hm. duno if you’re still searching or what. also don’t know if this is your problem at all, but thought i would throw it in.

recently upgraded to 2.7 and have been wrestling a lot – a big problem was precisely (i think) what you’re talking about, *although* i am not filtering out particular categories at this point.

i had it working in 2.6 where i had a static homepage and posts on a different static page. when i upgraded to 2.7, this disappeared – my home was still static, but i couldn’t find the blog – except as individual posts listed on the sidebar.

all documentation pointed to Settings>Reading> select “static page” and set “Front Page” to your static page and “Posts Page” to the subpage desired.

However, *I could not find this option* and I looked everywhere in the admin panel.

FIX: I removed semiologic’s “Inline Posts” plugin, as I was not using the semiologic theme anymore.

LESSON: some plugins affect the standard functionality of the platform. I’m not sure if this incompatibility is specific to semiologic plugins. I imagine not.

Let me know if this helps.

hm. i went to both the url you posted and your root, and didn’t get anything. are you sure it’s working?

if you use an external editor to design visually, do that, and then go to the “code view”

find the tags “body” one says body between < and > the other says /body between those two angle brackets. stuff between there is your content. you can select all of that, and try popping it into wordpress in the “html” editor view. if it doesn’t work, just delete the post/content. No harm done..

Note: it may not keep all of your formatting. It depends on how your wysiwyg editor is styling the page (which gets more complicated and program-specific than can be explained here)..

what external editor are you using, that might help someone guide you. (to use inline style only)

I’m banking partially on the editor default being pretty ‘stupid’, using deprecated elements – kinda like wordpress wysiwyg. ~<duck />~

I got this far, but I have an issue with nav links – the page I set as the first page (Welcome) is showing up in root, but there are two nav links showing – Home and Welcome. These are the same page. How can I make them *one*?

How do I set Home=Welcome?
