelevant page I don’t use, but then just use the code for the posts to show up on my blog pagE?

Ok, so when I made changes to the main index template “index.php”, the blog page changed. I don’t have that selected as the template to use for the blog page though, how can I have it so the blog template is the one that controls the changes?

I’ve done that and my posts are set to appear on the “blog” page I created. I really don’t understand why the changes I make don’t appear on the page.

I’m sorry for all the confusions, the intricacies of wordpress themes really confuse me. I want a static home page so wouldn’t making changes to index.php mean having the blog on the home page?

On the page editor part of the admin panel, I have my “blog” page with the template “blog” selected.

On my blog template file in the theme, I have it starting with:

<?php
/*
Template Name: blog
*/
?>

I’m sure it’s something really simple. I just don’t know where I’m going wrong.

Yep, I’m using the correct page template setting on the actual page I just double checked. I have <div id=”blogposts”> in the file but even when I use the developer tools to search for blogposts div I can’t find it, there’s just .narrowcolumn.

I’m using the Kubrick theme however I’ve edited a lot of stuff.

This is the page in question. Changes I make to .narrowcolumn take precedence to changes to #blogposts despite the fact that I have the #blogspots div wrapped around the actual blog part. It’s confusing. I just need a way to make a custom div take precedence over .narrowcolumn.
