General Reading Settings VS Custom page

  • Apologies if this was already answered. I created a “latest posts” page with this plugin and works fine. However, when I set said page as Posts Page in the Reading settings in WP, the plugin setting are overridden by WP’s Customize options. As a temporary solution I have disabled the Reading option in WP to keep my custom page. Two questions: does it have any impact on my SEO? Is there a way to link my custom page in the Reading session without changing the page? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

    Hi there,

    When you set a page as “Posts page” you effectively turn that page into the blog index page.

    The Blog index page removes all contents added to the page and replaces it with the default post query loop by your theme.

    For the 2 questions:

    #1) No unless it’s severely modified and messes w/ the HTML structure. (aria labels removed, multiple h1 tags, etc)

    #2) Don’t use Reading setting’s “Posts page”. Keep it empty. If you have a menu item for your Blog page, point it to the static page you’ve created where the WPSP you’ve made is placed.

    Ok, thanks. I thought the default WP posts page had an impact on the hierarchy of the pages and therefore on the SEO. I’ll keep it empty then. Cheers.
