Post not appearing/in the wrong place.

    Hey friends!

    I have just deleted pretty much everything off of my site and started again, installed a very basic theme and have a “Home” and “contact” page so far.

    Basicially I want a blog page, but when I created a new page called blog my posts didn’t go there. In fact when I post anything it doesn’t show up (I have deleted the “Blog” page now).

    This is my site: https://www.jacktheobald.co.uk

    As you can see on the home page there is a post called “Hello!” (in the sidebar), this becomes viewable when clicked but I don’t know why it doesn’t appear automatically. It seems to appear on the home page too, which I do not want (I would like my posts to all be on a “Blog” page).

    I know nothing of WordPress really, is this quite a simple thing to fix?

    Any help would be really appreciated, I will not be able to work this out on my own.

    Jack.

    Hi Jack,

    If you go to your settings and then reading page.

    Change your settings to

    Front Page: Home
    Posts page: Blog

    That should do the trick.

    Aaahhh!

    Thank you so much Adrian, and I apologise for the cripplingly noobish question.

    I have another quick question though, it might save making another post; is it easy to remove the date from your posts? Not crucial but I find it really annoying… In fact, is there a way to remove that whole “This entry was posted in Uncategorized on 04/21/2013.” line, it really looks messy and out of place.

    If you look in your single.php file of your theme, you will see the tags there for time and text.

    Use this service to paste in your single.php and I’ll have a look.
