    My main blog page’s path is mysite.com/blog/category/blog, but I want it to be mysite.com/blog. I’ve set Settings>Reading>Front page displays to ‘Your latest posts’ (as instructed by AccessPress support), and I’ve set permalinks to /blog/%postname%/. The paths of the individual post are correct (mysite.com/blog/posttitle). The menu item ‘Blog’ was added to the menu as a category. I tried adding it as a page but the posts didn’t show up on the page. I’m using the AccessPress Lite theme at https://ibrandintegration.com/blog/category/blog/. I get the posts to display on the blog page because I categorized them as ‘Blog’ and set my Settings>Writing>Default Post Category to ‘Blog’. Not at all sure if that’s the correct way to set the blog page up.

    Ok, you’ll need to do two things:

    1. Create and publish an empty page called Blog.

    2. At Settings -> Reading in your blog’s Dashboard, set the Posts page to your new Blog page.

    Thanks for replying, MMX. When I tried that the path became: mysite.com/blog/blog/posttitle

    Where is WordPress installed? Is it installed in a /blog/ directory on your server?
