Static Homepage: Post Pages?

  • Hi, home page is set up as a static page.
    This Test Post is listed in wp-admin/edit.php, not in edit.php?post_type=page as a post page, whereas the welcome post does appear as a post page. Is there a reason for that?

    Thanks.

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

    Hi @lmstearn,

    If your Home Page is a static page (which it appears to be) it will be using the Single Page template.

    Both the Test post and the Welcome post appear to be single posts, and using the single posts template.

    whereas the?welcome?post does appear as a post page.

    Can you explain a little more about what you mean by this?

    Hi jordesign, thanks for the interest, it was a problem more with understanding the nomenclature more than anything. Have since changed a few things around, so the list of items in wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page – which includes the Posts Page entry, now makes sense.

    it was late, hastily assuming the Posts Page entry was actually a post, not an index, so expecting more items to appear in there.

    In the blog home (wp-admin/site-editor.php?postType=wp_template&postId=twentytwentyfour%2F%2Fhome) there is

    “Displays the latest posts as either the site homepage or as the “Posts page” as defined under reading settings. If it exists, the Front Page template overrides this template when posts are shown on the homepage.”

    Currently considering the possibility of combining the pages so the posts show on the homepage. Even if the Front Page and Posts Page are both using the Single Page template, could things get too involved for a (slightly error prone) new user? The chief focus is to keep things a simple as possible for when the next Twenty Twenty X theme arrives.

    Thanks again.
