Embedded sections and confused pages

Posted in: Newsmag

Just installed the theme and I have no idea why it’s so confusing – I’ve done so many WP sites but this theme is baffling. I’m trying to do an EXTREMELY BASIC BLOG – like posts and an about me page – that’s it.

When I create an About me page with a text blog, it’s dumping that text block onto my home page as well.

The home page is also throwing some empty category sections onto the bottom of the homepage as well.

No idea what I’m missing – I’m assuming it’s some kind of template issue, but I’m about to bail and jump to a simpler theme. Any suggestions?

OK I found the problem – my home page was set to static and home and blog were set to the same page.

Now I’m back to some basic configuration issues.

If my posts are set to go to my homepage, how do I get back to the homepage when I click on a page in the menu? Is there not some default home icon or menu option that does that? Or do I have to manually create a menu item that links to the homepage?

Also, how do I configure my post settings when I haven’t created the page in pagebuilder? My posts are going to the homepage, but I don’t know how to adjust the posts so it doesn’t show the entire post. I also don’t know how to edit the default sidebar it’s throwing onto the homepage.

Maybe I have to create a homepage and blog page in this theme, and can’t use WP’s built-in home page blog posting?
