I am wanting to create a new blog post after my second one, though am confused on how to do this.

Also a bit lost on how to add a feature image to my posts, as the only position in which i see where to do it is on the page i have created in the dashboard below as per screenshot, which wouldn’t make sense as it will go when i create my next post.

Thanks

I have worked out how to add a new post, by just clicking on new post at the top of the page.

Could you just let me know how i can rid of the following static text at the top of the page. i have been able to do this in customiser settings with other static text, though not so able here for some reason. I’m not sure why it sais cornerstone draft either as it’s a new post

Thanks

Hi

I am not using wordpress i am using cornerstone, these videos on creating new posts apply to wordpress

[yoz]

Creating a new post by clicking on new post at the top of the page also didn’t work with cornerstone

[yoz]

Well it did but then previewing the post i have no idea where it went to, as it wasn’t on the blog page

Hi there,

Are you referring to ‘page title’? If so you can disable it from cornerstone settings tab/general.

If it’s a post title, add following code in Customize -> Custom -> CSS :

.single-post h1.entry-title {
    display: none;
}

In regards with :

Well it did but then previewing the post i have no idea where it went to, as it wasn’t on the blog page

Regretfully, at this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

Hope it helps.

The page i have attached as a screenshot from customiser/blog is the look that i want on my current page before this whole post opens which is what is showing as you see right now. http://www.thepohlposition.com/blog/ –

I want the ability to add a feature picture with text excerpt as you see in that screenshot, then when people click on it, it opens up to the full blog of mine that you see. I don’t know how to do that, and i have played with the customiser settings to try

Hi there,

Please set static home page and blog page under Settings -> Reading.
Then add posts and publish them to display on blog page.

Hope it helps.

The static page is only giving me the option of a front page. the blog isn’t my front page, or do i want to name a front page home page to appear in my header.

This couldn’t be the problem though to do with formatting my blog page etc as above?

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Home and blog page could be any of your pages, see the attachment.
You can add home page to primary menu under Appearance -> Menu.

Hope it helps.

Hi Chris,

I an still looking for the ability to add a feature picture with text excerpt as you saw in onme of the previous screenshots, then when people click on it, it opens up to the full blog of mine that you see. I don’t know how to do that and it should be quite strait foward
