"LATEST BLOG POSTS" hyperlink loading 404 error – help

    Hi. At the bottom of my home page there is a link to latest blog posts:

    https://www.matthewaldworth.co.uk/

    But it loads a 404 error:

    https://www.matthewaldworth.co.uk/blog/

    I have tried setting permalinks back to default within settings but that also takes me to a 404 page but this time displayed from my web host server not a 404 page displayed within my wordpress theme (as above)- if that makes sense……

    I am thinking that perhaps my theme does not have the capability to list all of my blog posts in a traditional manner but I find that hard to believe……

    Can anyone help me out with this?

    Many thanks,

    M.

  • Dear Matthew Aldworth Music,

    If you go into your Admin menu you should create a new page that uses the slug / url blog. That way the link https://www.matthewaldworth.co.uk/blog/ will work.

    Now, of course, you want the posts to display on that page. Go to the Admin menu again, click Settings -> Reading. Then under Front page displays select:

    Front page: Home
    Posts page: Blog (this is the one you just created)

    I think this should fix the issue. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

    Kind regards,

    CS_WordPress
