Thanks Andrea, That was what I suspected but there is no page or post named “blog” and it does not look like a plugin is the culprit. However, you got me thinking….
I created a page called “blog” and set the “Post page” to it. And what do ya know… it works! However, it is only a hack as the real problem still exists since the Blog”s” page is still pointing the main blog to the Front static page. https://mhs.myotus.com/blogs/
However, it does take a bit of pressure off for now as long as there are no hidden gotyas! with this hack.
