I cant figure out the menu

I cant seem to figure out how to set up the menu. I did something wrong and now I cant figure it out. I want to display the recent posts on my home page. Right now if you click my title/slash logo it takes you to my recent posts but if you click on the home button it shows nothing but the home word. Can some one guide me to fix this. I’m new at blogging and I’m lost

    Hi Bernice,

    It sounds like you’ve set a page to display on the home page rather than the recent posts. You can change this by navigating to WP AdminSettingsReading. Set Front page displays to Your latest posts.

    Regardless, to answer your question regarding the menu, I would recommend giving this article a read.

    Hi Bernice,

    Have you added any posts? If not, try adding a dummy post purely for testing by navigating to WP AdminPostsAdd New.

    Hi Bernice,

    No. By adding a post to your website (which can be done by navigating to WP AdminPostsAdd New), it’ll automatically appear on your home page.

    Unfortunately, we’re only really set up to handle questions related to our products. For general WordPress questions and usage, I would recommend posting a thread on the WordPress.org support forums. I would also recommend taking a look at a few of the tutorials on WPBeginner, such as How to Add a New Post in WordPress and Utilize all the Features.

    Hi Bernice,

    You don’t have to use a shortcode. If you’ve set the home page as the posts page in WordPress, WordPress will take complete control over the page (meaning you can’t actually edit it) and automatically output your posts. I would recommend double checking your reading settings as I suspect they’re not correctly set.

    my reading settings are set to latest post not static page so thats correct right?

    Hi Bernice,

    Yes.
    Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at your home page? I suspect you’ve created a page called home and you’re viewing that page rather than your actual home page.

    yes its https://tagalongwithred.com although Im having an unrelated issue with a theme right now its being handled by siteground
