Posts Page Not Responding

  • I have set a static front page for Home and a blog page for Latest Posts. However, the blog page (osintj.com/blog/) does not appear unless I choose “unchecked” under Settings to keep my blog page unassigned.

    When I set the blog page to Latest Posts, it shows another page without the blog feed––not the one I created. It is currently unassigned.

    Thus, I am unable to edit the design of my blog feed under Edit Site because it will not display the properly assigned blog page. With this setting at “unchecked,” will it affect SEO? Regardless, how do I fix this issue so that I can further edit the blog feed under Edit Site, which I cannot simply design via Edit Page?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hey Chris,
    There may be a conflict or misconfiguration between your static front page and the blog page settings. Here are steps to resolve this issue:

    Reassign the Blog Page:

    • Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.
    • Navigate to Settings > Reading.
    • Ensure that you have selected the correct page for your “Posts page.” Choose the page you’ve designated as your blog page (e.g., “Latest Posts”).

    Check Blog Page Template:

    • Go to Pages in your WordPress admin.
    • Locate the page you’ve set as your blog page (e.g., “Latest Posts”).
    • Edit that page and ensure that it’s using the correct template. It should use a template that displays the blog feed, often labeled as “Blog” or “Posts Page.”

    Customizing the Blog Feed:

    If you’re unable to edit the design of your blog feed under “Edit Site,” you might need to explore alternative methods:

    • Use a page builder plugin to customize the blog feed layout.
    • Check if your theme has specific customization options for the blog feed within the theme settings.

    Setting a page as “unchecked” under Settings > Reading won’t directly affect SEO. However, it’s best to have a designated blog page for better site structure and user experience.

    If the issue persists, consider switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily to see if the problem is theme-specific or check the theme’s documentation

    Thanks for the info. Still no progress.

    I tried editing the Posts page after assigning it to Latest Posts under Settings – Reading. It still does not appear properly (had to unassign it), and I am searching for how to edit the template of the given page.

    I am beyond confused with these later versions of “site editing” over the past year. The only thing I can do is keep troubleshooting by trying new things. I will try creating new test pages with a template for blogging.

    I got the Blog Home template to correctly assign to the Blog page I created, but it still does not edit. The template is Page with Sidebar. However, tweaking the blog feed of that template will not change how it appears on the Blog page.

    In other words, I cannot edit the image specs, fonts, colors, etc. of the post feed under Edit Site for this template and have it correspond with the changes I made on the actual Blog page.
