squiggles

Update: I figured out that I can accomplish my second solution posed by sharing those same articles on my Facebook page and then they show up on the website using Smash Balloon but the first auto post solution would be be much better if it is possible. Even the likes would be better so my Facebook page is not spamming followers’ feeds when I am “collecting updates/articles”.

So, thank you so much for all the help! Before I tried this complicated process that may have doomed me because of my inexperience, ha ha, I called up Bluehost for tech support to see if they could fix the problem. Basically, they fixed it really fast by doing the following (To the best I can understand it):

Deleted the “Home” page. My posts, although being displayed on the “Home” tab, were not posted to this page and this page only. In other words, deleting this page would not delete all of my posts posted so far.

Selected front page displays: your latest posts under the reading section

Now I was able to access my “home” page by clicking the link to the left-hand side but the “Home” button was now gone in my top menu bar.

To re-add a home button, go to appearance and menus. Create/update a main menu which has all of your website tabs and set them to load to the according pages plus, add a home selection and set the URL (Under the drop down menu) to the main site URL (Which is now your “home” page).

Make sure on this menu editor that the check box below titled “Top primary menu” is checked.

Done! Double check that you now have you home button back.

I think this may only work like this for this specific layout (WordPress 2014 layout) but I could be mistaken.

The drop down says: About, Artists, Contact, Home

Yes, clicking on that link goes to my pages and not my posts.

The template drop down under the Home page editor is set to Default Template. The other options are contributor page or full width page. My theme is the 2014 WordPress theme offered by default through the templates section.

My Home page permalink is editable but the about page does not have an edit button next to it. Could this perhaps be the problem? Did I somehow confuse WordPress into thinking my About page is my main page and the Home page is a secondary page? Where do we go from here to fix it?

Okay I just completed step one. As far as number two – It says “Front Pgae Displays: A Static Page”. Then Below that, “Posts Page: Home”.

I don’t see how anything else on that page is relevant. I know what all the other settings there do and none could possibly affect this issue.
