only showing one post

What’s shown is typically controlled by the theme. You should link to your site and a place to download the theme.

Above is the theme I’m using.

Here’s my website url: https://www.cockpunches.com

For starters, what you linked to is not a theme for WP. It’s just a standard website template. The theme for WP is here:

As for why you’re getting only one post on the main page — I’m still trying to figure that out.

The home link does not show up in the pages under admin area?

It’s not a page. It’s a hardcoded link to the main page.

Ok,

Well yes, the theme I downloaded was from the link you provided not the freecsstemplates.com.

here is the code for the index.php file. I’m not to savvy with php coding but pretty sure I need to change something within this code.
Anyone??

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!– start content –>
