Setting Static Front Page & Posts Page

By default, WordPress shows your most recent posts in reverse chronological order on the front page of your site. But our themes rely on a Static Front Page in combination with a fully modular “Home Page” template which you can use to create awesome and flexible front pages based on modules. In this article we will cover how you can easily set up your static front page and posts page.

Well, you just need 3 steps critical to create static Front Page and Posts Page on your site with WordPress.

1

Create a Front Page. Log in to the WordPress Dashboard. Once there, go to Pages -> Add New. Create a new page named “Home” (or anything else), select “Home Page” as the template for your new page and then publish the page.

2

Create a Blog Page. Go to Pages -> Add New. Create a new page and name it “Blog”, “Archive” or whatever you want, then publish the page. DO NOT use a custom Page Template for this page.
