template page that displays all posts

  • Hello there! I have a wordpress-site thats made out of some pages, like contact and about. I also have a page called ‘blog’. Here I want to display all posts, no matter what category, with the most recent at the top. How do I do this? I have a blog-template page, I can make. But I do not know what code should be on there, to show all posts that I will make.

    I don’t know if this is right, or wrong. I do not really know what it does! I tried replacing the part from if have_posts to endinf with what you said, but that didn’t work. I have no clue as to what I need to do. I hope anyone else does!

    Have you set up WP (using the admin’s panel) to show your posts on that particular page? I think it’s in Settings -> Reading -> Posts Page

    Hello Qbs, I tried what you said, but it turns my ‘contactpage’ (I used this for testing) into the same page as my home.php! My site is here. I think there is a problem with my theme though. Would you be willing to take a look in my dashboard? I don’t know what to tell you about what’s wrong, and how I’d want it to be fixed, I think, I simply don’t know what the problem is, only what I would like the solution to do. If you know, what I could try, please tell me. I think a look at my theme (I could mail it, or could show you how to log in to my dash) would otherwise be the best answer.
