Home page content area showing posts

[steelmayhem 1]

I have set up my home page to be content and a .com/blog/ page for blog posts, however, when I do a test post, it appears in BOTH the HOME page and blog page. I went into reading and set the static button and left the front page alone to default and the posts page to "blog" in drop down. Thanks Mark

Hmm, can I get a link? Thanks, Bryan

Hey Mark - If you setup your home page to be a "content" page, then you should actually assign that in the first dropdown instead of leaving it as "default"

I tried that before and had to switch it back because, I was getting an error 'page not redirecting properly" I have a redirect for the "Home" nav page to the main domain url. what am I doing wrong?

Did you try changing the template for the "Home" page

[steelmayhem 1]

could you describe exactly how to do it so i dont make a mistake? and which template should i use?

You need to go to: Settings > Reading and set "Home" as the static front page. Thanks, Bryan

Bryan, Ive done that earlier. it keeps giving me an error message saying the page isn't redirecting properly.ive set up a page redirect for the "home" page to go to the main domain.please help.

That might be the problem right there, please remove that redirection plugin. If the problems persists you might want to deactivate all your plugins and check for issues. Thanks, Bryan
