Hi, well if you loaded a different theme, and its still happening, then there might be something wrong with your WordPress database. My apologies, I dont have any idea how to figure out whats wrong, my only suggestion is that you copy the contents, delete those static pages and try again. ??

OK, I can see your website, and its definitely coming up with blog posts as the home page.

I downloaded the theme, installed it, and after these settings
Reading Settings
my home page now looks like this
Tandil Homepage
Is that not working for you?

Did you select “A static page” in the reading settings?

I cant find the theme you are using, the theme might be forcing a “Home page” tab.

Hi, you need to create a new page for posts if you dont want them to appear on the front page.

Go to Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays > Static Page.

You then need to select a new “Posts page:”

You can have multiple WordPress installations on one XAMPP server. For Apache you need 2 different wordpress folders in htdocs, it doesn’t matter what they’re called, i.e. htdocs\blogone, htdocs\blogtwo, all that changes is their address, i.e. ‘localhost\blogone’, ‘localhost\blogtwo’

The same goes for the databases, as macmanx said, wordpress doesn’t care what the database is called, that’s why it asks for a database name in the wp-config.php file.
