OK, I have no idea what the heck I did wrong, but I’m struggling to fix it and nothing works.

Not sure about Cornerstone, sorry 🙁

I recently moved my nav b/c I added two pages under About, and wanted to downplay my inactive blog by putting it under there too. I didn’t really pay much attention to it after that, but today I tried to click on the “blog” link under About (and I’d just dragged the Blog menu item under About before), and it wouldn’t go anywhere. It literally was a dead link!

I went to Appearance > Menus > Posts and saw none of them were listed under “Blog” so I moved them there, thinking that would take care of it. Um, nope. It just listed them under the word “Blog” then, and I don’t want that! I want a blog index page with thumbnails and excerpts like I always had 🙁

ALSO, now the Blog link (cuz I added a custom link since it seemed to be asking for one, put in my URL/blog, figuring I might have to have it at the top or something, also tried URL/about/blog) and now the Blog menu item goes to a portfolio item I have that has “blog” in the title. SO WEIRD.

Now no matter what I do, I can’t get back to that state.

Ideally I’d like the structure like this:

About
>Blog
>>Blog Index Page then the blog posts ONLY accessible from there.

Be nice if the top of each blog post didn’t ram into my logo bar too, what’s up with that? Never used to do that.

Photos attached.

Hi There,

You lost your Blog page, did you accidentally delete it? I added one you can see that on the pages panel then I set it as the Post page (under Settings > Reading). This resolves the blog link issue, you can now reorder your menu item as you like.

I am not entirely certain what do you mean “Be nice if the top of each blog post didn’t ram into my logo bar too, what’s up with that? Never used to do that.”

This looks fine to me.

Please clarify.

Thank you.

Thank you so much! I guess I thought it used to have some white space above the image. Which is another issue I have I guess…Is there any way to make those images not quite so enormous? Maybe not if I still want them to span the page, but I was just curious….

Thank you again! NO idea how I did that. Honestly all I did was try to drag the blog menu item under “About” so it wouldn’t be on the top line b/c I haven’t been contributing to it as often as I’d like, and I didn’t really want to call attention to that. The shoemaker’s children I guess! So busy working for others, I haven’t put enough work into my own property.

Thank you again!
