Thanks in advance for the help! I’ve got a beautiful blog set up as the landing page for my site right now, but I want to use a static slider page as the first thing people see on the sight and relegate the blog showing recent posts to a separate link in the main menu. I’ve built the slider page, and can make it the homepage, but I’m having trouble building a blog page that looks as streamlined and simple as the one currently the homepage on the sight.

Is the only way to build one of these is by building a Page with a “Recent Posts” widget replicated over several lines or is there an easier and prettier way to transfer what I currently have on the sight to another page and put it under the menu links? My goal is for the blog to look like this demo:

To create a blog page that looks like the integrity 1 demo, please follow these steps:

1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Blog > Style
2. Click on Masonry style.
3. Save and publish your changes

Now to show the static slider homepage just change the settings under Dashboard > Settings > Reading. Choose your slider page as front-page.

Let us know how this goes!

Does it need to be built as a special page or is there a simple link to it somewhere within X?

You have to create a new page called Blog, and set it at Admin > Settings > Reading > Front page displays > Posts Page just like how you set your home page.

Then, go to Admin > Appearance > Menu and add your blog page.

Cheers!

In WordPress dashboard, please navigate to Settings > Reading > Front page displays:

– Front page > select your home page
– Posts page > select your blog page

Hope it helps.
